Anyone Wanna Go Automobubbling With Me? [Just Follow The Bouncing Ball]

So I was doing a little YouTube research today to supplement a post I was planning to write on sing alongs* when I found this fantastic Oldsmobile follow-the-bouncing-ball sing along advertisement from 1931.

In honor of my Oldsmobile, Heyzeus, who is in the shop today because his "Check Engine Soon" light has mysteriously come on (get better soon baby!--and please do it cheaply!) I've decided to dedicate the entire post to the wonders of this nearly 7-minute commercial "In My Merry Oldsmobile."

And for those of you who think advertising has only become sexual and depraved in the most recent decades, I'd like to mention that this commercial features Peeping Toms, stripping, anthropomorphic sexual harassment, female butt enhancement, breaking and entering, sexual assault with a pair of dentures... oh, and the mysteriously naughty term: "Automobubbling"**

Just check out the lyrics to the song [wtf emphasis all mine]:

Young Johnnie Steele has an Oldsmobile
He loves a dear little girl
She is the queen of his gas machine
She has his heart in a whirl
Now when they go for a spin, you know
She tries to learn the auto, so
He lets her steer while he gets her ear,
And whispers soft and low:
Come away with me Lucile,
In my merry Oldsmobile,
Down the road of life we’ll fly,
Automobubbling, you and I.
To the church we’ll swiftly steal,
Then our wedding bells will peal,
You can go as far as you like
With me in my merry Oldsmobile. [That's how you reach 5th base my friends.]



Who knew "I have an Oldsmobile" was the ultimate pick-up line? I'll have to try it out and report back on the "outcome" of my "research." *WINK*

*Teaser alert! You'll have to tune in tomorrow to see what sing along has got me so excited!!!

**One of my favorite driving memories ever was when a group of friends and I caught a couple "Automobubbling" down 84. We chased them down so we could give them the thumbs up as we passed them. Yeah, we're a supportive bunch.
