I remember this commercial for the toy Skip-It. It was a bunch of kids playing outside, and the song went like..."Skip-It! Skip-It! ....But the very best thing of all, is there's a counter on this ball! So Skip-it, Skip-It."
If anyone could actually find this commercial, or tell me what year it came out I would be extremely grateful. :)

That's one the earliest commercials in my life I can remember which would have been around 89-90 but who knows it could have been made earlier than that.
Same with me! I think it's the first commercial I remember. I was born in '88, so I must have been really little.

Yeah I remember watching it and thinking it was weird cause the skip-it was pink and showed a boy using one :p

yeah it was pretty catchy...
"But the very best thing of all
Theres a counter on this ball
So see if you can beat your very best score
See if you can skip a whole lot more!"
Skip-it, skip-it..."

Oh yes, I randomly sang that commercial during a test in gym once.
I sucked at the Skip-It, but darnit, they knew how to make a jingle!
Hey now, kids, come gather 'round,
something new's popped into town
Skip-It, Skip-It
*announcer guy talks about product for a sec*
But the very best thing of all
There's a....counter on this ball!
So try to beat your very best score
See if you can skip a whole lot more!
Skiiiip-It, skiiiiip it....
My friend had one of those. She was great at it, but it reminded me of a pink ball and chain.

Yeah, a family friend (she was a few years older than I was) had a purple one and I was obsessed with it. I wish they still made them.
The last time I saw this commercial was around 2001-02...and I just happened to be flipping through channels. But I believe it did come out around 1989.
