What jingles do you remember?

[Bertha Venation]

Here's my current earworm

Hot dogs -- Armour hot dogs
What kind of kids love Armour hot dogs
Fat kids, skinny kids, kids who climb on rocks
Tough kids, sissy kids (?!)
Even kids with chicken pox love hot dogs
Armour hot dogs
The dogs kids love to bite

[pipi_k]

1. Long ago

there was a phone number for a particular hotel or motel or something like that and I still remember the number in the jingle...

8-oh-oh...3-2-5...3-5-3-5


This was over 40 years ago.

OTOH, I can't even remember my own cell phone number.

[intaglio]

2. UK - a finger o' Fudge is just enough

to give your kids a treat,
A finger o' Fudge is just enough
Until it's time to eat.
It's full of Cadbury goodness
and very small and neat.
A finger o' Fudge is just enough to give your kids a treat!

Alternatively, Everyone's a fruit and nutcase

[hamsterjill]

3. I am STUCK on band-aid brand cause band-aid stuck on me!

Probably because I'm a Barry fan!!

[cyberswede]

4. Plop plop, fizz fizz

Oh what a relief it is.

[Bertha Venation]

5. I can't believe I ate the whole thing.

[HappyMe]

6. From the land of sky blue waters.....

[HappyMe]

7. Choo Choo Charlie

[antiquie]

8. Do campaign ditties count?

Whistle while you work
Stevenson's a jerk
Eisenhower's got the power
Whistle while you work

[rogerballard]

9. America's Favorite Cigarette Break

Not necessarily a jingle, but I always loved the song.

[mockmonkey]

10. I guess it's kind of a jingle

Sheraton Hotel commercial would sing the phone number 800 325 3535

I looked it up they still use that number, I think the song was from the 70's

[Iggo]

11. Damn near every one I've ever heard.

They won't leave me alone.

Edited to add: I even know the address of things that aren't there anymore.

"Dial, Dial, Dial Chevrolet.
Two blocks off the Santa Ana Freeway
One-one-nine-eight-oh East Firestone.
Dial Chevrolet."

(And of course every jingle I remember somehow ends with "We're in the White Pages!" whether it ended that way or not.)

[Bertha Venation]

19. I remember that one! I also remember

Go see Cal, go see Cal, go see Cal!

It's Cal Worthington and his dog, Spot! (It was always a different animal; I don't think it was ever a dog.)

[Iggo]

46. And...

"Worthington Ford in Long Beach.
Worthington Ford in Long Beach.
San Diego Freeway
At Bellflow'r Bou-le-vard."

[Bertha Venation]

51. Bummer.

I don't remember that one.

[rogerballard]

12. Mabel Black Label

[BarbaRosa]

13. Teaberry shuffle

[sinkingfeeling]

23. And there's the DoubleMint one...double your pleasure, double your fun.

[rogerballard]

14. Wouldn't you really rather have a Buick?

Sound and picture quality not so great but I remember this so well....

[Denninmi]

15. The Faygo Soda song.

Faygo is a local brand here in Detroit. Might be available in some other markets.

They ran a commercial for years in the 60's, 70's, and early 80's, featuring "The Faygo Man" - an older, jolly-looking actor wearing an old-time red and white, barbershop quartet type outfit, singing and dancing with kids on the Boblo Island Ferry - Boblo was an amusement park then, long since gone.

Here are the lyrics:

Comic books and rubber bands
Climb into the tree top
Falling down and holding hands
Tricycles and Redpop
Pony rides and Sunday nights
Roller skates and snowball fights
Climbin' through the window
Remember when you were a kid?
Well, part of you still is
And that's why we make Faygo
Faygo remembers

[rogerballard]

17. Boblo every summer

Detroit area had some great jingles, everybody sang along to the Faygo song, how about Little Caesers sing along before they got BIG, Farrells Ice Cream Parlor, Bill Bonds, Bill Kennedy, Rita Bell........................ sorry a bit off topic but the Boblo thing brought back memories.

