Tooth Tunes Music Toothbrushes - From Fad to Forgotten (Late 2000s)

Musical toothbrushes that played all your favorite pop hits, then faded away into obscurity over the years.

[@Blockyboxguy]

I had a “We Will Rock You” Tooth Tunes toothbrush that I would use every night, no joke I’m pretty sure now I have some kind of permanent subconscious association. It’s been like 15 years and that song still plays in my mind every single time I brush my teeth and I wish I was lying

[@thearea51raidwasboring]

Haha, I had the same one. I can never forget that song.

[@kittykittybangbang9367]

I remember seeing that one

[@firebrony101]

That's what psychologists call "conditioning" my friend.

[@slinkolity8101]

subliminal messaging

[@puchipuchi808]

My sister had a One Direction one that played " that's what you makes you beautiful ". She still has it for memories but it doesn't work anymore lmao

[@teamboobooseth1]

I remember seeing commercials for these all the time. Always wanted one, but there were never ones that had may I I liked.

[@VirtualKermrade]

I felt the same, but I got a lemonade mouth one as even though I didn’t like the song I just liked the concept of it.

[@teamboobooseth1]

@@VirtualKermrade if I had known there was a lemonade mouth one as a kid, I would’ve begged my parents to get one. I didn’t realize there were DCOM ones until this video.

This is actually brilliant. I hope the guy who pitched the idea got a promotion or at least a raise.

[@WeegeeSlayer123]

Me and my sister had tooth toons. What I didn't like about them is that you had to keep them pressed against your teeth, or the song would restart. So naturally when you're switching from brushing your lower teeth to your upper teeth, you end up hearing the beginning of the song over and over again.

[@spiderplant]

They really should have used the song to help govern the amount of time spent brushing

Nah, that'd be iZ. Remember iZ? You probably don't remember the toy, but you might remember the cartoon.

[@SnailQueenForever]

In elementary school, we used to anonymous gift exchange for the holiday season. A kid in my class, who had braces, was given a Tooth ToothToon. A few days later, he said his mom threw it out because the vibrations of the music with his braces made his teeth get semi-shocked, and his mom thought they were dangerous.

[@sonic23233]

That's not possible

[@SnailQueenForever]

@@sonic23233 It isn't? I never really questioned it because I never owned a ToothToon

[@andykishore]

@@SnailQueenForever I never questioned what it's like to combine ToothToon and braces with each other. Luckily I don't have braces.

[@ChikoCheez]

These things helped encourage me to brush my teeth more. I had a Lion King one as a kid that played Hakuna Matata and I loved hearing it to get me energized in the morning before school. Helped me get brushing my teeth in the routine better.

[@UnknownFlyingPancake]

Encouraging pressing as hard as possible on the toothbrush is actually dangerous as pressing too hard can damage your teeth.

[@sticklyboi]

yo i remember these, i had the kiss one and all it did was make me get sick of "i wanna rock and roll all night" real fuckin quick

[@sticklyboi]

hang on, they said that one came out in 2014? thats bullshit, i graduated high school in 2014, i had that WAY earlier, like when i was ten were release dates different between america and australia? somethings off and its not my memory

[@sophiehanssel2017]

I remember these! Never owned one but LOVED the commercial! They also made a Queen one that played "We Will Rock You".

[@papa-tello8403]

Cool

[@ninjapistol14]

I had that one. Every single time I brushed my teeth I heard that. I have still hated that song ever since as well as that stupid guitar solo

[@sophiehanssel2017]

@@ninjapistol14 TBH I used to hate it too

[@Lewisiaisoutofcontext]

I had a Disney toothbrush when I was a kid that would play music as you brushed. I have no idea what song it was, it wasn't from any movie I had seen and it was actually kind of creepy. Anyway, eventually something happened to it that caused the music to become more and more distorted, just piling on the creepy factor to the point of me crying and refusing to brush my teeth because I was so scared of it. So much for making your child enjoy toothbrushing lol.

[@andykishore]

Yeah, that's a known issue with the electrical toothbrushes. They just kind of stop working after a while.

[@SlightlyCreative]

Yes! More From Fad To Forgotten! I was hoping we'd get more of this

[@slimcognito383]

As a kid the idea of tooth tunes scared me out I was afraid of getting the song stuck in my head

[@tractorman287]

The Wikipedia list you had was actually missing a few. It did not list Star Wars or the Indiana jones tooth tune. The Star Wars toothtune actually had a unique tune at the end that was not apart of the original John Williams composition. I honestly hadn't thought about tooth tunes since 2008 before your video. Great video btw!

