Stan Freberg and Jeno's Pizza Rolls

Do you remember the Jeno's pizza rolls commercials created by actor/ Renaissance Man, Stan Freberg? Produced in the 1960's, they were a parody of another contemporary commercial for Lark cigarettes that used the William Tell Overture. In the Jeno's commercial a cigarette smoking man (supposedly representing the Lark commercials announcer) and Clayton Moore as the Lone Ranger confront the Jeno's spokesman over the use of the music. Jay Silverheels also appears as Tonto, filling a bag with Pizza Rolls. The "High Ho, Pizza Rolls! Away!" line was done by Stan Freberg.
