1st to Bata then to schooL..

I can only remember the annoying ones & one of the most annoying & terrible ads that has haunted me to this day was for A-TKR cartridge car stereo. All i can remember was the strapline which was voiced by someone with a very loud & annoying voice, might be Japanese & he was shouting.. TKR, Takara, Takara, Takara!!! this was in the early 70s, anyone remembers this?

The other was for Yashica cameras.. i think it went something like this, A Yashica, a Yashica, a Yashica for Christmas! maybe in the mid to late 70s.

WaLau bro, was your time when TV's were stiLL b/w ?..i have no coLLection of them at aLL..:)
 
I remember the Levi's jingle "Fit's my soul, fits my generation....."

I was gogling for this song & other Sporeans have also remembered this jingle:

"It fits my mind/And it fits my soul/And it fits my generation/It makes livin a laugh/And loving a life/And walkin a celebration/I'm standing up/Callin to be counted/ Walkin proud in my Levi's/Levi's got me walkin proud/I'm walkin proud in my Levi's/ I've arrived/I'm alive/I'm walkin proud in my Levi's.

Yes black & white & whole families & friends would pack the room, it was very rowdy & that's why volume UPz until buay tahan, actually the tv was not very big, i think it might have been a portable tv, anyway those kena sit in front were blasted by the sound. When this TKR advert came on, everybody would cringe. I remember later on the speaker on the tv went koyak, blasted too loud & it was really unbearable. The other one i remember now was on RTM & it was for Rothmans Tiga Lima 555, the voice was damn deep, a real manly voice.. TIGA LIMA!! if that didn't make you want to smoke & put hairs on your chest, i don't know what will:D

Style, Quality, Excellence..Dunhill...

Gaia, Mutu, Keunggulan! :D

those who watched RTM1, RTM2 and TV3 (TV tiga) would have memorized this.

oh yes, when Lexus was first introduced to S'pore, it used this slogan:

Levis lasted so long when others like AMCO, Wrangler,Texwood, Lee etc all mati liao. Don't find their jeans that great. Very expensive.
 
BATA stood for BUY AND THROW AWAY in those days.

BTW, we have been pronouncing this wrong all the time - it is pronounced something like "Bacha" as it the founders/owners were from Czehcoslvakia (can't remember spelling; present-day Slovakia was part of it).

Community Centres used to have these B&Ws too. Many would gather in front of the CC to watch TV. All 3 races represented!
