clap on, clap off!

Sometimes when I'm procrastinating, I do things I shouldn't do...
Such as watching really crappy 80's movies involving figure skating on TV. However, these lapses in character do yield a bit of humor.

In between scenes of this really predictable, sappy, and badly-acted movie, they showed some great commercials for things that I had completely forgotten about. The first one was a Chia Pet commercial, complete with the beloved jingle : "Ch-ch-ch-CHIA!". The funny part was that I totally remember watching it in between Saturday morning Smurfs and Scooby-Doo as a little kid.

The other commercial was for the Clapper. If you don't remember what that is, it's the light that turns on and off when you clap. Here's the jingle: "Clap on! Clap off! Clap on, clap off - The Clapper!".

I have a feeling these are going to be stuck in my head for a while...

Do you remember that radio station in Arizona that played only commercials and jingles? It was like that or country, and the car definitely voted for that...