[@neonthunder3261]

wow what

[@lipgloss-and-cigarettes]

I remember the Star Wars one! I had a green lightsaber that had yoda themed sounds

[@VancesMediaTreasures]

The ending tune of the Star Wars brush was the last few seconds of the end credits music from a New Hope that was (rather abruptly from the video of the brush I watched) spliced in.

[@ragnell8885]

Oh yeah, I remember seeing these at JC Pennys (or was it Kohls?) circa 2010. I vividly remember seeing All-Star by Smash Mouth being one of the ones featured in a sea of late 2009 pop songs included with the brushes. Even though I was quite a bit beyond the target demographic age when I saw it, I remember being really intrigued by how it worked. And even back then, All-Star had its early meme phase solidified so I briefly thought about getting it for a split second. But I just shook my head and walked away. Had I known about how the song technology worked, I might have gotten it just to see how it did in action. I too actually thought it just had a mini speaker on the bottom. I’m kinda sad these didn’t take off with kids (or at least stay ongoing these days). I’d probably be all over these if they were around in my elementary school days.

[@ZeepTheWocky]

Damn bro, you just unlocked a memory I forgot about.

[@noireisbest6786]

I was definitely too old for this when this came out, but the way the company explains how their brush works would explain why eating certain snacks with headphones on made it kinda hard to hear your music or whatever audio you was listening to.

[@ObjoGaming]

I remember I had one of these that played the Indiana Jones theme, but I didn't see that one on the Wikipedia article you showed. I remember using it until the bristles were worn down to essentially nothing. I love that there's a Tooth Tunes community online. Who would have thought?

[@NinStarRune]

Look at this guy whose parents couldn't cook vegetables to make them delicious.

[@annaisntcool]

to be fair tho when we’re kids we’re pickier and we tend to grow into liking certain delicious foods (like veggies!) with age.

[@kittykittybangbang9367]

I actually like vegetables, just no all of them.

[@jtwc10]

I had once owned a Transformers tooth tunes when i was little (It plays an extended remix of the Transformers: Cybertron theme song". Later on, I got the early "Rock and Roll All Nite by KISS" one, which became my 2 favorite tooth tunes toothbrushes back then. Anyone remember a certain tooth tunes brush that you may have either owned or saw?

[@GlitchyJames]

Never in my life did I think I would watch a video about tooth brushes I am not disappointed

[@WhimsicalLittledawg]

Woah, I must've not been a normal little kid. I love vegetables, I brushed my teeth on my own, and I went to bed at the right time. The only thing I did was play games when I was supposed to be asleep.

[@aubreyh1930]

Vegetables can be good if they’re cooked right. Ig your parents found a way that you liked

[@WhimsicalLittledawg]

There was also the Sound Bites lollipop in the late 90's that played music you could only hear if you were biting it. I loved that thing.

[@meredithwyrick7916]

OMG I REMEMBER THESE COMMERCIALS unlocked a memory I completely forgot

[@ColeWalker]

I legit used to think these somehow played music inside your head because of the commercials.

[@Tonyseil]

My gosh I always seen commercials for these as a kid, Never had one but they were cool for the time haha.

[@emirvmendoza]

That Devo cover being found (not lost) media is the best thing ever

[@TyIsreal]

I know I had Jessie Mc Cartneys Beautiful Soul at one point, and I'm pretty sure the other one I had was walking on sunshine by Ally and AJ, haha. They should bring these back, though now there would probably be mostly TikTok songs on them, haha. Maybe they'd have a way to add songs yourself, though.

[@katesicle]

Those songs you said were “niche” were not at all niche at the time, even if they were “one hit wonders.” Great video! My cousins had these when they were kids - I was already in college at the time, though having one of these might have been better for my oral health at the time honestly Also lol modding a toothbrush

[@EnigmaBarry]

I had vague memories of a "I wanna rock and roll toy commercial". Talk about a blast from the past.

[@SpinelFan64]

I had the One Direction "What Makes You Beautiful" Tooth Tunes back in 2013! My little brother had one that sung the ABCs.

[@mikethetowns]

Ha, never seen these before buuut grew up when a similar lollipop version was around. Kinda funny goin' from sugary to dental care.

[@Providence..]

I remember seeing these commercials so much, though I never bought one, I fondly remember them. Glad these were covered, love this series.

