BENNIGANS.

Is/was a great resturaunt that consistantly had amazing commercials, AND THERE IS ONE that has been stuck in my head for years. It is this:

As I put on my daily attire,
I got my button-flies out of the dryer,
Next thing you know I'm a wealthy man of means,
I found 10 bucks in the pocket of my jeans.

It was catchy and glorious and I can not find it on the damn internet. Where are you, Pocket Money Spot?! (also does anyone know what Im talking about?)

  1. Almost four years have passed. It may be that you've since then found the song, it may be that you don't care anymore, it may be that you've given up hope.

    Or maybe, just maybe, this has been clawing at your soul for the past four years, somewhere deep down that you didn't entirely realize....and now, after having found this post during an hour long search of the song myself, and also finding the song, maybe my sharing of it with you will ease some deep and tragic pain, and part of you can be completed.

    Enjoy, random internet stranger:

    1. That link is for the commercial, not the entire song though.

  2. I remember this jingle. Used to sing it to myself, hum it, whistle it... still do, from time to time. This was back in the days before 9/11. Back when the "ecomony" was such that you could buy yourself a beer and a sports magazine (hahahaha!) if you found ten bucks in yer jeans! I haven't clicked your link yet, but if I recall, it went something like:

    As I put on my daily attire
    And pull my button-flies out of the dryer,
    Next thing you know, I'm a healthy man of means
    'Cause I found ten bucks in the pocket of my jeans.
    There's a spring in my step, and my eye's full of glint
    'Cause my pockets were a-hiding more than lint
    something something, word that rhymes with jeans
    'Cause I found ten bucks in the pocket of my jeans.
    So, now i'm shopping and having some fun
    Thanks to my new-found friend... Alexander Hamilton (hahaha)!

  5. This song, or at least part of it, has been in my head for over a decade! LoL.
    Thanks for reminding me of the lines I had long forgotten.
    Has anyone found the full song?

    For my own mental peace, I compiled the lyrics gathered in this thread

  6. There are more verses too. As other spots. One was about finding a lucky oarking spot.
