This seems to be during the Bobby McFerrin fad. Least it reminds me of some of his stuff.
No, Ladysmith Black Mambazo were famous in their own right. They first became really famous by being guests on Paul Simon’s Graceland album.
I used to love to sing along with these.
It was fun to try and sing the different voices each time.
Somehow I also knew the singers were the same people who did the opening theme to “Coming to America”. Thank goodness for the modern internet where we can finally find out who it was, and even buy their songs
I love love love Ladysmith Black Mambazo! I had forgotten all about this commercial!
Damn I want some Wint-O-Green lifesavers now
I remember being reminded of The Lion King after seeing these.
Venture Bros. has ruined Ladysmith Black Mambazo for me forever. I cannot read that name or see their albums without thinking of the episode which I will not name nor quote for fear of starting a dreaded quote mountain cascade. But that is one of my favorite ads from the ancient 1990’s.
I absolutely LOVED this commercial. Liiiife Saverrrrrs, Yummmmmmmmmm! And that link to Lion King was too funny (and true!)
the spearmint rings (green ones) glow for a brief moment in the dark when crushed.
A phenomenon known as triboluminescence.
I thought the one with the falling fruit flavors were much more yuuuummmmmmmmm
strawberry watermellon…
Don’t forget they also did the cream saver’s lifesavers. now that was a GREAT lifesavers commercial.
