Great Pretender

Oldies sang by The Platters

Thank you my friend Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen for posting cringeworthy ads from the past.

I expect if people who were in their 40s in the 1950's saw ads this century they would be shocked out of their bobby socks :-)
This deserves a couple songs to put into perspective IMHO :-)
