    Wake up in the morning
    Lots of hot water
    Night saver saves electricity
    And here's where it shows

    Woaaaahh oaaaahhh

    The night saver.

    I think I travelled back in time in my sleep cause when I woke up I had that going through my head...When the fneck was that last on - 1990???

    Dang that was some catchy jingle to survive that long. Or it was time travel.

    Count yourself lucky. A friend of mine spent 3 days in a feverish stupor, unable to dislodge the recurrent hallucination of those dancing teddy bears from the old Bord Gais ads. Three days of, '50-50 cash back, 50-50 cash back, ta na na na - ta na na na...' I don't know how he stayed sane..

    God I hate that jingle, solely because of a silly little version that I remember a friend of mine in primary school sung one day when I was in Sixth class I think, so 15+ years ago. I have tried, dear God I have tried, but I just can't forget it.

    Wake up in the morning
    lots of hot water
    forgot to use a condom
    now I've got a daughter.


    Every couple of weeks it just pops into my head and it drives me nuts. I really want it to fade into the distant mists of my memory but the damn thing won't die :(.

    It was to the tune of The Israelites by Desmond Dekker

    Hated that ad, now I can't get it out of my head, thanks OP :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,146 ✭✭✭StephenHendry


    yeah i remember that i ad very well, it would be around 1990. i remember the guaranteed irish ad , the one which starts with all the rubbish falling on the shopping basket.

    another ad which sticks in my head every so often is the birdseye peas ad, circa 1988 or 1989 which ends with "come home to birdseye country, birdseye country........

  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 12,333 ✭✭✭✭JONJO THE MISER


    I still have the jingle in my head, it was so catchy.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 292 ✭✭Eroticfishcake


    50 50 Cash back...unhear it, unhear it :D

    This bisto ad is another stick in your head jingle. I could remember the song but not what the ad was for :o

    hmm need to learn how to embed first! Anyway it's the one

    'Is Trevor ever getting up...never in a month of Sundays
    Is dad ever gonna get that garden cut...'

    Is this the first time "summink" and "avo" have ever been written down outside of an EastEnders script ?

    Hearing about the Nightsaver ad reminds me of this one.



    I used to be fascinated by it as a kid because he was up so late. It was like seeing behind the veil into what happened while I was asleep (ie. not much).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,017 ✭✭✭Bendihorse


    Shake n vac was another...

    What was the add with the three cartoon teddies in it, think it was something heat/energy related?

    Thats the version that came into my head when I saw the first line. I dunno where I heard it first, but I used to tell people I made it up myself!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,146 ✭✭✭StephenHendry


    the old milktray ad , the one where you man leaves a note for his woman,
    around late 80s. birdseye waffle ad of 1987 is a great one. guinness ad of 1994 was brilliantly put toghether as well
