Songs from adverts you still remember word for word

Wasn’t there a version which included the USSR too, nice place Russia….shame about the beer?
There was!

The only bit I remember from that one is…
“Bye Bye Vladivostok, hello Tyne and Wear”

And there was one in Japan too where I only remember the bit where they board the bullet train…
“All aboard now, it’s gonna be tight, just like the local on a Sat’day night.
 
Just one Cornetto, give it to me,
delicious ice cream, of Italy,
creamy vanilla and chocolate dream,
Give me Cornetto, from Walls ice cream.

(Briefly a Boro terrace sing).
 
The man from del monte - he say yes!

I loved the colonel overtones of those adverts. :D

In fact quite a lot of 80s adverts have sinister overtones.
How about the milk tray man. Romantic or stalker?
 
Another local one for Burtree caravans: ‘We’re going to Burtree, to Burtree to plan a holiday’

Unfortunately no song, but my favourite local advert was for ‘a canny bag of Tudor…..for Tudor man I’lld climb a mooontin’
 
#I've got those, can't get enough of those Blue Riband blues... Blue Riband's the wafer biscuit I always choose, when my women treats me right she buys me blue riband wafer biscuit crispy light. I've got those... can't get enough of those Bluuuuuueeeeeeeeee..... # (cue wife type person with a Blue Riband) "Oh, thank you!"

Market Weighton too. My neice lives in Skirlaugh Boro born and bred.:)
We go to Skirlaugh quite regularly to get on to the Hornsea rail trail, there is a car park by the old station just further on from the village towards Coniston. In fact, we were there last Sunday. We also walk the old rail trails either side of Market Weighton. One in the direction of Kiplingcotes and the other towards Holme on Spalding Moor and Selby. Small world ETMFC.

Red squares dead square we know that for a fact,
No mcewans best scotch in the warsaw pact
Theyve just got propaganda not proper geordie brew
They ask about marks 1 out of ten for you
We demand our money back the KGB appear
Nice place shame about the beer
