@@mslea13 Yeah, it's one of the oh so many commercials and theme songs ever circulating around in my head occasionally coming out of my mouth to the confusion and or "delight" of others lol
This is the greatest marketing jingle of all time. I've never had any interest in purchasing these dolls, but i remember the jingle word for word since this spot aired.
Definitely a catchy tune that sticks in your head, but I think most would agree that the title of "Greatest" belongs to the Nestle alpine chocolate commercial ruclips.net/video/ic3CV051-AQ/видео.html
I owned these kinda creepy lil fun furry friend's! Which is exactly what they were! Bahaha! They came out in a time when the world was calm enough to enjoy a cheap toy with fake fur!
@@chelsieschumaker4616 I also had one. Though it wasn't calm in my world. I have ptsd from religious shite • monchichi became my 'talisman' • I believed I'd survive all by keeping that silly creepy wee dolly in my coat pocket. So yeah ‐ jingle is catchy AF; & young me became braver cos of that toy.
Monchhichi began in Japan around 1974, the commercials started airing in the U.S. in the early 1980s. As a child I had no idea that I'd ever live in Japan or remember this jingle so much later in life.
It's 2020, I am 50, and my old @$$ still remember this jingle. I've never even had one of these damn toys, but started calling my black Frenchie a Monchichi...
I'd forgotten how cute these were! And here's another thing; I'm noticing a lot of 1980s trends coming back in a big way! So I feel both very young, (suddenly it's 1984 and I'm 18) and very old(old enough to appreciate it all but certainly not too old to enjoy it all over again) Thanks!
My mom would sing this all the time when we were little. Friend posted a pic on fb the other day saying he'll be your monchichi, with a monchichi from a local bar. I immediately commented this jingle.
i recently got my haircut, amd when i showed my dad, he told me that i looked like a monchhichi doll. not knowing what this was, i looked it up. XP i have never been more offended and scared in my entire life..
I have of the orignials that my sister-in-law picked up at a yard sale for 25 cents. She had no idea what it was when she got it. As soon as I seen it I began to sing the song and she gave it to me. My daughter loves it. She wants them to bring the doll back so she can collect them. LOL Love the dolls. Brings back so much memories.
I was born in 81 and Im sorry it took me this long to remember my childhood. Feels like a movie.What happened to punky brewster and Small world. He- Man, Thunder cats.My buddy and Saturday mornings cartoons? Treat your kids right.
Boy, I remember this. It's amazing how the calculated schmaltz of '80s toy commercial jingles grows on you over the years. The dolls were irresistibly cute, too, though I was too old for one at the time. Thanks for posting!
I'm 38 and I STILL buy them. Though I haven't found any in 3 or 4 years. Stores suddenly stopped selling them. But they ARE still made. Just not by Mattel.
My sister and I used to have these dolls when we were little. They have them at Target. I seen them yesterday..... I'm gonna get one for my niece for Easter!
I had a girlfriend from Japan named Chie. I used to sing this tune to her but I replaced every syllable with "chi". Chi chi chi chi chi chi etc. She loved it!
Me too... the song just popped in my head out of nowhere and I had to explain to my 5 year old daughter what the heck I was singing and of course pulled it up on RUclips for her...
Having a legitimate Mandela Effect crisis here. I'm only 30, but remember these being advertised in the early 90s. The theme/jingle has been stuck in my head for over 20 years, but I see no way this could be. Mattel ended sales in 1985.
From the Monchhichi wiki ... "The line was dropped by Mattel due to poor sales in 1985, but was reintroduced during Monchhichi's 30 anniversary in 2004 by Sekiguchi. As of 2013, Monchhichi dolls are still available in the United States from retailers such as Target."
I've been singing this song for years too! Nobody ever knows what I'm singing! Why? How is that? Well their young I guess. So I am so excited to see that I could find this video to show that the Monchecheese were real !!!!
elrond3737 I only know of these from my mom she said that she wanted one and now the song is a joke in my family also she really wanted a cabbage patch doll(American girl doll from the 19'0 )and she only got a head of one because it was free and a decoration so she put cloths under to make it look like a body in a way and she other funny stories to like once she had to wait and hour everyday at Edwards carpet store and for that hour she stared at a really creepy mechanic gorilla outside the shop every single day and she said that after a while she started to get scared
Omg this pops into my head and I hadn't seen this commercial in like 30 years or so. Why must I be tormented by the evil monchhichis! This is proof there is no god! Ok ill stop being dramatic, but this is annoying to have a song like this stuck in your head for so long.
Back when I first discovered CNN in 1982, when they went to commercial, they played an instrumental piece that sounded like the monchichi music in this commercial. I just kept singing "Monchichi Monchichi" whenever that played.
I remember singing the song until we drove our mom CRAZY, but I sure don't remember this commercial. NO ONE has ANYTHING on OUR 80's. The best clothes, the best music, the best toys, the best TV... Gen X: that's where it's at.
Well! You and I is pretty much the same age. I was born in 78. I vaguely remember this commercial. I was probably almost 5 years old when this came around in 83.
I just had to explain what a monchichi was and that transitioned to cha,cha,chia! Wow! Then had to play that commercial and song as well to my sister and brother in law..
I had to watch this cause one of my coworkers looks just like a Monchichi, he's too young to get the reference but I bet his mom and dad know it's true
When I was really young, I thought my mom was a monchichi.... bc she had a bunch of pics of her cuddling a monchichi & my baby brain thought they looked the exact same.
Sometimes, back in the early-mid 80s, I would find myself fishing for catfish in the old mill pond and I would have a Monchichi strapped to my upper inner thigh to ward off witches and succubi.
I’m grown man....52 years old. Two grown sons. And still...... find myself signing this jingle. From the 80’s Wow......
Yep!!! Me too!!! At 49. So that jingle... trickled threw the year's.
Yes me too. I'm 46.
Yes same here it was engraved into our brains when we were kids 🤔
I'm 50 .. I do too ..crazy how these stay in your head
You ain't the only one!😆
I've been singing this song for 36 years. I still do.
Saaaaaaaaaaaaame!!!!!
Omfg I have been doing the same thing
Jason 😂😂😂 Monchichi Monchichi...Ha! I’m sorry for your ear worm but you are not alone... “we’re in this together!!!” HA!
@@mslea13 Yeah, it's one of the oh so many commercials and theme songs ever circulating around in my head occasionally coming out of my mouth to the confusion and or "delight" of others lol
Oddly enough mainly from the 80's....
I swear every 80's toy commercial for a doll ended with a girl saying I love you and kissing it.
Aiber Lane ye ikr :,>

