Aha, I thought that might pique some curiosity on this list of adventurous
musicians!
The toothpaste song is the first of Nicolas Slonimsky's FIVE ADVERTISING
SONGS. The texts, as you've probably guessed, are from real magazine
adverts from the early part of the 20th century, and Slonimsky sets them in
a stylized, parodic way. The songs are very funny. They are only
available in a low-voice key, but I had the first one transposed up to
match a recording my friend played me.
The music is available from Cambria Publishing in Lomita California.
Happy brushing!
