I remember seeing a photo of some Aussie tourists in China, standing on The Great Wall. They held up a great big sign that said "built by the emperor nasi goreng to keep the rabbits out". 😂 Classic. 😂😂😂
Fairly sure that was a running series of Telstra ad’s. About a kid asking his dad to help him with homework.
Or something like that
The grim reaper ad was how my generation really learned about safe sex. Scared the sh*t out of us!!!
I'll never forget the look on the tobacconists face in London when I asked for a packet of Winni reds (autopilot).
yes and it was the 80s
I was born 1990 and became hiv+ in 2015 this ad still gets spoken about to this day. you wouldn't believe that medication has now gotten to 1 injection every 6 months. and even unprotected I can't pass it on. aids (Auto immune deficiancy syndrome) and covid19 are both viruses and with the breakthrough of psiizer, prep (pre exposure prophylactic) stops the user from being able to contract hiv in fact aids doesn't even exist in the 1st world anymore, but there are still babies being born with it in, almost every African country.australia really hated the gays for a very long time, so this ad still shakes Aussies to the core. and if you're interested in queer history, Australia has had a far more angry and violent history than any other country. les Patterson (edna average) was the poster boy for how the white Australian people treated minorities and the black Australians, but were America is going crazy with drag queens and gays, but finally over the worst when it goes to racism, Australia still shoves the natives into the middle of the country, and only helping them with food stamps so they're only allowed certain rashions.
Elizabeth... reds? might as well be on the white ox love haha a pack of red 25s id $40 today
……beautifully narrated by John Stanton……
The ants were advertiding ladies undies called Antz Pantz that had ant motifs printed on the material. Rexroth was an echidna, they eat ants.

It's on RUclips. Was the first Add to use a Shock technique, they wanted to Offend!
“That’ll be the phone, Reg” was said every time the phone rang by someone in the house when I was a kid.
What about..blood, guts & grease off the rod?
I rekn it's off a Sard Wonder Soap ad... we used to repeat it if anything was dirty...
And..NOT HAPPY JAN!!
I had no idea that came from an ad. Been saying it my whole life!
Oh 100% it was 😂
We still say it in our house
Still is.
Holden used to be an Australian brand of car. It was firstly a coach builder, then a vehicle assembler, then a wartime military manufacturer and then, in 1948, it became affiliated with General Motors, as General Motors Holden or GMH, and began manufacturing a fully Australian car. Ford soon followed suit with a local variant of the Falcon, which later became a fully Australian car as well, and Chrysler some time later. Holden closed their doors in 2018 after General Motors abandoned right hand drive production. It is the loss of a marque that we will regret for some time to come. Holden became the Aussie equivalent of Opel in Europe or Vauxhall in the UK or Chevrolet/Pontiac/Oldsmobile/Buick in the US
GMH started around 1930 after General Motors from the US took over their main body builder Holden's.
The new GMH company assembled other GM make cars before and after the November 1948 launch of the Holden named car.
Let's not forget the billions of dollars in government funding they received to remain in Australia and then refused to pay back when they closed-up shop
Louie the fly ads have been around with their catchy jingle almost as long as Australia has had TV. Everyone can sing it.
Catchy jingles have always been popular for our ads, they certainly help the product name stick. As well as Lube Mobile and Louie the Fly, there’s such classics as the Aeroplane Jelly song, We’re happy little Vegemite’s, C’mon Aussie C’mon for the cricket and Aussie kids are Weetbix kids.
“That’ll be the phone Reg” has been adopted into everyday speech much like “Not happy Jan”
The adult reading hotline number must be the only phone number every Aussie knows off by heart 😂 and charter boat is very much still part of the lexicon, used it 2 days ago lol
that & Victory curtains & blinds 🤣
Let’s not forget Bundaberg Rum, drop bears.
I still remember Pizza Hut from what I was a kid too
That and lube mobile 13 30 32 😅
@@HeiwaTori i forgot about that one. Now that’s stuck in my head 😂😂
"That'll be the phone, Reg" is STILL a saying. Right up there with "Not happy, Jan" and "Too many rabbits in China".
The grim reaper scared a lot of people. It won a lot of awards. Louie the fly was everyone's favourite.
Poor old Louie kept dying over and over through the years
Louie the Fly ads were brilliant!!
Bryce Courtney (the author) wrote the first one...