As a child I had no idea that I'd ever live in Japan or remember this jingle so much later in life.
I just had "Monchichi Monchichi oh so soft and cuddly" in my head and decided to google it and here I am. I'm 55 y/o! LOL
Same here
Same. I mentioned it to our 11 year old twins and searched here to show them.
I was born in 2002 and this song still pops into my head twice a week at least. Has to be one of the most effective ad campaigns ever
This song popped in my head this morning. No idea why. Haven't heard it for 20 years.
Still have my Monchhichi 40 years later, totally loved it.
Do you still have it? They’re so rare to find nowadays…
How much chi could a mon chi chi if a mon chi could chi chi?
Vincent Giacalone 😂😂
LOL!
Hee hee!!
Lol !! With these difficult times I'm glad I had a good laugh.
I think it's 8
It's 2020, I am 50, and my old @$$ still remember this jingle. I've never even had one of these damn toys, but started calling my black Frenchie a Monchichi...

I thought it was just me. The song is def the best thing about Monchichis. That song will live on forever.
I sing this catchy tune to this day...just pops in my head. 😂🤣
I have periodically sung this song since the early 80's and I'm a grown ass straight man. Disturbing! I know
😄 yes i understand
lol love it
@Alan Byrd lol
lol!!🤣🤣
Same here...... I’m a grown ass man. Two sons. And find myself singing this song from time to time
This jingle and the Rough Riders jingle have been stuck in my head since 1982. There were some marketing wizards behind those commercials.
Wow, memories!! I was nicknamed from loving this cartoon so much as a child😍
My lil monchichi
hahah i've had this song stuck in my head for decades and decades! Same as "my buddy"
2022 and I had to look it up because I still sing it!
My mom would sing this all the time when we were little. Friend posted a pic on fb the other day saying he'll be your monchichi, with a monchichi from a local bar. I immediately commented this jingle.
I loved my Monchichi!! They were the bomb!
I remember this like yesterday. No wonder we all miss our youth so much.
Omg. I sing this all the time to myself. Timeless little jingle. I ❤️ monchhichi!!
i recently got my haircut, amd when i showed my dad, he told me that i looked like a monchhichi doll. not knowing what this was, i looked it up. XP i have never been more offended and scared in my entire life..
Hilarious!
My grocery store sells Munchee cheese. After seeing that, I just had to hear this jingle.
2023...just Monchichi reminiscing.🤦🏾
i can watch this over and over again.......
i can't stop laughing.
My sister and I got one for christmas years ago. We still have them to this day. And in good condition.
54 years old and I still can’t get this out of my head…
Finally know what this is from. Just remember my mom singing to me and my sister and my kids
OMG!!! This reminds me of my best friend (departed) who rocked the monchichi haircut! RIP Mon
I just woke up with this song stuck in my head. I have no idea... Rubber room here I come

