@@dannog3212 my wife and I often engage in this debate. I think she is messing with me, she refuses to admit it is Go See Call, not pusy cow. We have spent hours on this discussion.
I don't even live in SoCal, I live in the Bay Area, but I somehow picked up this catchy jingle sometime during some random visit in my childhood. That's the power of effective marketing. PUSSY COW, PUSSY COW, PUSSY COW!
@@CaptainStupendous Cal Worthington had a dealership in Phoenix back in the '70s with the same jingle. He moved out and was replaced by Pete Ellis in 1980, then he moved out a few years later.
@@tetedur377 While living in the Los Angeles area years ago, I took a trip to Alaska and saw a Worthington car dealership sign. It couldn't be. I stopped in to investigate and sure enough it was his. Unbelieveable! I thought it might be a tax write off in order to fish and hunt. The little I know about him sounds amazing.
If your car’s a piece of shit, go see Cal. If the motor’s gonna quit, go see Cal. If you need a car or truck, cuz yours just ain't worth a fuck. If the heap you're driving sucks, GO SEE CAL!!
Cal Worthington thank you for the Memories growing up in the 60s 70s and 80's watching your commercials on TV Saturday morning and we loved every one of your dogs spot we miss your commercials nothing like them will ever play again on TV you were one of a kind
All this time the commercial has been saying, "go see Cal?" Ever since I first saw this commercial as a kid I thought it was saying "pussycow"! Thanks for ruining my childhood!!!!!
my friend's kids used to sing along to Cal's ads with those very same "pussy cow" lyrics and we would bust a gut every time.. I think it may have been due to the animals he used in his ads
Grew up in Redondo Beach, channels 11 & 13 had his commercials. Always made us kids laugh, thought he's gotta be an honest guy 😜 Rest In Peace, Cal. One of a kind guy ❤
I loved this commercial when i was a kid. I used to sing it, "Pussy cow, pussy cow, pussy cow." I also loved the Pete Ellis Dodge commercial, with the bouncing ball following the lyrics. Dial Chevrolet was also a good commercial.
He wanted to be a commercial pilot after the war, but he had never gone to college (he dropped out of school at age 13 to work because he grew up in poverty), so nobody would hire him. Can you believe that?
@Sledgehammertoe That happens to many today who are told they can't have a job because they don't have 10 years of experience or a Masterd Degree for a $40,000 job
Yes!! Cartoons until noon, blanket forts over the TV, and bowls of cereal while watching pussy cow. So glad we share these memories with so many other people who grew up in SoCal during the 80’s.
Thank you so much for this video. As as a native Soutrhern Californian who grew up in the 70's and 80's Cal was a big part of the SoCal culture in that era. This brings back so many memories. Thanks again!!! Mike
Whoa, I grew up in Alaska, and these commercials were super popular. I had no idea he had dealerships outside Alaska. 😂 this means there’s an unknown bond Alaskans and California’s didn’t know they had.
Those were the commercials that ran when my family first arrived in L.A. in the early 70's. They ran, seemingly endlessly, on channels 11 & 13. Thanks for posting the fond memory.
I bought my first car from Cal!!!!!!! Thank you Cal for everything. Growing up in Long Beach would have never been the same without you. See ya on down the road, for only 99 dollars down!!!
I have had this song in my head for over 17 years. One of those that you think about from time to time but can't remember the words, only the hook. Tonight, out of the blue, i remembered it was a car dealer commercial so i decided to look for it. I can't believe I found it on here. I was 7-8 when the commercial was on air.
Awww!😂😍when I was over my grandmas house (Toto) when ol’ Cal came on, she’d dance and sing: Moe see cal Moe see cal Moe see cal🎶and told me this was...🤔😣the musical for cows, because I thought it was moousical...(I was very young). I searched for this while remembering that! 😍oddly, THIS is my clearest memory with her😁😇😍
LOL! I just finished telling my daughter how, back in the 70's and 80's when I listened to these commercials in SoCal I used to think he was saying that too!
CAL WAS THE BEST. I RECALL AS A KID WATCHING OLD FILMS ON CHANNELL 9 AND 11 AND 13 IN HOLLYWOOD AND CAL WAS ALWAYS THERE. THE COOLEST CAR DEALER IN THE WORLD. GO SEE CAL AND I DID. RIP CAL, YOU WERE THE BEST.
I used to love the commercials when I was a teenager. I was raised on a farm and my dad would use me as slave labor and so I would change the words to suit my situation and sing it to my little sister. "If you need you turnips pulled, go see Scott; if you need your tractor fueled, go see Scott. If you need to feed the chickens or need your cows a milkin' go see Scott, go see Scott, go see Scott. If the toilets overflowing and you need someone to clean the bowlin' go see Scott..
Pussy Cow, Pussy Cow, Pussy Cow!! Great memories from my childhood! Always loved these commercials! Still makes us laugh and smile. RIP Cal! They don't do this anymore!
Man I got super nostalgic watching this. I grew up in Los Angeles in the 70's and 80's and remember seeing these commercials that whole time. I'm almost 50 now living far from SoCal but the memories still remain. What a simpler time it was. #MemoryLane
"Pussy cow"... Lol, they knew what they were doing. I heard about this guy while I was reading an Ozzy Osbourne autobiography, apparently Ozzy would stay up on coke all night watching this since he couldn't sleep, while black sabath was recording an album in LA durring the seventies
