With a fit so good, You feel like showing off
Normandy Rose, (Who else?) Normandy Rose

You're looking good honey
Always just right
You wear the Rose
Cause they feels so nice
You're such a fancy dancer
Gotta keep you in sight

With a fit so good, You feel like showing off
Normandy Rose.

With a fit so good, You feel like showing off
Normandy Rose.

Who else?

This was my most popular recording.  It was on radio and TV in the early eighties.

NOTES:

I was at "The Music Source", a recording studio in Seattle, recording "Ester Michaels" and "My Girl". The recording studio did jingles and they had a new client (Normandy Rose Jeans) that they had asked me if I wanted to help them write a jingle for.

This was a different situation for me.  I had always paid the studio to record my songs, but this was the first time that they were going to pay me!

I went home that night and came up with the basic tune and idea, and gave them a call in the morning and sang it over the phone.

I had   ... "With a fit so good you feel like showing off ... Normandy Rose".

And I had the tune for the middle part (but no words yet), and I told them that I wanted the rhyming words for the middle part to rhyme with "right".

They said it sounded "cool", and could I come in sometime in the next couple of days to do a spec recording for the client, and they would work on some words for the middle part.

When we met with the client, he wanted to add the "who else" to the jingle

We then got together in a couple of days and I recorded the vocal tracks.

When all was said and done, I had spent a couple of hours and got a total of $600.00.  I thought that was a good deal!   However, when the jingle was being played all over the radio and TV, I remember thinking, "That's me singing and I didn't get paid much of anything!"   I then had to remember what a good deal that I thought it was, just a few weeks earlier.