[@saltgoatshaker8844]

I got the we will rock you one in 2015 that thing wore out quick

[@KatelynJewel]

I remember having Disney character toothbrushes during my early childhood, and they would play little instrumentals of various songs. I got several of them in my stocking for Christmas one year.

[@Dedicatedtolivinginthepast]

I need to modify one of these to have a mp3 player in it!

I remember having one for the Indiana Jones theme. It was badass

[@KingNikolai]

I used these when I was younger, they were awesome

[@FlowerCatta]

I might’ve remembered watching some commercials for that product before, but never got the chance to buy my first Tooth Tunes brush, thankfully I found my first one on my local thrift store, being a We Are Family Turbo Tooth Tunes brush, I tried to find listing to see how rare this thing is, and I’m surprised I didn’t find any listings for that song, but might be a rare collectors item for me to keep.

[@pizzweak580]

I remember seeing these commercials when I was 4, that was like 2003-2004. Latest I'd say is 2006

[@capclip9]

I remember I was shopping at Target and I was looking for a new toothbrush (I was like 4 at the time), and they had nothing, but my Dad found a KISS Rock 'N' Roll All Nite tooth tunes, it was the new version so it didn't have Paul, Gene, Ace, or Peter on it. My jaw dropped when I saw it because I already had a Queen one, but KISS was my favorite band of all time, and still is. I got home and just turned it on. I was so pissed when I learned it was just like 30 seconds of the song. But still it was so awsome.

[@gloomyxbabee]

I had one that played All Star. I was a child of culture.

[@user-vi4xy1jw7e]

Does anyone remember Sound Bites? It was a lollipop that played music with the same technology... So basically the antithesis to this. Lol

[@sarahjones7954]

I had one of these when I was a kid. I think it played Nobody's Perfect by Hannah Montana or one of those songs. Mine was broken so I just had to touch the bristles to get it to play at all

[@annaisntcool]

ahhhhh this is nostalgic. my mom got me a tooth tunes after months of me begging for one. they were kinda hard to find in my area back then so i got whatever song was in stock. let’s get it started by the black eyed peas will always remind me of dental hygiene now

[@MarioMarioPlushGUY]

I forgot these existed! I and my siblings use to have these, I had a Smash Mouth one, my brother had a Napoleon Dynamite one and my sister had a Hannah Montana one. Good memories.

[@gavinthecrafter]

Never had one of these but I saw one of the commercials back then (not late 2000s, a little later) and it's been stuck in my mind to this day

I had one of these! A green one. I forgot what song it played, but it was fun. Thank you, as always, for the awesome content. Your work brings me a lot of joy…keep it up!

[@Tvshowclipss]

Omg I loved these as a kid

[@SurfingPikachu17]

Sound Bytes were similar (I think that's what they were called) They were red lollipops that would play various songs when you put your teeth on the sucker. I'm pretty sure I had a Pikachu one :) ♡

[@Drewiker]

I had one of these that played All Star. I can't listen to that song anymore without my teeth feeling itchy. And that sucks because that song is everywhere.

[@Dragonofyarn]

I was born in 2003…. Yet I remember this. 😂 I grew up more or less sheltered so I wouldn’t have known most of the songs, but I remember always wanting to get one and I *think* I owned one? I can’t remember though

[@AnimeEnergy]

The fad to forgotten series is so great for your channel. It's a great fit

[@keijijohnson9754]

I remember always wanting one of these before back when I was a kid but for whatever reason, I never did. Had one of those Hit Clips though, but never this. Guess it was due to getting too old for that kind of stuff but honestly… I STILL wish I got one of these because I’m genuinely intrigued in seeing how well that thing worked.

[@moonbunny24]

Hot Chelle Rae and We the Kings weren't niche if you listened to Radio Disney at that time lol Tonight, Tonight and Check Yes Juliet are forever engrained in my brain from listening to Radio Disney in the early 2010s

[@elfiebranford9330]

It's really freaky how I was just thinking of these things the other night, wondering if they still made them. As a kid, I had the Napoleon Dynamite one that played Canned Heat, which I never remember seeing any ads for, so I always thought I was super cool owning it lol.

[@JackTWT]

I once had one back in 2013 that sings a song about the United States. I remember bitting toothbrushes back then. Also, you remember the toothbrushes and toothpastes where you put stickers on them?

I had one of these as a kid and the website is a lie, the sound didn't travel through your bone lol. The brush head was on a lever-type thing that started playing the music loudly whenever you applied pressure, making it play when you brushed. Just wanted to comment because I remember being ten and feeling very cheated when I discovered this, I was so excited for the cool sound-through-bone technology.
