We'd play it over and over again. As a gift, my sister transferred a few of the songs onto a cassette tape for me years ago (along with Alivin and the Chipmunks - it was a red see-through vinyl album, some favorite old Christmas songs, etc.).

we're confusing Mitch with some old commercial. I remember some commercial that used the moving dot. Maybe Mitch used that only in some songs.
