Anyway, I have speculated <A HREF="http://goodmorningyesterday.blogspot.com/2007/12/through-years.html" REL="nofollow">elsewhere</A> that there might be some copyright issues involved.<BR/><BR/>As for the 2 ads you mentioned, yes I remember the Ribena one; including the line .."Yes, but not too much."

My other half grew up in UK and have not seen this advert. What a shame. <BR/><BR/>On the topic of tv advert, I fondly remember 2 classic tv adverts - Ribenia [boy under the tree sipping Ribenia] and Baygon [Roaches saying in Hokkien, "bi di chu lai boh ta chi"] :D<BR/><BR/>Perhaps one day, MediaCorp might be interested to do variety show where audience gets to vote the best classic advert. ;)<BR/><BR/>- Kastlekonfusion -Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-1143169783119889522006-03-24T11:09:00.000+08:002006-03-24T11:09:00.000+08:00Like your idea.

I've always loved that Paul Anka song; it's got a tinge of sadness but that's the beauty of the song.fuzzoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11230708277476304142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-1133290469857319642005-11-30T02:54:00.000+08:002005-11-30T02:54:00.000+08:00Found out about your blog via Tomorrow.

I still missed the old Singapore that I grew up in the 60's & 70's even though we were poor. We used to live in Kampong Eunos near Changi Road & Still Road. The outhouse, one common tap for all the people in the Kampong to get their water & all the kids to play & run around with in the lalangs and climb the rambutan trees with! I was born in the late '50's & I certainly remembered Paul Anka's Times of your life Kodak commercial well, & is one of my favorite songs of all times. Excellent choice to call your blog that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-1133111368873866472005-11-28T01:09:00.000+08:002005-11-28T01:09:00.000+08:00Hi, learnt about your blog from folks at SG Herita...Hi, learnt about your blog from folks at SG Heritage group.

Can't explain why I prefer Paul Anka's song.<BR/><BR/>Maybe it has to do with this one incident that happened back in 1970-something when I was undergoing army training in Taiwan. One day, we were walking (patrolling is the correct word) along a dried up river bed near our camp in Heng Chun (it was summer) when I heard this song from a house nearby. It made me feel very homesick.<BR/><BR/>The song also reminds me of the Kodak advertisement where Paul Anka sanged this song with headphones on, in a recording studio. Have you seen it before? Last year, I actually sent an email to Kodak, suggesting that they run this advertisement again. No need to explain. Just run the same advert with scratches and all and the audience will get the message. But they rejected my idea.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I like the lyrics very much. Paul Anka's voice also has a certain sadness and longing in it, and it makes you feel nostalgic.Lam Chun Seehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01762020157703342970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16760936.post-1127623956904610842005-09-25T12:52:00.000+08:002005-09-25T12:52:00.000+08:00I presume you like the song "Yesterday Once More" ...I presume you like the song "Yesterday Once More" too.frhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13402261314300053806noreply@blogger.com
