Happy Easter, Bill and Maddie! Kids young and old might enjoy this also; it was a seasonal favorite of mine way back when:

Well, I guess there’s always this one:

Another musical cartoon rabbit that made an early impression on me:

I just cleaned out a cobwebby corner of my memory and recovered this:

Man, Juergen, this is a real stumper for me! There was a Wings album called Back to the Egg, and White Rabbit was posted recently in the 1967 thread. But I have to go back to my formative years to find another example:

Juergen, I think those are both fresh additions to the list. No fooling! Very nice ones, too.

Okay, this discovery WAS due to a YouTube algorithm:
-
ALERT! Drive My Car is just two or three hours away from becoming the first MLT video to reach 6,000,000 views on YouTube!

Easily my favorite Tommy James song:

Another big M&P hit from ’67:

I wasn’t familiar with Arnold Layne, JP, but I like it! Both the style of the video and the sound of the song seem like they might have inspired They Might Be Giants two decades later.

One of the very few American artists to survive the British invasion:

Juergen, that cartoon is one of several dozen educational cartoon songs from a series called Schoolhouse Rock, which aired on American TV in the 1970’s. They were inserted in between the regular Saturday morning cartoons, such as Bugs Bunny, in a clever attempt to teach kids basic facts about multiplication, grammar, U.S. history, and science in a way that they would remember for the rest of their lives. Each one featured different characters and settings. I’d suggest checking them out on YouTube; some of the melodies are really catchy.
That’s an intriguing commercial you posted! The phrase at the end, “Das Schweizer Ei”, reminds me of a funny moment from my college German class. The instructor asked, “Was haben Sie zum Fruehstueck gegessen?” (What did you eat for breakfast?) He requested an answer from one particular student, who haltingly said, “Zum Fruehstueck habe ich das Ei gegessen.” The instructor responded with “Das Ei? The egg? What, the ultimate egg?” I laughed, imagining someone coming into his kitchen and saying, “You idiot! You ate THE egg! It’s irreplaceable!”

I hadn’t heard that one, Juergen. I imagine a lot of parents raised their eyebrows when they heard all those animals proudly singing about the fact that they “do it”.
According to Wikipedia, the two sides of the Back to the Egg LP were titled Sunny Side Up and Over Easy.

Another great 1967 Turtles song:
