Every once in a while at borg.com we have to make a shout out to those advertisements that rise above all others (like here and here and here). First off, you win all the points if you include even a single frame in your commercial with a black and tan or blue-tick coonhound and an orangutan. Second, if you have a great message, even if it doesn’t seem to tie so obviously to your product, that’s a plus.
But if you also include a classic tune–one that sticks in your skull for several days–well then you have a keeper. And if you can’t place the song, it’s “Oo-De-Lally” from Disney’s animated Robin Hood, sung by Roger Miller. You can pick it up easily along with a bunch of other classics like “I Wanna Be Like You” from Jungle Book on CD or digital download such as on this Classic Disney album on Amazon.com.
And we’re not even going to mention that the commercial is just too cute (oops).
So here you go, without further ado but with much ballyhoo, we give you your own moment of Zen, thanks to the little green Android and its product from which these words are transmitted from here to you and back again (and product placement during NBC’s series Gotham):
Tomorrow, back to our regularly scheduled programming.
