Gillette Commercial (1950's)





Sharpie the Parrot - Reminiscent of the Jose Carioca parrot from the Disney Brazil Production, the Gillette Safety Razor Co. parrot hawked the Gillette Blue Blade razors during the 1950s over the repetitive jingles (by Scott-Textor's vocalist) of "How are ya fixed for blades?" and "Look Sharp! Feel Sharp! Be Sharp! Sharpie debuted in 1952 on the first World Series broadcast.

Sharpie originally appeared as a white-lined animated figure superimposed over black background and over the scenes of sports activities. Later, the line drawing was turned into fully animated 60-second commercials.

Sharpie also advertised boxing and other sporting events until 1960. The Sharpie the Parrot "How'r 'Ya Fixed?" advertising campaign was created by the Maxon, Inc., Agency.

The Muffs - You And Your Parrot


You and your parrot
Walk around like you're demigods
You and your parrot
When you're together I'm all alone
I am all alone (yeah)

Forget about it
You get together and laugh at me
Forget about it
Gossiping on the telephone I am all alone

Will anybody take a chance for me today?
We'll throw them in a well and
Laugh and watch them float away

Will anybody take a chance for me today?
We'll throw them in the ocean
Laugh and watch them float away

Now I'm gonna be all alone
Now I'm gonna be all alone
I am all alone