I could be wrong but the Australian ad that got most global traction would have to be the Victorian train safety ad "Dumb ways to Die", just looked and the extended version is at 270M views on RUclips.
Never heard of it.
@@itsamindgame9198
Same here.
Trayolphia says it's a game. So it's clearly not a tv commercial, at all.
Especially not one that ever went to air on Australian tv, that's for sure.
@@mebeme007 the tv ad was in Victoria only. There is a game from it though. I think he had it in the last lot
@@ariaflame-au
When did this ad go to air in Victoria.
Because I'm Victorian, born and bred. Been living in Vic for nearly a handful of decades and I don't recall seeing it.
@@mebeme007 I think it was mostly aired in Melbourne because the ad was commissioned by Metro Trains Melbourne.
As a younger Aussie it’s strange to see older versions of these ads, like the reading writing helpline I remember a woman singing and the classic Mortein ad didn’t really have “More smart, more safe, Mortein” that’s been ingrained in my soul
Heck, the “Slip Slop Slap” nowadays has two extra steps “Seek shade” and “Slide on sunnies (sunglasses)”
I remember when they added the sunnies, it was slip slip slap wrap back then. And another add-on line that said ‘especially in the middle of the day!’
A lot of the public service ads are ingrained for me. Slip Slop Slap for sure, but also the Don't Be a Wally with Water ads, the Vitamin song ad and I can't believe that some of the TAC ads aren't included - especially the Lucky Phil Ads. "If you drink and drive, you're a bloody idiot!" must be a catch phrase all Aussies know. Love your vids. You really make this expat proud and wistful.
My mum STILL says "That'll be the phone Reg" to me evey time it rings!
I remember how controversial the Grim Reaper AIDS ad was. A good selection of annoying, funny and clever ads there. 👍🇦🇺
The ad was axed after just 3 weeks after an outpouring of hate crimes toward the LGTBQIA+ community was attributed to the commercial.
I was so terrified of that ad 😢 I was just a kid and had nightmares, oh and the smoking ads, don't even 🤚
@@unoriginalsyn yes and there was another one that showed 100 beds all lined up and how many people you’ve really slept with 😂
Effective.
It was originally having The Grim Reaper firing an automatic assault rifle at a lineup of people. The idea was scratched when they realised that the ad would only be five seconds long. That's when they went for the more family-friendly concept of bowling.
The literacy ad is still running. Catchy to help you remember the number ❤and the solo ad has just been reimagined as well as Louis the fly
that’ll be the phone Reg 😂😂
The Aids ad with the grim reaper bowling down people like ten pins. As 1 of the most effective ads ever made
I'm 63 and remember the words for every 1 of these ads 😂. The songs were so catchy they were ingrained into our heads
Please watch the series of ads with Rhonda and Ketut! They’re so good!
I also recommend watching Home and Away and Neighbours.
I’m 62 - I can still sing the Louie the Fly jingle word for word and I still say “that’ll be the phone” when hubby’s phone rings. Funny how some things stay with you. The other ad jingle that has stuck with me is “not happy Jan” - still say it now. Oldies but goodies. Thanks for the trip down memory lane 😂
Antz Pantz was a brand of women’s underwear. The little animal is an echidna, also called spiny anteater, which has a long sticky tongue for scooping up ants. 😂
Lots of great memories there Matt, thank you. Highly recommend the Australia Day lamb ads, one per year since about 2008. Everyone looks forward to seeing them
Oh yes…the 2021 or 22 one specifically
I was going to suggest the Australian Day lamb ads too
Ohhh I look forward to seeing Sam Kekovich and the lamb ads every year.
The ones in more recent years aren't too bad. But there were some rippers in the earlier days of the ad compaign.
The “bugger” ads were actually made by New Zealanders but couldn’t be shown there at the time because of the swearing. The Grim Reaper ads were powerful and caused a bit of an outcry as being too frightening for viewing by minors. Most of these ads are fairly old now.
Yes, made in NZ. That swear word lol. Now buggar is so tame. Shame the Ozzie’s took credit for the Toyota ads. Remember Barry Crump and that short dude?
I bet a lot of Aussies would be commenting on how their childhood innocence got kicked in the teeth when they saw the Grim Reaper Bowling ad. I was turning 11, I was just beginning to believe girls didn't have cootees when that truth bomb smacked me in the face 🤣 A while back Mortein had a vote to "kill off or save Louie the fly" from their adverts. Australia voted to SAVE Louie 🪰
Aussie Bananas ad was always super memorable and one of my favourite shows as a kid was Round the Twist (especially season 1).
