It's That Shirt

As a fan of the funky jazz techno group, I was chuffed to find this, the That Shirt commercial from 1971, along with others from that time, as sampled in the Brainwashed This Way/Zombie/That Shirt track from Meat Beat Manifesto. All a little before my time, but they're a good indicator of what my experience of growing up in the 70s was like. Richard Burton growling about shirts, DJ Jimmy Saville telling us to Clunk-Click every trip, and sexy secretaries in round-the-clock tights. And who could resist wearing a tie that comes in both terylene and crimplene?

Ah yes, the brown 70s of my youth. Just wanted to remind you all why I'm more fond of the California truckin' 70s than the real one I actually lived through. Shudder!
