i spent 30 min trying to find this, the entire time thinking i was looking for a coffee commercial lol

This dug down deep into my psyche and pull that old memory to the surface hard. No lie, this is the first time I've seen this commercial and heard this song since 1992, hoooooly crap. I miss when commercials used to have these highly produced ballad jingles.

OMG! This jingle and song stuck with me thoughout all these years. The nostalgia. 😆. Great memories!

It's really a classic. I don't think it gets the recognition it deserves, but it's tough to pull off an iconic commercial in over 30 seconds.

For reasons completely lost on me, commercials of this time all had to sound like a choir of angels singing.

1:02 "And Now, Our Feature Presentation"

Ronald Reagan was unintentionally a major influence on advertisers in the nineteen eighties and early nineties as many of them tried to mimic his successful "It's Morning Again" series of political adverts to market their own brands with this Columbia House advert being one of many examples. Essentially they were trying to sell baby-boomers who were still the key demographic in the market at the time a slice of nostalgia that echoed the values of mid-twentieth century America. Given hindsight it was the final push for this type of advertising campaign as the marketplace and indeed the world at large would radically change by the end of the nineteen nineties.