I didn't grow up in L A, but I remember the clip with the pig from the movie "In To The Night" 1985, with Jeff Goldblum. I was a kid and we also thought it was Pussy Cow. Funny thing is that I never knew it was a REAL commercial because in the movie, it came on tv, so we thought it was a fake commercial made for the movie. Wow, good memories!
Thank's man! I Ioved his commercials as a kid and I used to looked forward to seeing them just to see him with his animals. "Go see Cal, go see cal, go see Cal!"
That advertisement was into a Hollywood movie called "Into the Night" by John Landis with Michelle Pfeiffer, Jeff Goldblum, Stacey Pickren, Carmen Argenziano, Dan Aykroyd. It added up a certain dimension to the movie.
The first time I ever saw or heard of Cal Worthington was in that movie, on HBO I think. (I'm in North Carolina.) Saw him standing on that plane wing and thought, "What in the world?"
I remember seeing it in a movie with Nick Nolte were he played a bum who loses his dog, then stays with a rich family played by Richard Dreyfus, and a few other big names.
In the early '90s, my family's only automobile was a Ranger that my parents bought used, from Cal's dealership in Anchorage. We rode around in that thing every day in Western Alaska, after having it carried there by airplane. Our town didn't have any car dealerships & had no road connection to the outside world - the only long distance transportation options were by air and sea.
Wow. 50 years later and I remember that jingle and his ads like they were yesterday. I don't recall the cars looking so old though... Thank you for this!! I stumbled across this and snap, I was instantly transported back to childhood in Southern California.
I visited Worthington Ford for the first time ever, in August of 2013. I was hoping Cal would be there so I could meet him and maybe get an autographed picture. But alas, he wasn't there. Too bad he's passed away. RIP to a great American, war hero, and entrepreneur.
Oh the memories!!! Loved his commercials and the song! But the time he ride on the bi plane I was stoked! That was the last commercial I may have needed to see to know he was the Man!!! Car salesman of the decade!!
In 1979, we move out there, and we stayed in our motorhome at the KOA campground in Anaheim, next to Disney Land, I remember seeing these commercials, and my sister and I begged my dad to take us there, I just had to meet Cal, unfortunately, he was not there that day,...and my dad didn't buy ne a car either....but it made great stories for my friends back id South Florida..
As I stand a few blocks from his former dealership, I wonder what the future will be like to those unlucky enough not to have experience Mr Worthington.😮 What a character... he was!
Brilliant.i get such a laugh when I watch that guy. He's an animal lover at heart you can see it in his face. What a fun guy. Never a full moment with him around . Its just something I don't think we'll ever see again .....Cal Worthington and Crazy Gideon..... Love them . It's not until they're gone that you really appreciate the magic that was them . But maybe I'm wierd.
Wow, did you ever bring back the special 70's to me! I loved the 70's, and have always missed them.. always will~ Cal Worthington is all part of what I call Comfortvision for me! He's been a part of my consciousness since I can remember.. right up with Lucille Ball, Bob Hope, Ed Sullivan.. Lawrence Welk!
I’m a Generation X’er who grew up in New York in the 60s and 70s. During the summers of 1975, 1976 and 1977, I would fly out to L.A. to see my friends in Reseda and remember watching the Cal Worthington commercials on TV. His ads made me laugh because everytime he said “go see Cal,” I thought he was saying “pussycow!”
It's weird that you all grew up with these ads in Southern California in the '70s, because I grew up with these ads in Phoenix, Arizona in the '70s... but I think by 1980, Cal Worthington had left the Phoenix market. And then, in 1988, I was driving to L.A. from Orange County, and FREAKED OUT when I saw a Worthington dealership...
Now that is a BLAST from the Southern California Past... I grew up in Palm Springs back the 1970's & we would see those commercials on KTLA, KTTV, & KCOP, & KABC Los Angeles... They were cool then & still rock today... Like the man said, "GO SEE Cal!" David
these commercials....so much a part of my childhood. when I was a kid my grandfather and ol' Cal looked alike. lol. I don't know. thanks for uploading this.
wow....this brings back memories! I was stationed at MCAS El Toro in the mid 70's and ole cal's commercials were constant. I actually kind of like them....they were funny. Nice little jingle he had too.
I was watching reruns of Match Game 76..the contestant mentioned Cal matching 3 out of 6. I had never heard of him, he sounds like a great guy, a true WWII hero. Anyone here buy a car off him?
If you were a kid that grew up in Southern California in the 1980s-1990s and watched cartoons, then YOU KNEW THIS DUDE AND THESE COMMERCIALS, FOR SURE!!! El Cal Worthington, y su dog Spot! "Pussy cow, pussy cow, pussy cow!!!!!" Rest in peace Cal, you ol' pimp.
I was so hung up on the "pussy cow" thing...That I just realized this man was standing on an airplane while it flew upside down and was nearly mauled by a bear, tiger, and hippo. Thats some dedication 👏 🙌
I became shocked in my early 20's when I found out it wasn't "Pussy Cow" LMAO

