oh my heck…
LDS

oh my heck…

written by Jana July 11, 2007

My kids can sing all the words to this Mormon commercial despite the fact that they’ve never seen it themselves. John and I have sung it to them many, many times. Weird, eh?

Ha! I didn’t know anyone else remembered about that commercial. It’s been awhile, but I have been know to sing that song around the house too! LOL

That song totally takes me back to my childhood. Crazy.

I’ve corrupted them, though–you didn’t mention their favorite versions:
– Goofy and Mickey Mouse.
– Man with a really thick Japanese accent.
– Versions with various words swapped out or mispronounced.

I don’t remember seeing that commercial, but isn’t that kid Alfonso Ribeiro?

Love it Jana…I didn’t realize as a kid how weird (and cool actually) it was to have an entire commercial sung like a scene from a little opera. The baritone is pretty good! I love serendipitous production numbers.

Looks like you’re right, Jonathan:

I know this probably seems trivial to most people, but…. I can’t help it:

If a ball coming from the street broke Mr. Robinson’s window, wouldn’t the glass have fallen inside his apartment, rather than to the pavement outside?

Reply

It bounces off of Mr. Robinson’s head and back out again, breaking the remaining glass?

Having not grown up in UT/AZ/ID, I totally missed this one. Awesome.

I grew up in the Bible Belt but still somehow managed to see this commercial. Not sure why?? In seminary, perhaps?

Bekah, it wasn’t limited to LDS areas. I remember seeing it again and again on network television (albeit during late afternoon cartoons) in the San Francisco Bay Area. It was perhaps my first encounter with the LDS Church.

About Me

About Me

Hi there friend, and welcome to my blog. I started writing on the internet two decades ago. Since then I've started and finished a PhD program, left the Mormon church and became a Quaker, got divorced, remarried, found full-time work in academia, took up rock climbing and outrigger canoeing, and traveled across the globe (China! Belgium! Italy! Chicago! Montana! Portland! Gettysburg! and oh-so-many points in-between). This blog is eclectic and random--it has poetry and cooking and books. And cats. And flowers. And the ocean (my ocean). But in that sense it's a good reflection of me and my wide-ranging, far-reaching, magpie curiosity.