The Bugger ad was a classic my 2.5 y.o niece would stand at the TV & when she heard this ad - "Bugger" was all she would say.
The Aids ad helped save so many lives.
It did but unfortunately it also led to so much violent hate crimes that they were forced to axe it after 3 weeks.
@Dr_KAP yeah and now they're pushing trans kids and stuff and people are starting to get sick of that now as well .won't be long before lgbtq community will come under attack again if they don't back off a bit and get out of people's faces a bit
The bowling ad had a big affect on my generation as kids and teens. So much so that when we had a “free day” to sign up for different activities, a guy at my school showed up at the local bowling alley dressed as the Grim Reaper.
The fly spray line
‘Dirty mean & mighty unclean’ was used by AC/DC singer Ronald Belford Scott in Dirty deeds done dirt cheap song
Wrong song. It’s T.N.T.
Ha ha yer it's TNT lol
Mad & mean, and mighty unclean.
@@laustinspeiss dirty, mean and mighty unclean , I'm a wanted man ..... not mad lol
Hey malaka, I just live up the road a few km from bons grave . Been there heaps over the yrs .got a few mates buried there as well unfortunately
When I first watched part 1, my dad came in and started dancing to the slip slop slap, so I went back to the start of the video to play him the jelly song, we actually have a packet of that brand of jelly in our pantry right now. My mum also knew a lot of those advertisements, myself as well, singing along and some dancing (we do not know nor have we ever seen that AIDS ad), but it quickly went from happiness to anger and sadness as we got to the end and my mum is I'll say a heavy smoker, and she recognised the brand of cigarettes, but got so upset to learn that the packet was advertised for 40 cents, nowadays she can buy a packet the same size for about $30 to $40. 🤣😭
Someone has to pay for the extra burden of smokers on the public health system.
The AIDS ad reminded me of how intense our ads can be. The anti cigarette (the Winfields one was a longgg time ago) ad series "every cigarette is doing you damage" was quite graphic at times
All Aussie Adventures with Russell Coight. Great show. Accurate information given through comedy. Glen Robbins is the actor/comedian. His show actually helped a young girl in a real situation.
definately😂😂😂😂
Lano and Woodley (the adventures of)
Yes, Russell reminds me every time to forget to put my handbrake on...😆
Oh yes a great watch just don’t do everything he does irl
The jingles were terrific and I still find myself humming along with them ,my favourite add was the Ants Pants (because I'm an animal lover and that was an extremely attractive Echidna)
The thing that really stood out was the Holden ad. Such a heartbreaking end for one of Australia's most favourite and iconic brands..
That Antz Pantz ad goes hard. Those 90s Australian ads went hard. If you're looking for traumatising advertising, check out compilations of our road safety ads. They used to be really horrific, and probably not monetisable today, to be honest.
The TAC ads were bloody heartbreaking. 13 years ago they released a complication and even now, it's so hard to watch without crying.
ruclips.net/video/Z2mf8DtWWd8/видео.html
Some of these are soo old, I have never seen them before. I have seen their next generation that came from them. But I never knew why older people and my Parents would say: "That'll be the phone Reg" when the phone would ring. Now I know. lol
Oh yes, when our phone wud ring at home, someone would yell out, “That’ll be the phone Reg.” Some ads you forget, some are so well done they stick in your mind forever - as you eventually discovered lol 😊
Did they also say "wash your hands Geoffrey, with the Solvol Geoffrey"?
@@marielcalder103 oh yes, haven’t said, Wash ya hands Geoffrey for years lol. Must say it again when appropriate lol
Fun Fact the 5 cougars thanks girl was working illegally and got deported. I remember the cottee's ad, everyone would sing it as My dad picks his Bum, which goes to Cottee's...
"That'll be the phone Reg" is something I still say to this day lol
I remember all these ads...showing my age 😵💫
Oh man, trust me as a child when the AIDS ad came out, it thoroughly IS ingrained in me. The ad makes me tear up. Not from trauma, but because it was so terrifying.