OMG. I always remember hearing this on the car radio as a kid and thinking it was pussy cow.
A man who turned his suicidal genius into a fortune! Much respect!
You can’t experience Southern California without Cal Worthington. RIP Sir!! 🙏🏻

Good one!
Go see cal go see cal go see cal. He will eat a bug to make you a deal . He will stand upon his head till his ears are turning red
Cal was one of a kind. To watch him pull all of crazy stunts and play with animals that could have easily ripped him apart, was beyond amazing.
My father use to play this on his banjo. Great memories!
Mine on his father's harmonica.

Me too I thought it was "PussyCow", and I always wondered what a pussycow had to do with anything. That vid cleared it up for me.
That tiger is trying to eat him but he’s too busy trying to sell you a Dodge. Legend.
This guy was a boss in everything he did. A pilot, too??? Self-made man.
Awesome story. It's also amazing he was never mauled by these animals.
he was the BEASTMASTER Indeed
Reckless, yes. Beastmaster, no.

My great uncle was a car salesman and worked for Cal Worthington. The stories he told us....
Love the line, "I will stand upon my head, til my ears are turning red" hahah crazy Cal!
Yep,all these years later.
I loved this commercial when i was a kid. I used to sing it, "Pussy cow, pussy cow, pussy cow." I also loved the Pete Ellis Dodge commercial, with the bouncing ball following the lyrics. Dial Chevrolet was also a good commercial.
Pete Ellis Dodge. Longbeach Freeway. Firestone Exit Southgate.
Pete Ellis Ford. 91 Freeway. Lakewood Exit Beeeellflower.
Anybody who flew 29 missions over Germany in WWII and survived is alright in my book. He was also awarded the DFC and 5 Air Medals. Cal Rocks!
Plus he stands on his head. Til his ears turn red! You got to admire his sense of humor
He wanted to be a commercial pilot after the war, but he had never gone to college (he dropped out of school at age 13 to work because he grew up in poverty), so nobody would hire him. Can you believe that?
I got reccomended this video because my dad was interested in the "I will stand upon my head until my ears are turning read" bit for a movie
He was awarded the DFC by General Doolittle.
@Sledgehammertoe That happens to many today who are told they can't have a job because they don't have 10 years of experience or a Masterd Degree for a $40,000 job
Pussy Cow was an indelible part of my Saturday morning cartoons. Thank you Cal Worthington for going above and beyond to bring us timeless good fun.
Your comment made me laugh yesterday. It still sounds like he's singing pussy cow
Facts 💯
Yes!! Cartoons until noon, blanket forts over the TV, and bowls of cereal while watching pussy cow. So glad we share these memories with so many other people who grew up in SoCal during the 80’s.

Der KommiSSAr I was 213
That would’ve been something to remember.
Did snoop do a song for his commercial
Wo this WHOLE time I thought the jingle was "pussycow"! Not "Go See Cal". ROTFL

I was watching reruns of Match Game 76..the contestant mentioned Cal matching 3 out of 6. I had never heard of him, he sounds like a great guy, a true WWII hero. Anyone here buy a car off him?
If you were a kid that grew up in Southern California in the 1980s-1990s and watched cartoons, then YOU KNEW THIS DUDE AND THESE COMMERCIALS, FOR SURE!!! El Cal Worthington, y su dog Spot!
"Pussy cow, pussy cow, pussy cow!!!!!"
Rest in peace Cal, you ol' pimp.

I'm surprised he was not eaten by the tiger.

TuskMonk2 He always barely escaped being attacked by the animals.
Yeah! I've been to Worthington Chevrolet in Sacramento...a long time ago :)
I was in Alaska in '78 - '79 - I saw actual TV ads of Cal - Still amazing to see. What an amazing marketer.
Cal Worthington had the knack for selling cars. Grew up near one of his dealerships. Loved the commercials. Also a war hero. Rest in peace Cal.
