“When you use Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific shampoo, Boys say, “\*\*\*\*\*” to you!” The missing words are left as an exercise for the student. ---

> [@SeaDragonTattoo](#): > > Way back, Pearl Jam played one of the last concerts ever at the old Chicago Stadium. Somewhere in the middle of the concert, Eddie Vedder was chatting between songs and said, “I’m from Evanston, and I can prove it,” then he sang, “five eight eight, two three hundred,” and the entire stadium sang back at him, “EMPIRE!” It was weird, awesome, and hilarious. One of those moments I’ll never forget, and of course the Empire commercial was the first thing that came to mind when I read the thread title. Anyone from Atlanta? What is the address of Auto-Man Transmission? 4801! 4801! 4801 Buford Hiiiigh-Waaaay! Those Jenny Craig commercials: the first one was 1-800-94-Jenny. We had a friend named Jenny, and my kids thought that was her phone number. ---

> [@samclem](#): > > All the jingles I know are from 1952-1962. Most people wouldn’t remember them. You mean like _“You’ll wonder where the yellow went/when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent”_?

(White knight on a horse zaps someone clean with his lance) Or MY favorite: _By the hour, by the day, by the week, or any way / just let HERTZ put youuuuu in the driver’s seat today!’_ (Happy man comes sailing out of the sky to land behind the wheel of the driverless convertible!

_Lucky separates the men from the boys… But not from the girls. Mister, you’ll like Lucky Strikes!!_ No lyrics, but there was the Noxema shaving cream commercial done to the _The Stripper_ - and the tag line: “Take it off. Take it all off.” cooed by a sexy blonde whose name I can’t remember. And in Baltimore, we had: \* “If you don’t own a cow call Cloverland now, it’s NOrth 9-2222!”\* Naturally, being clever kids, we’d call and ask “I don’t own a cow - now what do I do??” I pity the poor people who answered the phone at that dairy in the days before CallerID. ---

I still hear two local (Philadelphia) jingles in my head from my childhood: [ul] Phillips Ford in nearby Conshohocken would spell the name of the town in their radio ad – “Phillips Ford in C-O-N-S-H-O-H-O-(pause)-C-K-E-N”. To this day, I need to think of the song in order to spell Conshohocken.[/ul] [ul] Call for Action – GReenwood 7-5312. This one even gets a nod on the [Call for Action entry on Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_For_Action#Past_Partnerships). [/ul] And one for the future: My (at the time) pre-school daughter would sing the phone number in the Empire Carpet ad. “800-588-23 hundred, Empire, today.” She even added the “today” ending in the lowest note a little girl could possibly sing. Assuming the SDMB exists in 2040s (I’m guessing there will always be ignorance to fight), perhaps she’ll post this as her jingle memory. ---

It was really 867-5309, right? 😃 McDonald’s: “Grab a bucket and mop. Scrub from bottom to top.” And Barry Manilow gave us “Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there,” and “I am stuck on a Band-Aid 'cause Band-Aid’s stuck on me.” ---
