Deirdre,
Wow! I grew up in that era and have absolutely NO recollection of that spot! |

I was growing up and watching TV then, too--- I think it was on during American Bandstand or something.

American Bandstand? Sure - I watched that all the time. But, that spot??
Hmmm... think I'll give it a 7. It was easy to dance to. <weg> |

Some background on the commercial:
| Quote: | In 1963-64 the Rolling Stones recorded a commercial for Rice Krispies. The commercial takes place on what appears to be the set of a gameshow called "Pop Show." There's a lot of rocking out, screaming kids, and plenty of snapping, crackling, and popping coming from a bowl of Rice Krispies. This shouldn't be confused with the "snap, crackle and pop" made these days by the bandmate's aging joints.
To date, only one officially released song is officially credited to Brian Jones, the 30 second "Rice Krispies," jingle for the Kellogg's company, co-written with J.W. Thompson and which the group performed incognito as a commercial (which was common practice for bands to earn money). |
And a small footnote:
| Quote: | A second song "Sure I Do" was written completely by Jones, but the only known copy of it remains in Bill Wyman's "Sticky Fingers" restaurant.
Unfortunately, nobody has ever heard this song. A handful of early Stones recordings were credited to "Nanker Phelge," a pseudonym indicating that all members of the group (including Jones) authored the song. |
