I don’t think Ron Howard had much to do with this but what do I know? I’m betting it was a favorite of his growing up (like everyone else) just like Herman and Katnip.

Ron Howard wrote the song Punk Rock Girl performed by The Dead Milkmen. Great song, one of the anthems of the Punk Rock movement. Enough clues in it to show it was probably Ron. The video is hilarious as is the song. Love it!!
Ron Howard wrote Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. I’m not sure if he’s Rick Wakeman, I have to do the research. FYI, just a super album! He could be Rick. Lots of great music. Theater like music, change ups…it’s brilliant!!!
Ron Howard did Attack of the Killer Tomatoes and wrote the song…world class stuff!
Ron came up with the idea of Fluff, The Fluffernutter, the song and the commercial for Fluff and the Fluffernutter! This was a big deal because it was delicious and a change up from Jelly which I could take or leave. This was a godsend!
Ron Howard worked on this commercial for Nutter Butter Cookies including writing the song…and remember…have another nutter butter peanut butter sandwich cookie!
Not only did he write the song and do the commercial but as I suspected he created the cookie!! Should not be a surprise if you listen to song I’m the Man by Joe Jackson
Ron Howard did this terrific commercial for “Van Camp’s Pork and Bean” In it was a song he wrote that stated: “Simple Pleasures are the best!” We couldn’t eat the stuff in my house for obvious reasons but the commercial was great!
From what I can Ron Howard wrote this opening theme for the show, “The Magic Garden”
He might have had more to do with the show but I’m not sure. Remember he’s been involved with a lot of kids programming like, “The Electric Company” and “The After School Special”, probably Sesame Street”
I was fortunate to see an Off-Broadway musical at “The Village Gate” theater in Greenwich Village in the 70’s. I took a first date, might have been second to see it on a whim while we were there.
Lot’s of nudity and sexual skits. Really fun, we had a good time. I had to believe this was Ron’s since there was nudity in Hair, Oh Calcutta, and sexual situations in The Rocky Horror Show. Hard to pick apart the photos looking for everyone but I do recall in the show one guy about Ron’s build singing stage right. He was terrific but in part because when he hit the big notes his jar of Nutella pulled up to his abdomen. (I’m told that was Ron! He swore to his kids he wasn’t in the show but looks like I spotted him and they didn’t believe him anyway.) Why was I looking there? I have no clue why I was even in the theater but it was a great show except the strongest voice was a big black lady who wore a nightgown instead of going in puris naturalibus. Oh she would have been a lot of woman but what a voice!!
So I did my research and saw a clue from the Wikipedia: See below…vocal arrangements were Billy Cunningham…that is a clue since I figured Ron was Allen Cunningham the poker player when I found his wife was a player.

I’ll call it quits here, do your own research now
No doubt Ron Howard has done some of the best commercials ever made. This one is particularly great not just because it’s funny but also it probably did more for race relations in this country than having Sticks Downey show up to his party on “Happy Days”.
It was a Devil’s Dog commercial and it was just terrific!
What’s great about this commercial?
Super job for The Ron Man!
