In my parents day, it was "Rum & Cho-kha- Cho-lah". What about Boomer pop culture?

I'm not sure how to phrase this. My WWII parents used to sing this song, It was a big hit in the 1940s- "Run & Coca cola", but you had to pronounce it "Cho-kha-cho-lah". You had to live through the 40s to know how to say it right. And that got me thinking, what are some of the cultural things that Millennials would draw a blank that kids from the 50s, 60s, would know?
What Millennial would know what "It's Howdy Doody Time" mean? Here's an old one, "Good night, Mrs. Calabash". There's got to be more.
