Plop Plop, Fizz Fizz (1976)
from adslogans.co.uk:
The original "Plop, Plop" jingle was written in 1953 by Paul Margulies, father of actress Julianna Margulies (of TV show ER fame). The tune did not hit hit the airwaves until 1975, when the sprightly spokesperson Speedy Alka-Seltzer first sang it. Three years later, Sammy Davis Jr. gave the jingle his touch when he made two covers, one "Rock" and the other "Big Band," and performed them on "The Frank Sinatra Show." The original lyrics are simply: "Plop, plop, fizz, fizz, oh what a relief it is!!"
In 2007, Alka-Seltzer recreated its classic jingle in a TV ad released during the 2007 Super Bowl. The commercial was the end result of "Bring Back The Fizz", a national "Battle of the Bands" competition held in December 2006, one of three advertisement re-makes connected with the 75th anniversary of Alka-Seltzer

As kids, we used to go around singing this song, along with various other TV jingles. It was the 1970s equivalent of going viral.

Speedy Alka-Seltzer (voiced by Dick Beals, who also did Bugler the Bugler for Bugles Snacks) makes a return appearance in this 1976 spot. He was Alka-Seltzer's regular mascot on TV from 1954-64. Following Beals's death, Bayer,the company that bought Alka-Seltzer's original manufacturer,Miles Laboratories,wisely retired the character in the late 2000s.

The studio that did RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER and all Rankin-Bass "Animagic" specials & movies was in Japan. But this American-animated commercial is of the same caliber. :) I believe this was animated by veteran Wah Chang, who animated the original '50s commercials (in B&W).

Julianna Margulies' father did NOT write this jingle, despite the fact that she is constantly promoting this lie everywhere she goes. He worked for the ad agency that created the commercial, but the jingle was written by musician Tom Dawes, formerly of The Cyrkle.
