Night Moves

I woke up at 3 a.m. with the jingle from the old Holsum Bread commercial running at full ear worm through my skull:

The Holsum Bread Song

At three in the morning
When you're in bed
The Holsum bakers
Are baking bread

And that is the reason
It tastes so good
Like oven baked Holsum Bread should

H O L S U M
H O L S U M
H O L S U M
Holsum Bread 

If you grew up in Chicago, you won't get that little number out of your head for days. I blame Mike, who drove me right by the Holsum outlet on Milwaukee New Years Day and teased up that morsel of nostalgia from the back of my psyche.  Consider yourself lucky that I couldn't find it on Youtube.

Yes! I grew up in Chi Town and I think that Jingle is the one I sing and remember most. I, too, was looking for it on YouTube and found a bunch of other HOLSUM BREAD SONGS but Not the "3 IN THE MORNING" one. I was tickled when I found this. THANKS A BUNCH.
