My kids can sing all the words to this Mormon commercial despite the fact that they've never seen it themselves. John and I have sung it to them many, many times. Weird, eh?

C'est moi
I was raised Mormon, but now I'm a hippie Quaker living in the OC with my two teenage kids: CatGirl & GameBoy.
Twenty-six years ago I lost my right leg to bone cancer. Awhile ago I had an antibiotic-resistant infection in my lower left leg, and now I'm healing from surgery and feeling better every day.
I like gardening, making history, outrigger canoeing, trying new things, and my afternoon cup of tea.

Ha! I didn't know anyone else remembered about that commercial. It's been awhile, but I have been know to sing that song around the house too! LOL
That song totally takes me back to my childhood. Crazy.
I've corrupted them, though--you didn't mention their favorite versions:
- Goofy and Mickey Mouse.
- Man with a really thick Japanese accent.
- Versions with various words swapped out or mispronounced.
I don't remember seeing that commercial, but isn't that kid Alfonso Ribeiro?
Love it Jana...I didn't realize as a kid how weird (and cool actually) it was to have an entire commercial sung like a scene from a little opera. The baritone is pretty good! I love serendipitous production numbers.
Looks like you're right, Jonathan:
I know this probably seems trivial to most people, but.... I can't help it:
If a ball coming from the street broke Mr. Robinson's window, wouldn't the glass have fallen inside his apartment, rather than to the pavement outside?
It bounces off of Mr. Robinson's head and back out again, breaking the remaining glass?
Having not grown up in UT/AZ/ID, I totally missed this one. Awesome.
I grew up in the Bible Belt but still somehow managed to see this commercial. Not sure why?? In seminary, perhaps?
Bekah, it wasn't limited to LDS areas. I remember seeing it again and again on network television (albeit during late afternoon cartoons) in the San Francisco Bay Area. It was perhaps my first encounter with the LDS Church.
They took the video down....does anyone have a copy of it or know where I can see it?
