It’s from a '70s (?) commercial. Do any of you remember what it was for?

Ha! I can totally hear this in my head. I imagine it sounded _kind_ of like the line from _The Battle Hymn of the Republic_ " . . .his truth is marching on" . I think it was a high pitched, sort of silly sounding woman’s voice (?) and I really don’t know what it was for but the first thing that came to mind is Clorox.

I can’t do notes, but it was like ‘one two THREE four [down a note] one two THREE four [down again] one two three.’

It was kids.

I’m guessing it was for some sort of breakfast cereal or something similar, because the line implies that someone has gotten some energy. But I associate kids’ cereal commercials at the time with longer jingles.
