several of my ute were wildroot cream oil, vitalis, greasy brylcream. barbershop shelves were stocked with mysterious colorful exotic smelling tonics. one wanted to try them all.

I had longer than shoulder length hair in the 70s.

My hair dressing was a brush.

this stuff was thick. the only way to get it out was to shave the noggin. it was great for slicking the hair back.

tavern in the town reminds me of the worst bass solo ever recorded.

Weren't Wild Root the ones that sponsored Woody Herman for a time? (Hence the title he recorded)

As for "Tavern In The Town", suggest you listen either to the Bar-X Cowboys' recording of 1937 or to the one by Leonard Feather's "Ye Olde English Swinge Band" (same year). That should brighten things up.

Re- hair grease, in my teen/twen/student days I used to take our local brands (sold in tubes) on specific occasions: "Brisk"; "Fit" or "Flott".

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

In a perfect world, there would be a YouTube clip of the Score commercial with Bake Turner singing "That's The Score" to the tune of "Hold Me Tight" while at least one mermaid looked on.

I never would let such substances get anywhere close to my hair ...
