That coffee goes great with the vinyl covered kitchen chairs! Gag.

I'm seeing David Byrne when he comes through town in three weeks.

It should be great.

He puts on a great show. I saw him circa 2000, or whenever he came out with that great Brazilian disc.

I always liked that percolated coffee commercial for Maxwell House coffee. It had a catchy tune.

I'm 99% certain that is the creation of the genius composer and inventor Raymond Scott. Off-topic for 1970s, but before there was David Byrne or disco, there was Raymond Scott. The guy created synthesizers before Moog. His most famous work is "Powerhouse" which you would recognize from Warner Brothers cartoons and a zillion commercials (and a Rush song) as soon as you hear a few seconds.

Thanks! :D
In this particular clip, I would change "a few seconds" to: you'll recognize it at the 1-minute mark.

Xan's clip is Looney Tunes.
