Intro by: Gail Nobles

Ladies and gentlemen, today's topic is about the Four Tops Velveeta Shells and Cheese commercial. You remember the song by the Four Tops titled It’s The Same Old Song. It was recorded for the Motown label. The song was released in 1965 as the second single from their second album. The song is today one of the top signatures and was reportedly from initial concept to commercial release in 24 hours. It reached number five on the billboard hot 100 and number two on the billboard R&B chart. it also reached number 34 in the UK.

The group appeared in a Velveeta Shells and Cheese commercial where they spoofed It's The Same Old Song with something called It's Not The Same Old Side. This commercial features the group performing and outfits of blue and yellow to match the colors of the Velveeta ashells and Cheese box.

Commercials like that are enjoyable to watch doing commercial breaks. It's nice hearing a Motown hit in a commercial. The Four Tops for Velveeta It's Not The Same Old Side was made in February 1996 according to YouTube videos.
