Vicar Posted September 10, 2004 #1 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Don't ask me why this suddenly popped into my head *LOL* But I just remembered a jingle on an old HAL commercial from years ago, when I was a kid. It was to the tune of 'Lets Call the Whole Thing off' It went something like this: "You say Rotterdam, and I say Amsterdam" "You say Statendam, and I say Westerdam " "Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Statendam, Westerdam" "Lets take a Holland America Cruise" Please tell me that someone remembers this jingle and that I am not crazy *LOL* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicar Posted September 10, 2004 Author #3 Share Posted September 10, 2004 *LOL* I admit that I am crazy, i just wanted to make sure that I wasn't the only one hearing the Jingle in my head. See I hear voices , but they sound like Sir John Geilgud and Ethel Merman You try and live with Satanic Messages that are both dramatic and play to the back row *LOL* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakrewser Posted September 10, 2004 #4 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Please tell me that someone remembers this jingle and that I am not crazy *LOL*Sorry, but it sparks no memories. Of course, I was in college in the 60's and some of those experiences wiped out all previous memory. :) -dave If you can remember the 60's then you weren't there - Robin Williams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomc Posted September 10, 2004 #6 Share Posted September 10, 2004 It could well be during the time HAL was known as Holland America Cruises. I just ran across a matchbook with that name and I have one of their canvas bags with the same name on it. You say Amster And I say Rotter. You like 'Laska Carib is hotter. Prinsen, Volen, Zuider, Ooster, Let's call our TA now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slinkiecat Posted September 11, 2004 #7 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Ah yes -- I remember it well (as Maurice Chevalier would sing). You say eether, and I say it's eIther, you say neether and I say neIther... tomaytoes, tomahtoes, potaytoes, potahtoes, let's call the whole thing off.

Himself Posted September 11, 2004 #8 Share Posted September 11, 2004 VICAR: I don't remember it but in the Midwest HAL probably wasn't advertising in those days. It doesn't mean you are crazy but blessed with a good memory. By the way, whose Vicar are you? Are you an urban vicar, a parochial vicar, a rural vicar, a suburban vicar? Slainte!
