"...could ya get one of your pals to come along for a date for Patrice? She's no Marilyn Monroe, but she really can hum, if ya know what I mean..." Many Thanks to Unexplained Cinema
Yes, you are definitely aging yourself if you recognize what this is. Back in the days of broadcast TV, you hated to see this test pattern/notice screen appear on your set. It means you were missing part of your program while the boys at the station house frantically worked to resolve the problem.
The Glenniston family was a gloomy lot til Rock Botticelli knocked on their door. The independently wealthy young man rolled in one of his multi-thousand dollar juke boxes loaded with all the latest rock and roll hits, and set it for unlimited free play. The foursome perked up and began to move and groove with the music. Rock had done his good deed for the day so he had a beer at Barlebys and drove with Peaches to lover's lane. Life was good.
I haven't posted any of those wonderful drive-in intermission ads in awhile so here's one for ya. This one has several major sequences, but the one to watch for is the second one, which has an awesome harpsichord component. It's one of my most favorite refreshment commercials.