I love Monchichi Dolls:). However, I never had one as a Child, so I am going to get one as an Adult.
My little 8 year old daughter loves this commercial ever since we decided to look it up one day. Now every once in awhile she asks to rewatch it,lol
3 years late but did you end up getting her a monchichi doll?
@@berrypepperroni7708 yes! She owns 3
I love you Monchichi! :)
Omg!!! Just mentioned these to a younger friend and she was clueless! I think I'm offended! LOL!!! Thanks to whoever shared this wonderful memory!
My dad likes to bring up the Monchichi song every now and then.
I picture hell to be a billion of these things singing this song in a loop
Dan T do you mean heaven?
No that would defiantly be hell.

I got mine for my 1st birthday 14 years ago and it’s still in good shape was my first toy ever I love her ❤️🤪
I just turned 46 and I don’t ever remember actually having these dolls but that stupid song has been stuck in my head since I can remember!
I loved this commercial ♥️.
Bwahahaha!! Omg! I remember these dolls!
My mom always sang this song when I was little and I always wondered where it was from 😂
I had a girlfriend from Japan named Chie. I used to sing this tune to her but I replaced every syllable with "chi". Chi chi chi chi chi chi etc. She loved it!
I love my monchichi no matter what because of this song! 😍🎶
still in my head
Wonderful memories of the early 1980's! Thanks for posting this!
they are so cute my mom just gave one to my daughter and she loves it they're so cute :)
This song played in my head for 25 years! 'with her thumb in her mouth it's really neat..' this song is by far the catchiest thing ever written!
Me too... the song just popped in my head out of nowhere and I had to explain to my 5 year old daughter what the heck I was singing and of course pulled it up on RUclips for her...

I saw a Monchichi tshirt n the store today and memory was unlocked! I had to find this to prove to my kids I’m not crazy
Anybody else born around 1975 who remembers these? I had the one with the Blue zip up jacket.
54 here. As kids we changed the lyrics to "With her thumb up her butt she's really neat, fun to step on his little feet". Gen X was built different.
I STILL buy these🥺
I've been singing this song for years too! Nobody ever knows what I'm singing! Why? How is that? Well their young I guess. So I am so excited to see that I could find this video to show that the Monchecheese were real !!!!
"boy doll" years ahead of its time!
this song pops into my head every so often... but i have changed the words to" so soft and deadly" It seems more appropriate
This happens to someone I know.

I remember these commercials from my youth.
When I was a kid my mom bought me the whole set of Monchichi dolls for christmas except for the Tree House they lived in, I was devastated...LOL
My daughter find one a few weeks ago on a fly market, she was so happy💕👍
Got one for my birthday today! She’s so adorable I love her sm
That commerical so makes me miss Sat morning cartoons and the tv ads in which every other ad I wanted that item for either by birthday or X-mas!!! LOL

I knew someone in the 80’s who looked just like one too
It’s 2024 and I’m still singing the jingle and wanting one of those dolls!
When I see someone with fuzzy hair I sing this song. Usually quietly and to myself.

Seriously, jingles were the best! Commercials need to get those back in!

I used to pick radishes on a farm with one of these strapped on my back. Very satisfying.
Sometimes, back in the early-mid 80s, I would find myself fishing for catfish in the old mill pond and I would have a Monchichi strapped to my upper inner thigh to ward off witches and succubi.
I mean, who didn't have these when growing up? They were equally as popular as the Cabbage Patch Dolls in our town.
Just here because of Robin Williams.
this toy was originally a french toy named actually my grandmother gave it to me and its actually really cute
