So help me I actually remember that commercial. Mid-90s claymation at its best, and the song they use is perfect. Good times. ---

I remember that one. Wasn’t there a more recent Levi’s ad with one girl dancing barefoot? She was even invited on David Letterman’s show to do it again. But I can’t find it on YouTube. Anyone know the one I mean? ---

I haven’t seen this one! The part with the pidgeons was brilliant. My favorite Levi’s commercial was the one with the kid getting wheeled into an E.R. on a gurney, they hook him up to the machine that goes “ping!” and his heart rate is doing this weak little shuffle number. So the patient starts intoning, “some times I feel I’ve got to…” _beep beep_ “…run away, I’ve got to…” _beep beep_ “…get away”. Before long, the whole room is… aw hell, just go and [watch the video](http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7942246826697969464) 🙂 A close second is the [elevator fantasy](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FW7mbcbs3QU&feature=PlayList&p=5862026F0C100968) commercial. ---

See, I already knew I was going to need a C-section. And I also knew that doctors sometimes listen to music while in the OR. But what I didn’t know was my OB/GYN’s preference for KROQ. So, what song was playing on the “Flashback Lunch” show as I was being prepped for surgery? You guessed it. So there I was, high on whatever they put in my epidural and singing along with Soft Cell while Mr. Lucky, the only relative allowed in the delivery room on account of he was the dad, looked on and whispered, “shh, the doctor is looking at you funny.” :o Fortunately everything turned out OK, and the Princess has known since birth what a weirdo her mommy is. 😉 ---

Levi’s had a radio commercial in the late '60s that was like a hippy relaxation tape. I wish I could find it, but … I’ll just have to “Imagine myself…” ---

And then there’s the [‘Laffin’ Levi’s’](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JRxwZ146L4) spot.
