TWeb audio promos

[Glenn P]

Is it too esoteric to do a promo around the spam boards? Cause I was thinking you could find a jingle from the Hormel company from the 40s (Spam! Spam! Spam! Spam! Hormel's new wonderful meat in a can!") and then say in an old timey radio voice, "theologyweb.com, best spam on the net since 2003!"

That's gotta be an American jingle, I've never heard of it. The only spam song I know of is the Monty Python Spam song.

Do you have a link to that commercial? It sounds like a funny idea.

The Bob Seger idea is kinda cool.... but I'm not really keen on singing. And Gharfish, that song got a new lease of life back in 2001 (I think) when Metallica covered it.

Thanks. I was raised on oldies. My parents played all sorts of stuff from the 50s through the 70s. Dire Straits, Moody Blues, Don Maclean, Jethro Tull, Beatles, Elvis, Zepplin, Hughie Lewis, Creedence, Petula Clark, ELO, pretty much you name it.

To this day, my taste is mostly older stuff.

I'm still looking for it. Try and see if you can play the one here. It won't play on my laptop. I don't think it's what I'm thinking of, but it might work even better. It's three-quarters of the way down the page.

I'll keep looking for the one I'm thinkin of.



I think we should try to get Trout to do the Seager singing.

[Kelp]

Nothing yet. This is tough.

They chose that song to cover ?! Wild ! That had to have been a challenge to "translate"--make their's. That's probably why they selected it, come to think of it. A good reason. (No saxaphone used, I bet.)

That's good raising ! My parents were youths in the late fifties, so naturally they carried a love of that (whole) decade's music with them to me. The music of the sixties they more or less rejected. That put a hole in what I heard growing up. The seventies came through loud and clear though. The late 70s and early eighties were to me what the golden age of rock and roll, w/doo wop too, was for them.

You must have sharp senses, so you are in a power position to work with Jack--make a formidable music & lyrics team here. Excellence is sure to follow.

George Burns doing a Spam Commercial! That was ... pretty far out.

[Kelp]

Thanks, Ghar.

Well, Jack, I can't find it for the life of me by google. I asked about it on an about.com forum and if that doesn't work, I'm gonna find a specific Old Time Radio forum and ask there.

Sorry, this might take a while

Think it's usable at all (and without getting fried for copyright stuff)?

[Kelp]

Btw, I was wrong. It's "Hormel's new miracle meat in a can...."

Here's the lyrics to the philosopher song if you need them, Jack. See if it inspires you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQycQ8DABvc&NR=1

Theologyweb.com - where it took over 20 posts in a lame thread just to come up with this slogan.

So how long have you been a fan of Mossy?
