One version of that ad just mortified me, as a kid: A guy in the passenger seat of a sedan launches a huge bag of trash out the window; the smile on his face made me want to hunt him down and punch him.

I thought I’d heard that song before.

The doctor says “Never, never put anything in your EARS!” My brother and I loved it.
