this is what i sent to them:

 

hello,

 

I am writing to query after a orbit chewing gum ad that was used in the UK or America a number of years ago, probably in the 90's.

It was written by Michael Penniman Jr. But possibly listed as by Mica Penniman.

I don't know much else except that he was in his early teens when he wrote it. If you still have the ad stored somewhere and could make it avaliable in some way you have no idea how much it would be appreciated. Thankyou very much for your time.

hey everyone:

 

this is the response i got from wrigley today:

 

Dear , Thanks for visiting the Wrigley web site to request information about the actor or actress in our ad for Wrigley's gum. Although we'd like to be helpful, because of contractual agreements with those who produce the commercials, as well as the actors and actresses who appear in them, we are unable to distribute photos or information about the participants. Again, thanks for taking the time to stop by Wrigley.com and for your interest in Wrigley advertising. Sincerely, Molly FlayNorth American Consumer Affairs Representative

so, i think wev've hit a dead end, becasue they can't give it to us becasue of law.

I'm not sure Mika was the one who wrote it, just sang it.

But on the other hand I don't think it made any difference.

yeah, but it's only the commercial. I mean not any information or something. The commercial was shown on tv so millions of people already watched it. We only want the commercial...no exclusive information about him. [we already have all that information:mf_rosetinted:]

AAHHHH! I know this is an olld thread, but I got curious and emailed again, and it seems we may now know the title of the jingle! Maybe its False hope, but I'm really super excited right now! I'll quote from the email:

[Thank you for your enthusiastic comments about our sponsorship of the Orbit "Help Me" Jingle done by Mica Penniman.* It's always encouraging to receive a nice letter like yours.]

So, if that helps anyone, and you want to do some more sleuthing action, PLEASE DO! If we could find it, I think I might faint!:fangurl:

GOOD LUCK with that . . .

So..... upon my mika research, I have learned that he once when he was around age 13, wrote a chewing gum jingle for Orbit Chewing gum. All I can find is lyrics that he sang in an interveiw once "it cleans your teeth too, Orbit gum clap, clap!"

 

or something very similar.

 

I WOULD LOOOOOOOVVEEEE to hear it! Does anyone know where I can find it? Ive ggogled it, youtubed it...NOTHING.

 

So...if youve ever heard it, can you please help me out and let me know where to find it?

 

 

THANKS!

peace,love,music!
