It’s a nursery rhyme-style song based on rock ’n’ roll from a commercial that aired in the 1980s and was loved by children at the time.

Isn’t it likely the commercial was made with the idea that a child would beg their mother, saying, “Mom, my sweater keeps crackling, so buy Soflan”?

It feels like children were the target audience for this TV commercial that aired in the 1980s.
