Remember When
Quote: rxwineThey used to sell big open wooden boxes of live "peeps" otherwise known as chicks. All that peeping. They may still do that in smaller country towns during Easter.

A number of stores do. Many local rural feed & seed dealers, Tractor Supply, Rural King... etc. I see the signs out front, "We have chicks".
As far as I know, Easter just often happens to coincide with when the agriculturists find it useful to get young chicks for the upcoming growing season. (The large commercial operations raise new flocks year round, in spite of the seasons.)

I still can't convince Ashly that the grandparents don't actually want pictures of the kids on the bunny's lap. I'm choosing my battles.
You are a wise man. A man is not allowed to imply anything negative about the grandkids.

It gave a pretty thorough analysis! The summary: It's the sound of optimism as interior design — a world where every surface is clean, every problem is manageable, and the vibraphone tells you everything is going to be fine.
Here's an example song:

Now that IS scary. I’d love to show that to my parents. If they were alive.

I heard that exact type of music constantly in TV commercials in the late 1950s and very early 1960s. Things like car commercials and large appliance commercials, like refrigerators, washers, and dryers. It makes you feel like by spending the big money on these things, your life will be very happy. You envy people who had these things, because their life must be truly glorious.

It's also cheap and easy to write and record. So you have half a dozen guys in a studio with their instruments, making tapes of stuff like that and an ad agency can buy the tape and its rights and take whatever part of it and do a voiceover. It can't drown out or distract from the message, like something heavily orchestrated or dramatic would. It reminds me of the way a comedian or beat poet might have a bass accompanist, gently plucking, to give him some rhythm to his delivery, maybe he'll break into song or a little Sprechstimme as well.
Now here's one- remember the KLM Airline commercial and that delightful tune they played? Did you know that was really a song, with a name? It was actually the theme music from a Dutch detective show. Here it is!

Sounds like a lot of the Budweiser commercials we heard in the 70s and 80s featuring the Clydesdales.

It is so lifelike and real. Song is really good too, and it was written by the creator of the video. You have to watch it several times to spot everybody that's in this. No Superman, though, which was my favorite show in the 50s. And no Tonto with the Lone Ranger. Pretty realistic James Dean getting into the car that killed him. Tuesday Weld is so sexy. We all had such a crush on her. Marilyn shows up three times, but come on. She was the 1950s.

According to my independent research agency (=me) music was made in SUNO. Video was made with possible 3 different Ai platforms. Of course, someone has to know at least a little about what they are doing. Making an extended video from prompts isn't completely without frustrations if you want total coherence throughout,
It's getting easier and easier though. "Artistic" achievement still isn't a given. Still the X factor. Thousands of Ai video online and still produce a lot no one will ever care much about.