[Denninmi]

24. Yup, I remember most of that.

Bill Bonds in particular. He's still alive, kicking, and does periodic commercials for some of the local businesses. Mostly, though, when I was a teenager, he was notorious -- he lived less than a mile away, and he kept getting arrested for DUI right on our street. The sad thing there, he had a daughter who was killed in a head-on crash about 2-3 miles away, and both she and the other driver, who lived, were over the legal limit. Sad what alcoholism can do.

[Boomerproud]

16. At McDonald's, we do it all for youuuu...

and their competitor: Have it your way
Have it your way
at Burger King.

[westerebus]

18. The change in my pocket.

That's gone too..

[olddots]

20. Don't trade a head ache for an upset stomache

this had a creepy graphic with it.

[olddots]

21. going way back the Robert Hall commercials

on the east coast the saturation was brutal with these ads

[trof]

33. Robetr Hall, this season, will show you the reason. LOW OVERHEAD! LOW OVERHEAD!

[LiberalElite]

83. you'll save more on clothes for school -

SHOP AT ROBERT HALL!!!!!!!!!!!

[sinkingfeeling]

22. Ipana and Chevrolet

[CitizenLeft]

45. man does that bring back memories!

That particular commercial was before my time, but the jingle was still being played in in the 60's.

[HarveyDarkey]

61. Oh yeah, Bucky Beaver

not really a jingle though.

[Corgigal]

25. this one

My youngest daughter use to sing it all the time. Almost broke me with her "snacking" time.

[Brother Buzz]

26. Ellis Brooks Jingle - It piggybacked on the Dinah Shore "See the USA in your Chevrolet" campaign

Only it aired on San Francisco Bay Area radio stations for decades and decades after Dinah Shore was retired. I bet there isn't a soul raised in the Bay Area that doesn't know the words

[LWolf]

27. That's a terrible question!

Now I'm going to have them stuck in my head all day!

I'll meet your Armour Hot Dogs with Oscar Mayer:

AND I CAN'T BELIEVE, HERE ON DU, NOBODY OFFERED UP THIS ONE:

[DebJ]

89. Oh I'd love to be Anthony Danger Weiner,that is what I'd truly like to be

Cuz if I was Anthony Danger Weiner
All the girls would be in love with me!

I bet he hated those commercials!

[lastlib]

28. "You wonder where the yellow went..."

"...when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent."
(and we always added:
"First comes green, then comes black,
Then you'll want your yellow back!&quot

[rogerballard]

29. Chock full of Nuts...

Its that Heavenly coffee..... try getting that one out of your head

[RiffRandell]

37. I hated those commercials.

There was some strange women dressed up like a milk maid in them.

[Graybeard]

66. Better coffee Rockefeller's money can't buy.

Those were the original lyrics but I understand the Rockefellers threatened to sue and the words were changed to, "a millionaire's money can't buy".

[LiberalEsto]

30. "I love Bosco, Bosco's good for me

Mommy puts it in my milk ...." this is the point where I forget the rest of the words and revert to what we kids used to sing:

"I hate Bosco, Bosco's bad for me.
Mommy put in in my milk; she tried to poison me.
I fooled Mommy, I put it in her tea!
No more Mommy, to try and poison me."

Actually I loved Bosco. It was a chocolate syrup meant to be stirred into a glass of milk to make chocolate milk. It was also good stirred into Cream of Wheat.

Then there was:

"Choc choc chokolatey,
chew chew chewy"
for Tootsie Rolls.




Snap! Crackle! Pop! Rice Krispies

Alternate version:

(just to name a very few).

These jingles were spewed out on the TV my parents used to watch, before there were remote controls and fast forwarding.

