OK, it was kind of a lame Ad, but it has stuck with me throughout the years. I can’t remember the whole thing but enough to remember that this was a promotion for Manhattan sweets.
Come on, I’m sure you remember:
It was a montage of children playing together and eating the various range of Manhattan sweets that they had to offer. I remember the beginning, I’m sure you do too…
“Check the time out, on your wrist” – Little kid has the sweetie watch on his arm and rips it off with his teeth… smiling.
“Manhattan, Manhattan twist”
“Make that worm squirm… something, something”
“Something about a dummy…”
And the best part: A kid holds up two little foot sweets, just as the lyrics go:
“Now eat your feet!!!” – And he gobbles them up!
Song continues for a while… before the closer: “It’s Manhattan Ti-hime!”
I loved that song; it made me chuckle inside. Obviously not enough to remember the whole thing but you get my point.
A classic? I feel it is.
