What's it from, you ask? Rice Krispies commercial -- my nomination for most brilliant 'round' since Frank Loesser's I GOT THE HORSE RIGHT HERE ("Fugue for Tinhorns"/Guys & Dollar). B&W commercial from the early 60s -- Gene Puerling in charge of the arrangements. He created The Hi-Lo's and The Singers Unlimited but started out writing jingles for radio & TV spots. This one was his crowing glory. He won a latter-day Grammy for MANHATTAN TRANSFER's A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square. But this is genius, based on Frank (Guys & Dolls) Loesser's FUGUE FOR TINHORNS a round for three singers that begins, "I got the horse right here, his name is Paul Revere" -- Frank who won an Oscar for Baby It's Cold Outside would have loved this -- probably did, since he lived long enough to see it. ruclips.net/video/q6TIsxTdrCU/видео.html&lc=z22fdjrh3ofiwrvfaacdp430ey5n2igrfxgyjqw2dulw03c010c.1587239879165852 Thanks for sharing, Scott Purcell.

I recognized it right away as one of my favorite commercials from the early 60s, when I watched cartoons all Saturday AM. I didn't know the Puerling connection, but I'm not surprised. Thanks for that bit of info! I finally had a chance to give my own tribute to this commercial in an arrangement I did of WE THREE KINGS: ruclips.net/video/EIph3_qOegg/видео.html
@@safrone Actually it's the best imaginable recreation of a RICE KRISPIES commercial from b&w small screen TV days. Please see my note (above). Thanks for your note, Eric Blum.
stumbled across this by accident. And it's SO fun.
Hidden gem
CUTE SONG hi Dave Purcell
I loved this commercial as a little kid. I must have had an inclination toward counterpoint. Thanks for the info about Gene Puerling.

King’s should hire them
Any chance you know where I could get the arrangement for this song? Been looking but can't seem to find it. Thanks!
I believe its a parody of the song 'How to Build a Quartet' if that helps