Wow you've certainly unlocked 🔓 a treasure chest of memories
Unfortunately Holden is no longer around as it’s been shut down by its parent company General Motors. They now exist under the name of GMSV as opposed to its original HSV (Holden Specialty Vehicles), also mortein still exists with the newer slogan “more smart, more safe, mortein”
#HoldenForever
You REALLY NEED to check out the best of the Paul Hogan show. He was the the main character (and 1 of the writters) of Crocodile Dundee. He's really funny and a total legend.... cheers mate.
Everyone in Australia of a certain age knows “one three double oh six triple fiveeeee oh six” the ad clearly worked.
We've just had a TV show "In our Blood" on our national broadcaster ABC here in Australia about the AIDs crisis which explained how we got to the Grim Reaper ads. They were very effective and helped Australia control the spread of AIDS. Love the Toyota bugger ads, every time you saw them you couldn't help smiling!
@@wannabebluestocking Me too. It was an excellent series, and showed how well that ad worked.
In the early 2000s in Australia (at least in NSW & Vic) there was this ad campaign to get people to stop smoking, which had a girl telling a story to her dad who was in a hospital bed with a ventilator. It was morbid, but it was played on TV so much that, when it was played during one of my health classes in high school, all of us students recited it in unison with the ad. I think a similar thing happened when we had an excursion to the cinema too.
I can still remember the words to this day:
"We started playing cricket, and I hit the ball so high, that uncle Mark... he forgot where he was going... he tried to catch the ball, and landed face first in the mud. It was so funny, dad. You should've been there."
Also, the version you watched of the reading writing hotline was the updated chilled-out version of the song. There used to be another more upbeat one with a woman's voice singing the number, which was the more memorable version (& it also has more of the classic Aussie jingle sound). It's in this video starting at 1 min:
ruclips.net/video/sMXFqfT1weQ/видео.html
Our 4 biggest TV Dramas in Australia were:
PRISONER, A country practice, Sons&Daughters and E Street.
I suggest watching an episode.
Before then Number 96, The Box, Division 4, Matlock Police & Cop Shop
Homicide
"Charter boat? What charter boat?" was a fucking classic
Got to find the Milk… Are you getting enough barn dance ad 😂
Loved it, 'one glass of milk and I can go all night'
Yes, Holden WAS a brand of Car manufactured in Australia.
Being from the UK, you’d probably recognise it as “Vauxhall”.
The old Holden plant is a 5 minute drive from where I live. We’d often see brand new cars going around the rest track with “Vauxhall” branded across the hood and bonnet.
Friends and family used to work there and everyone confirmed any car coming off the production line branded Holden was staying in Australia but those marked “Vauxhall” were destined for the UK.
Some other old TV ads to check out are the old Victoria Bitter Beer ads, the old Four 'N' Twenty meat pie ads and the Pizza Hut ads with Dougie the delivery boy.
A hard earned thirst needs a big cold beer.
The hilux ones were taken off the air for a short time because a few people complained about the word bugger. Fortunately saner minds prevailed and they came back.
I remember all those commercials, classics.
Of several people involved in the creation of the “Louie the fly” advert, was well-known author Bryce Courtney.
John Tish was the original animator . Lovely bloke .
@@keithkearns93 👍
Sorry mate, l just wrote the same comment as you!!
Shdve read the threads first!👍
@@baabaabaa2293 👍😹
They tried to get rid of Louie but the Aussie public protested so he was reinstated 😂
There is also the iconic, 'don't forget the aeroguard, and have a good weekend Mr Walker' from the 70's. The 'G o G G o' yellow pages add and the Gobbledock chip adds too.
I vote that you need to watch Round the Twist. Good old Aussie classic
I grew up with ALL OF THESE ADS...nearly 63...
Just like someone else mentioned, I still remember every word and song to these old adverts lol
What did Paul Hogan say when he was walking around with his fly undone? “Gee this Windfields good.”
The Grim Reaper is classic!! Very effective and powerful.
Love love love the ‘Bugger’ ad 😍
OMG so many good ads. Thank you for the trip down memory lane!
I do miss the jingles. So creative.
In case no one else points it out, the 'bugger' ad is from New Zealand. The 'bugger me' ad is Australian.
And the curvaceous young Lady from the Cougar ad got deported from Australia. She didn't have the right Work Visa.
I remember the first one growing up in Aus, but don't think I saw the second.
She seemed like the type of immigrant a lot of people would appreciate.
The charter boat one cracks me up every time I hear it😆
The hilux bugger commercials always made me laugh.
