Wherever you go at Texaco, trust is a must we know....especially with Ethel.
Meanwhile....the Mother has landed at the Casa du Borghese and coincidently showed up with much the same fan fair.....
LIVE! LIVE! Life is a banquet, and some sorry sons of bitches are starving!
Poor Carlos, for I'll be doing Merman for the rest of the night!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your visit with Mother!!
We will need a video of that!!!!
DeleteThe man with the star...
ReplyDeleteHahaha
ReplyDeleteHave fun!
Say hi to your mum for us!
XOXO
Blast from the past...hard to imagine that kind of ad being produced now!!! Enjoy the visit!
ReplyDeleteMy Mama loved Ethel Merman! LOL Thanks for the memory, sugar! Enjoy your visit and now I have the Texaco jingle as an ear worm to ease me into slumber! ;) xoxo
ReplyDeleteI did too really...but I think it's because she reminded me of my grandmother.
DeleteOh i adored Ethel Merman...and I sadly remember that jingle. But that was a delight to see again.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder self-serve is cheaper.
ReplyDeleteThe comment of the day!!!!!!!!
DeleteLet's hope that it won't be long before we have her singing with her trademark gusto "Everything's coming up ROSE-ESS".
ReplyDeleteLooks like it started below......
DeleteYou just don't get talent like that any more... Jx
ReplyDeletedamn str8 (or gay)! girl had THAT VOICE!
DeleteOr hair.
DeleteSo we know where you get your flash and style! It’s in the genes.
ReplyDeleteSay a special "Hello" to your mother from me.
ReplyDeleteDon't know if you've seen the UK news and all the trouble about the restrictions placed on Manchester but a local queen called Misty Chance has had a say. She's great!
Hope all is well with you and buster. Xx
Hang in there Christina. I hope you doing alright and your family???
DeleteI will have to see if i can find an article.....
I played this for Warrior Queen before she finished her Happy Juice. The ad did not convince us to seek out a Texaco outlet.
ReplyDeleteYou didnt?!?!?!?!? You really do like to live dangerously don't you?
DeleteHi Mom! Great way to arrive, we know where he got his style from.
ReplyDeletesweet mother of pearl! THAT VOICE before 7a (and before I've even had my cawfee) is enough to wake the dead! ya can't deny her talent though.
ReplyDeleteYO to yo mama!
Todd's comment cracked me up.
DeleteAs George Takei would say: Oh my.
ReplyDelete🎶🎵🎶 Oh...itll be swell,
ReplyDeleteit'll be great,
You'll have the whole on a plate,
Starting then, starting now,
Evvveerrrything is coooooomming up ROSES!!🎵🎶🎵
Uh, oh. Somebody's been triggered!
DeleteIf she arrived like that...and did an act with the houseboys, that must have the neighborhood talking?
ReplyDeleteIt was far worst then the fourth of july parade.
DeleteJesus Joseph and Mary......I think that woman's voice just woke the whole fucking internet.
ReplyDeleteOh, dear. Ethel. She was such an iron horse. You never wanted to get on her bad side! I thought her terrifying. And her disco album!!!! A friend of mine had it and would play it while we got ready to go to the bars. It was amazingly wonderfully awful. I wish I still had a copy. This may have been the scariest thing I have seen this month! Thanks for the Halloween terror! Kizzes.
ReplyDeleteI love the Ethel Merman Disco Album! Jx
DeleteShe reminds me very much of a dearly departed grandmother. And both had huge hair.
DeleteEnjoy her visit!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I remember that commercial. Good old Ethel - initially hired only because that booming voice could hit the back row the theatre. She fooled them all and became a star.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the time with your mom!
Hell, they heard her in the next town.
DeleteThat voice has always sounded (to me anyway) like a bunch of cats yowling in tune after getting their tails stomped on! I'd be a lousy stereotypical gay man :) Enjoy your mom's visit.
ReplyDeleteYet I can't stand most musicals. In some ways im a bad gay....never a huge fan of judy, Liza, Patti Lupone or Bags.
DeleteGasp, Mads... you can't stand Musicals or Liza... Bad Gay! *winks* I'd make a lousy Gay as I can't stand Musicals or Liza either.
DeleteLet's not knock Mothers; if it weren't for them I would be out of a job.
ReplyDeleteYour the saint and savior of much "mother undoing"
Deleteto see more of ethel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgqnVQV-LcY
ReplyDeleteLMAO at The Mother's Ethelesque Fanfare... still Imagining how that looked and sounded and LMAO. I can be a bit over-the-top like that... the Spawn would say MORE than a bit... but then, you knew that, Right?
ReplyDeleteWell, if your going to make an entrance, make an entrance right?
DeleteHopefully Mom is enjoying her visit. Sadly, we don't have Texaco anymore in California. I visit Chevron stations, but my gas card has the Texaco star on it.
ReplyDeleteActually, I don't think we do either anymore.
