Ad Watch

A couple of weeks back, got to watch an interview with Louis Banks on Times Now (Brand Equity show). It was nice to see and recollect some of the good old ads.

Listing a few of them and other jingles that were my favorites of the yester years:

In random order:

1. Washing powder Nirma, washing powder Nirma...Ellorum potrum Nirma
2. Yeh zammeen, yeh aasmaan....Hamara Bajaj, Hamara Bajaj
3. Sila vishayame, visheshame, vaazhvile... Cadbury's Dairy Milk
4. Titan Watch - Mozart music
5. As crazy, as crazy as Goldspot...Goldspot, the zing thing..Goldspot
6. Sottu neelam doi, regal sottu neelam doi..enna venmayo, aha, enna venmaiyo
7. Am too old for... too young for...But I think you are just right for Amul chocolate
8. La....la la la la....la.la.laa...lyril
9. Saapiduvai, en uyire kozhi muttai..murgi ki andae(Hindi version is better)
10. Hai, Am Sanjana Got another Pepsi (not for the music though)
11. Ting, tingta ting.. Britannia
12. The taste that gets you started up – Nescafe

Good old DD days (or probably early days of cable channels)!

But nothing can beat this popular the radio commercial...'Ivandhaan my son..ivan......Bison' :-)

"kavalai indri parandhu thiriyum indha kuruviyai parungal"

"vajradanti vajradanti vicooo vajradanti .. "

Yadhvi said...

mukund,
true, and it is amazing that the product itself survives for such a long period..even in the days when even the villages have shifted to westernization!

Yadhvi said...

I like the 'kudikavendaam, appadiye chaapidalaam' of horlicks!
