    Default Solved: Guys Watch the Girls

    Well I have googled my little fingers off but I can't find any reference to a song I remember from a 1960's era TV commercial (Pepsi?). The lyrics were something like:

    The guys watch the girls
    as the girls watch the guys
    as the girls go by
    my oh my

    Does anyone else remember the commercial?
    Them that can, do; them that can't... memorize Artist and Title

    Hi Atmaster

    Do you mean this one maybe?

    Music To Watch Girls By - Andy Williams
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKdOotrQ_Hw

    The boys watch the girls while the girls watch the boys who watch the girls go by
    Eye to eye, they solemnly convene to make the scene
    Which is the name of the game, watch a guy watch a dame on any street in town
    Up and down and over and across, romance is boss
    Its nice to be important, but its more important to be nice
    Y Ddraig Goch ddyry gychwyn

    From Wiki...

    "Crewe himself (recording as The Bob Crewe Generation) released the 1967 instrumental single "Music to Watch Girls By" (originally composed as a Diet Pepsi commercial jingle) on DynoVoice. It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc.[1]"

    Thank you!
    Mumbles, That is definitely the song (I was hung up on the lyrics being "guys" instead of "boys"). I was beginning to think it was time to start thinking about the retirement home for old Moderators.

    Dan, The commercial that is burned into these old grey cells is a Diet Pepsi commercial with beach scenes and bikinis but this will do.

    Mystery solved!
