1960s Norelco santa ad
"Floating heads, floating heads, . . .' I'm telling my son about the song in this old Norelco TV commercial. He doesn't believe me, so I go looking for it, and . . . bupkiss. Seems I am not the only one to remember it, but so far, no cigar. The ads I've seen look similar, Santa gliding over the snow on a sleigh made from the business end of a Norelco razor, and the tune sounds the same, but none of them use "floating heads" in the lyrics.
I tried to find someone at Norelco I could ask about this, but Norelco belongs to Philips these days and Philips, well, there is something wrong with Philips.
I was a little girl but I clearly remember the "floating heads" song in the commercial. I have looked everywhere and cannot find a copy of it anywhere on the internet.
ReplyDeleteOne more reason to hate Philips.

ReplyDeleteI remember this commercial as well from the 1950's and the song was sung to the tune of Jingle Bells and began, "floating heads, floating heads". I am trying to post this to my high school class face book group. I found a post that said this was a myth but I definitely remember this
Floating heads, floating heads. Floating all the way. Norelco is the shaving gift to give on Christmas Day!
DeleteThat’s it!
