There is some debate going on here as to which Lite Brite jingle was better. I remember growing up with: “Lite Brite, Lite Brite, turn on the magic light for colored lights…” Or some-such like that. A co-worker of mine said, “Oh no” and proceeded to sing: “Lite Brite, making things with liiiiight…” Which do you remember? And can anyone find a .wav file or something. My googling skills are proving to be poor on this one. ---

Third. I think the next line might have been “What a sight!” but I’m not sure. ---

I remember it this way: “Lite Brite, Lite Brite, turn on the magic light _of_ colored lights…” For reference, I’m 24. ---

I’m sorry that might not have been clear. I meant that I also agree with your co-worker, and the song I remember was “Lite Brite, making things with light.” ---

And yeah, I’m 26. My co-worker is 37. I’m sure the jingle changed over time. I just wonder if anyone can remember something other than these two, or find me a sound file. Sorry to torture those who have now had the jingle repeat button pushed inside their heads. 🆒 ---

Forty here, and I remember the cow-orker’s version too. I also remember it being “What a sight!” We had one, lots of fun, although I usually ended up just making consecutive rows of colors once we used up all the templates. Never occurred to us to buy more black construction paper. ---

Neither of those sound exactly right to me, although I can’t think of wha tit should be, either. –Cliffy, 31 ---

I remember the OP’s version. In fact, I sing it to myself at least once a month. The commercial’s jingle belongs in the same mental file cabinet as the songs to My Little Pony and My Buddy commercials. ---

I’m 29, and I recall “turn on the magic”. Maybe it’s regional? For what it’s worth, I was born and raised here in Jersey. Has anybody seen the [Lite Brite _Cube_](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005YXWD/qid=1113598209/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/103-3813173-8920617)? I wish they’d had that when I was little! And somebody please tell me I was not the only one to require someone with a pair of tweezers to remove one of those pegs from my nose. ---

34, and I remember it as “Light bright, makin’ things with liiiiight. What a sight; makin’ things with light bright.” I also remember getting it for Christmas, immediately plugging it in, inserting a blank sheet, and making “FUCK” ---