Yes Holden was a car manufacturer that was bought by GM, it started in Adelaide South Australia, sadly GM closed them down just a couple of years ago.... Classic sedans, sports vehciles and Utes, please check them out!!
As a lover of 'football, meat pies, kangaroos and Holden cars' I was devastated when I learned it's a copy of an American Chevrolet (also GM) ad "baseball, hotdogs, apple pie and Chevrolet"
Really?
@@BeAGoodDoga ruclips.net/video/zqweygy9K9Y/видео.html. Our version is of course way better
And RUclips just served up a South African version ruclips.net/video/x1wvQ7ERXhY/видео.html which is really bizarre because it's still Australians singing, and the 'Chevrolets ' are actually rebadged Holdens.
The face at 6:50 says it all. the Grim Reaper ad gave us nightmares, but it worked.
the cottie's cordial. when we were kids we used to sing. "My dad picks his nose, to make the cordial. that i hate best" known as Snotties cordial.
I wish I could find that aussie ad for a wood heater. It started with large ice blocks that were slowly melting while a woman talked about all the benefits of having a wood heater. Meanwhile a man just sighs and mumbles 'ah huh' and 'mmhm' until at the end of the ad he says 'I like the shape'.
I'm 36 and the reading and writing hotline and my childhood phone number are still the only phone numbers I know off by heart 😂
I remember the cottees cordial commercial back when in school. We would always make a parody of it saying "My dad picks his nose and goes to cottees"
picks his ass was said a lot in WA
The Mortein fly spray ad. has to be the best from years gone by. Thank you.
Before you even start playing the first ad, I know it! Charter boat, what Charter boat 😂😂😂😂😂 reminds me of the line ‘still looking’ from a wife in another ad ! Fabulous line
Gave away the cigs when they hit $2.70. Thought that was outrageous.
As soon as I saw the grim reaper, I was like "Who told him to put that one in! This is a light-hearted video." Still gives me chills.
The great thing about a lot of these ads is that they weren't just made once. They became the standard for that company and they would remake them for decades. There are so many versions of Cotter's, Vegemite, and RACQ ads that all follow heir standard formats. So not only did people hear the iconic songs once, but they hear variations of them for years and they really stuck.
It also became really useful for public health campaigns. Sid the Seagull (from Slip! Slop! Slap!) was updated in recent years to include seek and slide. If you say slip slop slap every Aussie knows exactly what you mean. Similar campaigns were used for 'Ever K over is a killer' for speeding awareness and other ones for smoking cessation. The speeding ones are rather unique because they were incredibly graphic and confronting on purpose to shock people into understanding the message.
Aussie ads are built different!
If you drink, then drive, you're a bloody idiot.
I feel like chicken tonight!
Good on ya Mum! TipTop's the one, good on ya Mum!
so many catching jingles and sayings.
Wow, I love these ads, great selection, really memorable songs (too memorable)! My mother's first swearword was "bugger" from the Hilux Ads, that seemed acceptable! The grim reaper ad really worked! Lois the Fly, catchy story! Epic, anteater Rex, the ad wasn't used for long! Paul Hogan, 40cents - $45!? 😁
Tell me about it, I quit in 2000 and was paying around $45 for a carton of 6 x 35 packs back then. It's insane these days seeing people handing over the price of slab of beer now for a single packet of ciggies.
@@SpeedyCM I remember my chain smoking aunt saying "I will quit when they reach a dollar", but she didn't! Nice tax earner!
And it's not just the music!!! "That's be the phone Reg" became such a common saying 🤣
Louie the Fly adverts are still going strong to this day.
Mortein has now branched out to target various flys, cockroaches, spiders, ants and other insect repellents and such in various forms other than sprays.
Omg thank you, the bugger ad has lived in my brain forever but i could never remember enough about it to figure out what it was for 😂 i would recommend the banana boat sunscreen ad, another ridiculous and super catchy ad song!
So many memories, and sayings we still use such as, That'll be the phone, Reg. And Not happy Jan! I don't remember the charter boat one though.
Other memorable ads for me are Solvol, qantas (I still call Australia home), the Rhonda and Ketut series of ads, Mccains - Marge, The rains are 'ere! Cricket ads, Gogo mobile. I could keep going - so many good ads we've had over the years. 😊
The boy in the front of Cottees Cordial was my butcher in South Australia for many years. Good on you Jason.
