Now Look Here. . .

Some years ago a fellow in this town began singing a song which started:

Jesus Christ is very nice, but I like Oreo.

He dissolved into laughter and the session moved on. I have occasionaly
asked about it, but either people have never heard it or they refuse to
sing it. What's going on?

Anyone know this?

Hundreds of years ago there was a TV jingle for Oreo (tm) cookies
which went, in part, something like

Little girls have pretty curls
But I like Oreos.
Oreo's the best because
It's the very best cookie ever was.
Girls are nice but oh what ic-
ing comes with Oreos.

The JC version is new to me.

Then there's also Diane Zeigler's "Jack's Belted Galloways",
with the chorus:

And these cows look like oreo cookies,
But you know they're much bigger than that
They stand full black with a stripe round their backs
The pride of a keeper named Jack.

OK, Gerry...now for the lounge suite, the trip to Bermuda, AND a $50 gift
certificate from the Spiegel Catalog, can you sing the Oscar Mayer jingle?? <g>

with Stevie Ray Vaughan on the Lonnie Mack Album "Strike Like Lightning".
