K-tel - 24 Greatest Dumb Ditties (Record Offer, 1977)

Not from a Chicago airing, but still interesting- here's a record offer commercial for the compilation 24 Greatest Dumb Ditties from K-tel (catalogue number NU 9330).

Features such novelties as "My Ding-a-Ling" by Chuck Berry, "Monster Mash" by Bobby (Boris) Pickett and The Crypt Kickers, "Beans in My Ears" by The Serendipity Singers, "I'm a Nut" by Leroy Pullins, "Pink Shoe Laces" by Dodie Stevens, and "On Top of Spaghetti" by Tom Glazer and The Children's Chorus.

Song examples all shown with the key lyrics on the lower-third screen, in a manner reminiscent of old Fleischer and Famous Studios Screen Song theatrical cartoons (and on TV, in Sing Along With Mitch).

A snippet of Ray Stevens' "Bridget the Midget (The Queen of the Blues)" is heard at the beginning and end of this ad.

Available at Redford Stores, Disco Sky City, S.H. Kress, Woolworth, Sears, Roses, Record Bar, and Eckerd Drugs.

Main voiceover sounds like Bill Scott in his "Bullwinkle" voice. Ending voiceover by ??

This aired on local Chattanooga, Tennessee TV the first week of December, 1977.
