COLGATE DENTAL CREAM

[@ashvegas1018]

My papaw used to sing this song to me all the time as a kid. I miss him so much :(

My Dad Hal Gerhardt was the graphic artist/art director for the ad agency that made these Colgate commercials. He drew Happy Tooth and Mr Tooth Decay. This video is a lost piece of my family history since these were done live. Thanks so much for posting this.

Ted Bates represented Colgate at the time.

Your father's drawings of "Happy Tooth" and "Mr. Tooth Decay" were also used in several filmed commercials in 1955 and '56. Here's one of them, as seen on "MIGHTY MOUSE PLAYHOUSE": kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKCtkmyAfb6gqM0

"Bison Bill" frequently filled in for "Buffalo Bob" Smith while he was recuperating from his heart attack during the 1954-'55 season....Bill LeCornec is the voice behind the "Colgate" tube.

Wow, those kids are LOUD. They’re screaming more than singing. Haha!
