Guys,

Can't find anything on the net, and those who I mention this to only vaguely remember it (I know, it sounds spookily like "X"'s time/space shifting thingy).

So, 1980's commercial, it is for a shipping company (think FedEx, UPS, etc), it is based on Dolly Parton's "9 to 5" song, and, she, I believe, actually starred in and sang in the commercial.

Here are some of the lines from the commercial jingle that are forever stuck in my brain.

"[insert carrier name] gets you there from California to Pasadena"
"From the biggest to the smallest its as good as there just call us"

Can anyone remember the shipping company and/or the rest of the jingle?

If someone has a link to commercial, please post it... :cheers:

Only help I can think of is that in the 80's FedEx was still called Federal Express so adjust your searches accordingly.

Thanks for looking John, but it is not in there...for some reason I remember big boobs in the commercial and that made me think Dolly starred in it. It just came to me while sitting at my desk...Emery.

Looks like Emery paid for the song rights and used it for at least 3 different versions of the commercial. Here is a link to the one I most remember ...check them all out, they are bound to put a smile on your face.