[trof]

34. Too many. That's why they worked.

They planted an irresistible earworm in you head.
Winstons taste good...
Not a cough in a carload (Chesterfields?)
Plop plop, fizz fizz...
See the USA...
Wouldn't you really rather have a Buick?...
Older Buick ad..."Ask the man who owns one"...
Pepsi Cola hits the spot, 12 full ounces, that's a lot...

So many...

[trof]

35. And of course, This JINGLES:

Wild Bill Hickok Cast
Guy Madison as U.S. Marshal James Butler 'Wild Bill' Hickok
Andy Devine as Jingles

Horses:Buckshot - Wild Bill's horse and Joker was Jingles

[RiffRandell]

No Matter What Shape Your Stomach's In:

Mike Persia Chevrolet "Buy Your Chevrolet from Persia, Mike Persia Chevrolet". This was in Houston. Had a little man playing a large drum and wearing a fez. I couldn't find a video.

http://www.websitesneworleans.com/signsofneworleans/id84.html

More Houston ads:
Thunderbolt Transmission:

Colonial House Apartments, for swinging singles in the early 1980s

Superior Waterbeds, A-1 Mobile Homes, Aim toothpaste, Kroger:

Wolfman Jack at Astroworld:

Hey Culligan Man!!! (Yeah I'm old):

Charlie perfume with Shelley Hack and Bobby Short:

There's a Shalimar commercial with a Chopin Ballade as background music, but I can't find it on YouTube.

[CitizenLeft]

70. crap, I knew all the words to that Charlie commercial

...Shelley Hack, pre-Angel, LOL!

[ms liberty]

43. Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese..

pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun!

[CitizenLeft]

44. Coke commercials

I still gets these stuck in my head sometimes:

I'd like to buy the world a home and furnish it with love,
Grow apple trees and honey bees, and snow white turtle doves.
I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony,
I'd like to buy the world a Coke and keep it company.
(Repeat the last two lines, and in the background)
It's the real thing, Coke is what the world wants today.

...and this one:

Things go better with Coca-Cola,
Things go better with Coke

It's the refreshingest!

I used to drink 6 cans of Coke a day. I'm now diabetic. But I cut out the Coke completely, so I'm fine now.

[adirondacker]

60. The first clip stained my brain as a child. Coke wanted the same thing as Hippies, who knew?

I will give them credit for hiring some kickass PR person to pull that one off.

[CitizenLeft]

69. LOL

well, they hooked me, that's for sure. Took me awhile to cut it out of my diet, but I did it. Now I can't drink it, it's too sweet and thick, just off-putting.

It cleans my battery perfectly, though.

[adirondacker]

75. My mother allowed us do drink the stuff, perhaps once a week. I give her a lot of credit

for steering us against the stuff.

I have developed a slight addiction to good coffee though. 3-4 cups minimum intake.

[Iggo]

47. You deserve a break today!

http://m.

[kwassa]

76. You deserve a brick today.

This is what was allegedly written on a brick thrown through a front window of a McDonalds near the Brown University campus in Providence.

Early 1970s. The story might be apocryphal, but was popular at the time.

[CitizenLeft]

48. Windsong

for some reason, this song pops into my head often. I must've been 9 or 10, and it was a warm Friday summer evening, around 7:00, the windows were open and a soft breeze was blowing the curtains, and the sun was pouring into the windows of our tiny depressing little apartment, and I could hear my mother fixing dinner in the tiniest kitchen you can imagine... and this commercial came on right at that moment. We were very poor, but it was just before my Mom began her COBOL training and got promoted, changing our lives forever for the better. Anyway, there was something perfect and sublime about that summer evening, and the song playing on that commercial, and now whenever that song pops into my head, a wave of contentment washes over me and puts me right back into that perfect moment. Being poor must not have mattered, I don't remember that... I remember this, and how it made me feel, and still makes me feel. Weird, huh?

