Ethel Merman Commercial for VEL- Dishwashing Soap

Props, OP

That is hilarious! Great find.

The USPS used Ethel to introduce Americans to using zip codes.

I hope it was Sondheim himself who adapted those lyrics.

"Vel for hands, cause your man /Likes your hands to feel soft, just like roses"

It's so bad, it's good.

"In 2002, the Vel brand was retired, but it survives on the Danish market."

Lucky Danes, with hands so soft like roses.

Rune fan!^^

I got a fresh rose scent for ya!

VEL is for little homosexual boys.

this is so good it's almost bad

[quote] Rune fan!^^ —Does he use it on his legz?

Does he use it in conjunction with his makeup? What brand of makeup does he use?

^ creepy

Not sure R9 has to do with this thread, but it does show that Cindy was just never on the same level as Mary.

I prefer...

Vel keeps her hands soft as roses when the ole dyke is fingering Jackie Susann's pussy..

Is this when we have the Merm-a-thon?

I heard she gave Ernie Borgnine regular Vel enemas.

I can't listen to that voice without viscerally cringing. It very well could be my ears. But I can't even watch the clip.

Laurents and Sondheim must’ve shit themselves when they saw this.

She rewrote the lyrics herself. She loved Vel!

A bold Jo Anne...

‘Like Gang Busters!’
