Pocket Rockers was a brand of music player produced by
Fisher-Price in the late 1980s, aimed at
elementary school-age children. It played a proprietary variety of miniature cassette which was released only by Fisher-Price themselves. Each tape had two songs. Tapes were available from several pop stars, including
Tiffany and
Debbie Gibson. They were designed to be as much a fashion accessory as a music player, and for a brief period they were enough of a youth craze to get banned in some schools.
The advertisements featured a song in the tune of Creedence Clearwater Revival's
Down on the Corner.
