“Napier is sexier.”

(Whether **Napier** is, OTOH, is yet to be determined.)

“Open Every Day! In Federal Way!” \<- was that a car dealership? I can’t remember.  
Does anyone remember: “Dirt can’t hide… from intensified Tide” ?

Oh, no, you’re not getting off that easily. Native Marylander from the '60s, and I remember he said it twice (cigarette in his hand, maybe?).

What was the product?

The wording might be slightly off. The tune was Blue Danube.

Choose Rival dog food [arf arf arf arf]. Choose Rival dog food [arf arf arf arf].

Your dog’s eyes will shiiiiiiiine, coat look fiiiiiiiiiiiiine, when you feed him RIIII-val dog food. [arf arf]  
Only remember the beginning of this one:

My beer is Reingold, the dry beer. Think of Reingold whenever you buy bear. It’s not bitter, not sweet, [blah blah] dry Reingold beer.  
Announcer: Plunk your magic twanger, Froggy.  
Minor explosion of smoke on top of clock case [?]  
Silly looking frog bounces up and down saying, gravelly voice, “Hi ya kids, hi ya hi ya hi ya.” And the crowd went wild.

We had that same commercial in 1960s-1970s Baltimore (maybe DC), but I’m having trouble nailing down which dealer. That “nooooooooobody” guy was apparently an actor who made different versions for various cities. I think there was one in Cincinnati (Ford dealership) that got attached to the Bengals somehow.

More research is called for and I’m on it. I’ll keep you posted.
