Slip! Slop! Slap! - The Original SunSmart Campaign with Sid the Seagull

One of the most successful health campaigns in Australia's history was launched in 1981, when a cheerful seagull in board shorts, t-shirt and hat danced his way across our TV screens singing the jingle.
'Slip, Slop, Slap!
It sounds like a breeze when you say it like that
Slip, Slop, Slap!
In the sun we always say 'Slip, Slop, Slap!'
Slip, Slop, Slap!
Slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen and slap on a hat
Slip, Slop, Slap!
You can stop skin cancer - say: 'Slip, Slop, Slap!'
At a time when melanoma rates were climbing and evidence of the link between UV radiation and skin cancer was mounting, the Anti-Cancer Council of Victoria (now Cancer Council Victoria) approached broadcaster Philip Adams -- then creative director of an ad agency -- to come up with a campaign that would encourage Australians to protect their skin.

My professor played this video for us today and she took it off before it completely finished because she was worried it would get stuck in our heads, and here I am 12 hours later searching this song to sing along.
