I just located this music, been looking for years. It is production library music by the KPM library. Album is KPM 1145 Jingles (1974) track is Jingle 5 by Steve Gray. Lots of other pieces by Gray and others that match this style on the album. Posting this for those like me who have been searching for this music for so long.

I came back from 7 years in the future to thank you, hero!

I always liked the beginning with the sound affects with the pictures. The ship was my favorite.

[@garonyoung4254]

Love the jazz music so soothing.

[@YokozunaNumber1]

The video's quality was really clear and modern for its time. It's aged well.

That's because I don't think it's actually from 1980, more like 1989. We had a tape of MTV from 1989 that I watched a lot in the '90s and this commercial was on the tape. Of course, some commercials back then aired for many years, but I suspect that whoever uploaded this just guessed that it's from sometime in the 1980s and maybe meant to write "1980s". Then again, maybe I can buy that it's from 1980 since the music is from 1974, KPM - Jingle 5.

MAN memories sitting at my grandma"s house watching saturday morning cartoons :)

[@Night-Mayor]

I remember this exact commercial used to play on channel 52 KBSC in Los Angeles during cartoons and Doctor Who. when I heard this music again it brought back a flood of memories of that time when I used to watch cartoons while doing homework.

[@LOLO-jj2by]

LoL, I actually found this ad in a magazine in the 1980s drew the sketch a representative came to our house for the school and signed me up for art classes. I drew assignments and mailed them in weekly until my mother said we could not afford them anymore. It was fun tho Still drawing today!

[@RickNuthman]

I don't remember this one.. I remember one where he say something like "do you like to draw? Or just sketch and doodle?" I sent so many of these in as a kid.. never heard anything back. Lol. I guess their experts decided that I sucked.😂

[@garonfilms]

Music had no reason being so chilled but it was soothing.

[@Arctic_Falcon]

R.I.P. Paul Phillips.

[@swes9598]

Nostalgic. I remember that funny little "art test", too. 😁😅😅

[@bbofun]

The music (particularly the beginning) sounds A LOT like the theme from the TV show TAXI.

[@OPTIONALWATCH]

You know, I was looking for this commercial to reminisce about those times and my google search keywords were "Art Drawing commercial with Angela theme song from Taxi in 1980's. I first saw this commercial in 1982 when we first got cable TV in Panama, City, Panama.

[@boobamc]

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

This was a scam before scams were a thing.
