Trivia Time - Who knows Dolly Parton Best?

[Typefighter01]

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...

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.

Can't wait to see how you integrate this into your latest project.

From KLOV:

It was controversial due to the controls being perceived as pink rubber bulges that were meant to represent breasts and were squeezed in order to control the action.

Say what?

This immediately brings to mind a certain Robot Chicken episode.

I distinctly remember in my controls.dat days debating over if I should add "boobies" as a controller type.

Please tell me you were arguing for the affirmative...

[Howard_Casto]

Nah... only one cab used it.  We eventually made a rule that 5-10 machines have to use the controller to add it to the control type.  Thus why the "finger in butthole" controls weren't added either.  Man Japan has problems.

There were so few? I thought for sure Japan would have more....

I think the game in question had a couple revisions, so you aren't far from it.  Like I said, Japan has problems.

Yeah, but. BOOBIES!

I have a great idea for an adult arcade game: How about a human-like full size female naked doll filled with for example air and to which you can have an intercourse with??? The only problem I see is where to insert coins.

Would there not be a slot?

You know, back in the 90s, I read about the "first documented case of HIV transmission from a shared sex doll" and my first thought was, "or they just had sex with each other and lied about it."

Still, though, shared sex doll AIDS is real.  Protect yourself.
