Great commercials: Another in a series
-->
Tarako is a cod roe-flavoured pasta sauce made by a company called Kewpie, hence the doll-faced Mentaiko (sausage-shaped spiced cod roe). The eery jingle goes like this:
Tarako, tarako,Yes, indeed, they are coming...Tappuri tarako (lots of Tarako)
Tarako, tarako, tappuri tarako ga yatte kuru (lots of Tarako are coming)
As if this jingle isn't ALREADY burned into your brain, here's an extended 4-minute piece starring the two celebrity spokespersons for Tarako:
Damn you to hell for that. Now it's going to be stuck in my head all day.
..and Cod-roe flavored pasta???
I guess monkey-gonad flavored was taken already...
Cod-roe flavored pasta sauce. Like that would make a difference. Feh.
As for the jingle -- I tried to warn you!
Jeez.
Those marching babies are the stuff of nightmares.
You know, I've been having trouble for about a month with flashplayer on my new laptop.
There's some kind of glitch with the updated version that got installed, although my kid's machine works fine.
Just today, I got the thing to partially work -- but no sound.
Maybe there is a god.
just don't go near the kids' machine.
