LEVI'S JEANS AD 1972 (for the hell of it-related)

This commercial used to get shown in MASSIVE rotation back in the time. It's from '72, but it kept running for about two or three years after. The stop-action filming and the goofy jingle ("Lee-hee-hee-hee-vis, HA! HA! Lee-hee-lee-hee-hee-vis, HA! HA!") used to always make me crack a smile when I was little. Thank God for Youtube:/b1 b, 21b, 21

b, 21b, 21It still amuses me as an adult, but there's one little detail I didn't pick up on back then: that kid and the elderly lady are on some serious Harold & Maude steez, there...the moral: wear Levi's and score with women fifty years older than you!!/b1

    He was wearing "Big E" Levi's. Today the "Big E" Levi's (pre-71 logo with an uppercase E) fetch top dollar.

    Remember when all ads would fade out and in? I guess that lost second cost really added up.

    also, that Levi's ad is slightly long by 2008 standards...of course, I'm digging every blessed minute of it, but I'm thinking that Joe Sixpack has a shorter attention span these days.
