Sort of a Musical Monday
Andrew has recently shown a few older Australian television advertisements which were fun to watch, so I thought I would add one of my old favourites:
Bananana-na na na, make those bodies sing
and a later version showing the kids now grown
I love both versions and I love bananas too, as long as they are the in season variety not the awful cold storage ones with no flavour.
I hope both videos play.
I've never seen either of those and I love them Wonderful!
ReplyDeletejabblog; these are from the 90s and I always loved seeing them on tV, unlike many of the ads today.
DeleteI had never seen these, either! Thank you so much for sharing! Love them!
ReplyDeleteLinda's Relaxing Lair; I'm guessing these were only shown on Australian TV.
DeleteI don't eat bananas but I certainly remember the words and time of Make That Body Sing. However it was a famous ad in the early 1990s, not in 1960. Unlike those horrible cigarette ads!
ReplyDeletehels; I knew these were from the 90s. I used to love bananas, but too many these days are sold from cold storage and they may look like bananas but they certainly don't taste like fresh in-season bananas.
DeleteI like bananas too - but not when they have black spots on their skin. So I suppose I only like them under ripe. Sadly I have not yet got our sound fixed.
ReplyDeleteElephant's Child; far too many prefer their bananas under ripe, some even eating them while the skins are green and think bananas are supposed to be crunchy. It saddens me a little that they don't get the full flavour of a ripe banana, though perhaps yours still might be if the skins are yellow and the banana is soft. The black/brown spots indicate perfect ripeness for in-season bananas and those can be mashed and fed to babies as one of their first solid foods.
DeleteI love nanners too. I'm in a place though where I can't watch the video. Looks like it was a fun one though, judging from the post.
ReplyDeleteThe Happy Whisk; sorry you can't view the videos, nana's are yum aren't they?
DeleteHow precious they are! Thanks for showing them through the stages of their lives.
ReplyDeleteSusan Kane; they were precious and I wouldn't mind if TV stations showed them again.
DeleteWhat a wonderful idea, to catch up with them later. I enjoyed this very much, thank you.
ReplyDeletemessymimi; I liked the catch up idea too, they did a similar one with vegemite, but it hasn't been shown much.
DeleteSo Australia grows its own bananas? Ours come from various places. I just checked and the ones we have now came from Guatemala.
ReplyDeleteMike; Australia does grow its own bananas, mostly in Queensland so every year they are devastated by the floods and there is a shortage so the cold storage stocks are sold plus imports from (I think) California, or other places. They are good enough but never as nice as in season home grown. Okay for making banana bread or cake though.
DeleteI can say I've never seen those ads, R. They are good, I enjoyed them.
ReplyDeleteMargaret D; they are from the 90s, so maybe you forgot them or they didn't get played in Tasmania.
DeleteSO sad - atm I run low on data and cannot watch but will keep the link!
ReplyDeleteIris; it will stay on this site.
DeleteIngo took bananas to work for years and in 1995 we visited Munro´s Banana plantation, at Carnarvon in WA! Thank you for the memory!
DeleteThese are both wonderful ads, River. Glad I saw them.
ReplyDeleteCatalyst; thank you.
