May have been local to Oregon... Not sure who the company was..
Commercial was of the famous old footage of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge (aka "Gallopin Gertie"), sped up to a hilarious speed so the bridge is truly bouncing...
Set to Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song, the rhythm of that riff went perfectly with the bouncing bridge. It was meant to be funny, and as a kid I was intrigued by the bridge AND this incredible music.
After my family first saw this commercial, my dad went over to the record player and put on a Zepp album... And that was my leap as a kid from beach boys/MJ/Raffy to serious music 🎶
Where is that commercial??
I'm selling a very cheap Gurdy I got two years ago from "Gallopin' Gurdy" on eBay. Obviously it's not a great instrument, the construction is mostly plywood I believe and I couldn't get it to sound all that good, but it's in the same condition as when I bought it. I bought it for around $250 and it'd be nice to get $150 or so back on it, although I'll listen to offers. You can find it here http://ebay.us/1hvxci?cmpnId=5338273189
I've been looking at these hurdy gurdies by gallopin' gurdies on ebay for $250. They are diatonic with 12 keys, but you can adjust the tangents to any tuning.
Wasn't Bak apparently out due to injury (I think we couldn't select him there)?
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
The nurse asked the rabbit, “what is your blood type?”
“I am probably a type O” said the rabbit.
The doctor says it terminal.
Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
