RSSSwing Wing Commercial + Slayer = Thanks YouTube!
When Mike sent over an old commercial for a weird kids’ toy called the Swing Wing, my first thought was, “Monkey? check. Elephant? check. Soundtrack? Meh. If this toy only had a big name band doing its jingle, it could’ve been as big a fad for the head as hula hoop was for the waist.”
It didn’t, so it wasn’t, but thanks to some creative individuals out there, the Swing Wing may still have a chance at catching on with pre-headbangers, tiny hustlers, and kids who are on the “E”. Or the “X”. Or whatever the kids are ingesting that makes them swing around glow sticks these days.

Some of the segments worked really well depending on the music. Did you have a favorite part?

18 y.o. daughter and I watched the three You Tube segments together and LOL. No doubt the Techno music went the best but we were impressed by all three. I’ll be a little frightened if this Swing Wing thing takes off now that you have all these great bands behind it … kind of reminds me of shaken baby syndrome or something. It just can’t be o.k. to whip your head around like that for hours on end, huh?

Slayer has never been put to better use. Genius.

Yeah, my fav part is in the slayer video, when the kids are standing heroically in the top of some block or maybe a tower and thrashing hard, while spinning those swin wings. It’s like some scary and bizarre revolution, and you just can’t understand WHY ARE THEY DOING THAT?
geez, it’s freaky
