In fact, you can buy one today tomorrow & Thursday.

Probably the most famous Contra Bass Balalaika in R&R history.

In the late 50s & 60s my little brother always wore a flat top. His hair goop of choice was Brylcreem.

Never saw that one. I've always had curly hair that was longer than normal so I never used any of that stuff.

I won one as a prize on my paper route. The commercial has been seared into my brain since 1965.

Question for the other old farts in this thread: I have a distinct memory of a couple of kids in the neighborhood having these little cars with fuel burning motors in them. They were loud and fast as hell, but I don't think they could be controlled other than "point and watch". The fuel smelled like rocket fuel and came in metal cans. Any idea what these might have been? I bet they morphed into the radio controlled cars that are popular today.
