    I'm never gonna give you up! That's the tag line for Orange Crush. . . errrrr, no wait, that's not quite right. Hmmmmm.....errrrrrr . . . . .eh?

    Or was that 7-UP? (Side note: is it proper to capitalize the 'P' in '7-Up'?)

    Oh! Wow! I just keep sidetracking myself! NOW I can't stop thinking about 7-UP commercials and I don't even drink soda!! It's remarkable how catchy those theme songs and melodies were, especially in selling us products that are harmful. We've been duped! It's people! . . . . (I'll try to avoid the Charlton Heston association here and not talk about Planet of the Apes action figures which have me so obsessed that I cannot do anything except keep thinking about them and thinking about them and will do anything to get them away from people who have them. . . .Whoa. That. Was. Weird.)

    . . . . what am I writing about??
    OH!

    Orange
    Crush
    errrrrrrrrr.......... THAT was what I was talking about! I had to go back and reread what I wrote above. It looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue!! LOL

    This was the song I was thinking of. They changed the Rick Astley lyrics and I can't find them anywhere on the Internet, so I'm just kinda making these up from a vague memory of what I think they sounded like about 25 years ago. . .maybe 30?? It's hard to remember sometimes. I'm just so annoyed with my friend for selling me a plant for my front yard, but he didn't tell me it was damaged. I just got back from picking it up after paying him. Sorry. I just can't get over it.

    He sold me a bush with action figures glued all over it!
    Can you believe that?!

    Anyhow, here are the lyrics from that old Orange Crush errrrrrr, 7-UP (?) commercial that I'm trying to remember. Don't laugh if I get them wrong!!!

    I'm never gonna . . .FLIP you off,
    I'm just gonna . . . .JOIN yer board.
    I'm always gonna . . .CON yer peeps
    And annoy you.

    Y'know, looking back, it's sorta weird that the song was trying to sell soda.

    PHEW! This is a long post! G'nite!

        Wow, B. I so wish I could pop off to the corner soda shoppe and have and Orange Crush with you right about now. Uncanny.

        Or maybe a cool Uncola. Or is that cold Uncoola? Have you ever seen a Make 7 shirt?

        I know what you mean about the bush; I once had an xmas tree like that. Except it was rubber bugs.

                      It was the only image I could save from a barn fire, and it looks just as good as it did 30 years ago!
