Hi folks,
This was posted on another board I'm on. What are some sounds and/or phrases that were apart of your everyday life that you haven't heard since you were young. Here are some of the ones I listed:
"We're experiencing operating difficulties, please stand by."
That ABC announcer around during the 70s and 80s during primetime. (What's his name?)
"Crazy Eddie, his prices are INSANE!"
TV Bumpers during the midway point and before the last scene of a show. (Me-TV still shows The Mod Squad ones, and I always smile).
The 4:30 Movie intro
Thriller (horror movie) intro
Station Idents
Dial-a-Santa ads before Christmas (man did I get in trouble for that one!)
Gas station signal bells (when a customer drove up at full service stations)
The steady "DING" of a Mister Softee truck (no song, just the DING)
The Disney Summer Hit Parade commercial, once a week, all summer long adverstising Disney movies
"Coppertone gives you more from the sun!"
Good toy jingles.
Good TV theme songs. (beginning AND ending)
Classic cash register sounds (the buttons, now all you get is the scanner beep).
"...in specially marked boxes of Alpha-Bits (or whatever) cereal."
"Funshine Saturday on ABC!"
That clickety-click sound intro to "In The News".
I could go on...but you get the idea.
