Disneyland TV Commercial Jingle

Found this old 78 record years ago in a thrift store.  I had never seen the Peter Pan Disneyland TV commercials before (found this before YouTube) and wondered what it was.  Took it home and listened. Turns out it was recorded and sent to salesmen to push the sales of Peter Pan Peanut Butter. 


As Mr. Lane says on the record "Take a listen for yourself":  http://waltsmusic.com/index.php/just-for-fun/item/386-peter-pan-peanut-butter-jingle

Peter Pan Peanut Butter was a sponsor of the Disneyland TV show in the late 1950s.  These cute commercials featured the characters from Peter Pan to include a talking Tinker Bell, voiced by Gloria Wood.  Most were narrated by Sterling Halloway.  The second jingle on this record about the robot who "puts the crunch in Peter Pan" is either voiced by Paul Frees or Thurl Ravenscroft. 

You can find several Youtube videos of the old commercials including a few with the first jingle. Have not seen one with the second jingle yet.