Holden used to be a beloved Australian made and owned car company, but not anymore after they closed down all our factories and sent production overseas
We Aussies have the best ads. Louie the fly ads were loved by generations.
Holden was the classic Australian car. Sadly Holden is no longer in production.
And the classic coopetitor to the Holden was Ford. A love hate relationship that still exists to this day.
The great argument of which was best was put to the test in October each year at the Bathurst endurance race. I'm sure you are aware of it. If not it may be something else you would like to include on your channel.
The race goes for an entire day (2 days if you include the Shootout the day before to determine the grid start position). So here's a short taster:
ruclips.net/video/x6DWqabxIuM/видео.html&ab_channel=SupercarEdits
There is a series of different Australia Day Lamb Ads running over 10 years on RUclips, very funny
I’m a happy little Vegemite, as bright, as bright can be.
We all enjoy our Vegemite for breakfast, lunch and tea.
Because we love our Vegemite, we all adore our Vegemite.
It puts a rose in every cheek.
Ahh these adverts take me back. I’m a aussie and remember these very well. 7:07 the way the lady drops the baby 😂 classic
Another giggle was the Madge for Palmolive Dishwashing Liquid 1980s Advertisement Australia Commercial Ad
Hey there loving these old ads they are the story of Australian life so many memories. The Grim Reaper was totally frightening but it did its job at the time and saved thousands of lives. In terms of others ads...Australian ads for Coca Cola there are some epic 80s and 90s ads easy to find. Holden and Ford car ads. Have you driven a Ford lately is a classic jingle from the 80s. Holden had Australia's driving future from the 80s. Telstra a phone company had an epic ad to I Am Australian which was a tear jerker and you can't go past Qantas ads...always make Australians cry! Also from the 70s and 80s our commercial TV ID ads so Channel 7 Channel 9 and Channel 10 our big three networks...they had some awesome ads which they just don't do anything like anymore.. happy searching
Holden started as a carriage building company in Adelaide, South Australia. With the age of motor vehicles, they started assembling vehicles imported to Australia in the early days; eventually General Motors(US) merged with Holden to form General Motors Holden Aust(GMH), which lead to the production of Australia's first produced in 1948. And the rest, they said was history; General Motors pulled the plug on GMH at the end of 2017, and early 2020 killed off the Holden brand by replacing them as a Chevrolet.
You have managed to show all my favourite ads in one video! Always loved the Louie the fly one the most and still remember every word, and the Bugger ad oops I mean Toyota ad! 😆
So many sayings from these ads have become a part of our everyday language. 😂
Holden was an Australian subsidiary of General Motors, they produced cars under licence; and exported to the Asia-Pacific region.
There's so many ads that are ingrained in Aussie culture now. Not happy jan, thatll be the phone reg, the mortein song, the vegemite song, the cottees song, aeroplane jelly, charterboat what charterboat....All of these and more are said/sung regularly at my house!
Cottees song, in school= "My Dad picks his nose, he picks big snotties!" And I cant remember the rest.🤔
... to make the cordial that i like best )
hilarious, first time hearing the snotties variation...
That aids commercial terrified me as a kid in the 80s. I had such nightmares. Nowadays i just shed a tear for all the friends i lost in the 90s.
Your face at that "sic 'em Rex" ad was hilarious! 🙃
Yes I got my wish from your first video!!! 👍
"Charter boat? What charter boat?" 😂
What you should know about the underpants ad is that the echidna is the marsupial with the longest tongue... hmm. And yes, the grim reaper ad was bloody terrifying.
Most of thee ads you’ve selected are award winning advertisements. The Grimm Reaper was most awarded around the world.
Aww, shame the McCain corn cob ad wasn't here. First rains of the year I STILL say "Marge, Marge, the rains are 'ere!" 😅
One thing you need to understand about that underwear ad, the animal is an echidna.
It has a long tongue that it uses to reach into cracks to grab its dinner, ants and other small insects.
I loved the Solo Ads, when was a kid because living in far North Queensland, I used to kayak and raft the Tully, Barron, Herbert, North Johnstone, Mulgrave, Rivers. Still do. But now, Solo comes in an alcoholic version. No kidding Hard Solo it’s called. Hard Solo, is awesome..
I remember every single one from part one and here too. Alot like the lube mobile ad and the reading writing hotline are sooo easy to remember and haven't changed at all. You just need the tune and you've got the number.