[Bertha Venation]

53. Not weird, CitizenLeft

This is kinda the response I'd been expecting to see in this thread. I have a lot of other jingles in my head, mostly from the time parked on the carpet in the dark in front of Grandma's console black & white. Those were the good times for me. Your post sounds like hope. I enjoyed reading it.

[CitizenLeft]

68. thank you!

My childhood had lots of ups and downs, like most people, and this song reminds me of all the quiet good times when I felt comfortable in the world. My dear mother made it that way, and that's what that commercial reminds me of.

Thanks again!

[pinboy3niner]

49. Brylcreem, a little dab'll do ya...use more only if you dare

[CitizenLeft]

50. one more

I've never drunk beer in my life, but I just found this commercial and I knew all the words... go figure.

[applegrove]

52. Bell in the 1980s in Canada: "Saturday, Saturday mmmmm I love my Saturdays

2/3rds off long distance every Saturday
You can call Saturday don't wait for Sunday

I like my Saturdays
I call my friends till I just can't dance"

[awoke_in_2003]

54. Everytime I saw Monsters Inc...

and the scene with the Abominable Snowman I had a "what the hell is that reference" moment. Finally remembered after the 5th time seeing it.

[awoke_in_2003]

55. Hey Clevelanders...

remember the one for the aluminum siding company?

"Garfield1-2323. Garfield1-2323"

God, that woman's voice was bad.

[CitizenLeft]

67. Eastsider here!

I almost posted that one last night - here ya go!

... and wait, one more - I can't find a vid for it though, I think it was only a radio jingle:

"Chevy Chevy, see Commander Ray at West Park Chevrolet!"

[awoke_in_2003]

74. West sider here...

been down here (TX) for 21 years and that still haunts me . I am returning for a vacation in October- I haven't seen autumn since I moved here.

[CitizenLeft]

81. if I moved to a warm climate, I'd miss Ohio

I'd miss the autumns most of all, but I'd also miss those peaceful crisp silent mornings after a night's snowfall. I hate shoveling the crap, but it can be so beautiful. I'd miss it.

Enjoy your vacation, that's the best time of year - October!

[awoke_in_2003]

82. Exactly what I have been missing...

both the crisp autumns and the quiet piece and freshness of new snow, though I too hate shoveling it. The feelings for the return grow stronger every year. We watch A Christmas Story (filmed in Cleveland, I am sure you know) every year, and I really love the last scene. Sitting in a dark room with a drink, watching the snow fall. There is something very peacefull about that.

[tavernier]

56. I think it goes something like this:

I've got shoes
You've got shoes
All of Gods children got shoes
But the only kind of shoes for me
Are good old Buster Brown shoes.

Can't remember the show they sponsored but I'm picturing a little Indian boy (like from India) and jungles. Not sure why.

[Bertha Venation]

59. maybe taken from slave spiritual

"all god's chilluns got shoes"

(I only know of this through reading; have never heard it sung)

[orleans]

57. a chicagoland car commerical

ferrell hicks

58. Muriel Cigars

with Edie Adams

Why don't you pick one up and smoke it sometime!!

[Aristus]

62. You work hard; you need: Right Guard!

[adirondacker]

63. Tang it's what astronauts drink

I remember I convinced my mother we had to have it. She finally broke down and bought it. Noone in the family would drink it
.

[HarveyDarkey]

64. You'll wonder where the yellow went, when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent

[Graybeard]

65. Mission Bell wine. Old Spice.

Just the other day,
I heard a fella say,
"Give me Mission Bell wine,
because Mission Bell's fine."

"Old Spice means quality",
said the Captain to the Bos'n.
So look for the package
with the ship that sails the ocean.

[ConcernedCanuk]

71. Bromo-Seltzer

.
.
.

I remember back in the 50's - it was a regular stipend in our home.

Jingle went

"Take a Bromo-Seltzer, and wake up feeling yourself."

In the early sixties - one of my friends related a revised version.

"Be a homo and take a bromo - then wake up feeling yourself"

I don't need a pill for that.
