It's a cool commercial! I love the panned/zoomed opening montage of designs; plus the jingle could almost be The Archies

I work across the street from a small airport, and on breezy days the old Windsong perfume jingle plays in my head: "I can't seem to forget you / Your windsock stays on my mi-i-i-ind....."

MTV Music Awards featured a scratchy, male Gen X voiceover during the late 80s / early 90s. Sounded very much like a voice Trey Parker parodies on South Park.

One year, a particular video landed in quite a few categories, and to this day, I still hear Darryl Hall.. Dreamtime - "You're living in Dreamtime!"... in my head.
