I remember being a little kid in the 60's, watching Cal ride his dog "Spot", which was usually and elephant or a tiger...

You will now be humming the song all day.......
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.

Sorry Arto but when you're dealing with a celebrity who beat his wife in divorce court (she was 51 years his junior) , ya gotta go local

When I moved from NYC to LA in 1990 I saw my 1st Cal commercial saying how anyone could buy a car...they turned me down :oops:

I saw the commercials so many times growing up I don't even need to see the you tube video. I'm already singing that song. Growing up in L.A. this guy was part of your childhood.

Cal opened a dealership in N. San Diego County a long time ago, so the song popped into my head the second I read the title.
