Speaking of...

The California Raisins...

Someone was sweet enough to put that one particular video of them on youtube. The video that I commented on my last post that I had got for my neice, Katie. So... just for you Pam:

I loved growing up with the Raisins :) Hey anything that mixes humor with jazz standards is alright with me :)

Thanks SKW. Now if anyone can find the Raisin's version of Stand by Me Neil will be very happy.

I really should be more excited for our local homegrown heroes, but these raisins were all over the t.v. here. This, not so much, but commercials- every other commercial was for the Raisins.

Pam- let me take a look for you too. Mr. Mike has a way of finding songs.

You have to admit tho, that was one mega successful ad campaign. And I did love that video. I thought the names they came up with and the imaginative use of fruits and vegetables was so cool. This was a waaayyyy better kiddie video to have to sit thru than say.... whinnie the poo, or... lets see.... Barney?

Jeannie said...

Yeah, I guess so. I was a kid at the time though...I guess it's just that they were everywhere.

Barney is not my thing, but I love my Winnie The Pooh.

Jeannie said...

Sorry, Pam- I can't find the song. The album is at eBay, but I was hoping to be able to download the track.

I was living with my sister, her hubby and her 1st daughter at the time. Kat was born in 1987 and this video came out in 1988. Let me tell you... there are only so many kiddie videos and shows out that I can stomach anymore. Thank goodness Thomas was never much of a TV/video watcher. He was lots more "hands on" than most kids. ie: spoiled, never put down, whatever you want to call it. :)

Fun post SKW! My brother loved the Raisins so most of my memories of them are associated with him. Did they tour? I think he went to see them live.
