Does anyoone remember this McGruff commercial from around 1988-
McGruff says
“McGruff here with Regina to sing 'Users are Losers…”
And then Regina comes on and she looks Ulrta 80s and she has black hair in a ponytail sprouting out of the top of her head and her song-
"Users are losers
and losers are users
so don’t use drugs
DON’T USE DRUGS!
“And if youi know a user even part of the time
Tell him to quit, take a bite out of crime!”
And, so on and so forth.
What a great song. She was so cool.
I was hoping that at least one person on this board knows what happened to Regina, what became of her music career.
Or I was harbouring a secret hope that maybe Regina posts on this board and can tell me herself what she’s up to.
After that, I want to find out Alistair Gillis’s phone number.
Or maybe Kevin Ivanovan Rasputin Kubechesky’s whereabouts.
I remember the commercial and the song (I’ve had it stuck in my head since I read the thread title – thanks, Turpentine :)) but I have no idea what happened to Regina. Sorry.
I have a very vague memory of the song, but not the commercial itself. Wasn’t Regina the one who did “All Night Passion?”** That little ditty was one of the big requests at all our ninth grade dances.
I honestly haven’t heard anything by or about her since I was about 14.
**The line that sticks with me is “All night passion gets me through the day.” As a 14 year old, this didn’t really mean much to me one way or the other. Now, I must challenge its absurdity. Actual “all night passion” makes me want to sleep in and have breakfast at noon, perhaps catch a move later on. It does not equip me to be especially productive should I have to work, therefore I cannot say that it would “get me through the day.”
well, I don’t remember Regina, but there is a website for “You Can’t Do That on Television”. It’s even got an interview with Kevin Kubechesci on it. http://www.ycdtotv.com
