"We might have welcomed him, except for one thing — his pants."
An old Levis ad I ran across by chance. I was playing "Adore," by Prince, intentionally, and when it ended, the next song in alphabetical order came on. It was "Adult Kindergarten," from this "Best of Word Jazz" album, and I went looking for it. The Levis ad, it turns out, is based on another track on that album called "Flibberty Jib." Which isn't about pants.

You were "intentionally" listening to Prince? As in by choice, on purpose, willfully?
Can't you put something else up about "little pants"?

I've loved Prince for 30 years!
Levi's in Dacron? The past really is a different country.
I've loved that ad for 40 years, and been a fan of Ken Nordine's Word Jazz even longer. Great stuff! Thanks for sharing.

Wow we're we ever that innocent?
"Levi's in Dacron? The past really is a different country."
Noticed that straight away, dpb. Course I also remember when polyester was a good thing, and then not a good thing.
Seems it is vogue yet again.
There's a lady who hawks polyester on QVC as "Liquid Silk"!
Laughed loud and long the first time. No longer.
"Liquid Silk" helped her carve out a nice big chunk of on-air time that probably makes her one of QVC's top sellers of women's clothing.
Gawd, I hate polyester, but how the heck can you hate a marketing genius.
The vortex is coming... the vortex is coming.
Polyester and that fashion adventure set Levis' 100 years well earned reputation and history back exponentially.
Another to reason to look back, askance, at the '70's.
The plaids, stripes, and prints--eek,my eyes are bleeding'
"Adore," by Prince.
Easily the best piece of music ever mentioned (intentionally) on this blog,...
