1970s song stays catchy with mop commercial

 


By LINDSEY KASTNING
Last updated on 01/28/2009 at 7:01 p.m.
 

“Swiffer Mop and Swiffer Sweeper Vac do it all...” including bringing back the 1970s hit “Baby Come Back.”

Who knew that a commercial about a mop could be so entertaining? With over eight different commercials for the Sweeper Vac, Swiffer is able to captivate audiences each time with silly antics and a catchy song. And the voices behind the tune?

In 1978, Player released its self-titled first album which included an upbeat one-hit wonder, “Baby Come Back.” The song quickly rose to number one on the pop singles charts, and the record went gold.

When singer Peter Beckett first formed Player, he probably had no idea that years after the band’s last concert tours this song would make such a great comeback. Swiffer has taken the song and revamped it to be sung by mariachi player mops and brooms in order to sell their product in a creatively fun way.

So, what happens when a one-hit wonder and a moping mop combine? One extremely funny commercial.

Two long-time out of print albums Think Out Loud - S/T, Clif Magness - Solo are reissued!

July 18, 2009

A newly founded label based in Munich Germany, YESTERROCK started to reissue records that either haven’t been available for years or previously only released on vinyl but not on CD yet. The label gains essential support in the search for these hidden treasures from both UNIVERSAL and SONY amongst others. Various independent label’s and artist’s contributions also help that CD’s now can be released which lately - in particular cases - only have been available in used and overpriced status on common internet platforms such as Amazon and Ebay. On June 24, 2009, two noteworthy albums have been reissued.

One is "Think Out Loud - s/t" and the other is " Clif Magness -Solo".

Think Out Loud

"Think Out Loud" are a studio project featuring singer Peter Beckett best known for his group Player and Steve Kipner also known for his great solo album "Knock The Walls Down". They released the self-titled album in 1988 for A&M Records, with the remarkable additional musicians including Steve Lukather, Randy Goodrum, Tris Imboden, Bob Marlette and Michael Landau. Beckett and Kipner shared lead vocals through out the album and the album should be one of the best AOR works done in late 80's.

There's not any releases as "Think Out Loud" before 1997. It was really surprising incident that MTM Records, Germany convinced Peter and Steve to produce a follow-up album and "Shelf Life" was released, which featured eleven brilliant songs including the original version of "Invisible Man" performed by 98 Degrees, which ranked on number 12 Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart dated September 27, 1997.
