I bet there’s not a poster in the thread that doesn’t recognize this bit of marketing genius: > > Meow meow meow meow > meow meow meow meow > meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow > Meow meow meow meow > meow meow meow meow > Meow meow meow… MEOW! I used to make ads, including one with a non-descript voiceover guy. He had a nice voice, so chatting after he read his lines, I asked him what else he’d done. After he mentioned a few, I asked him what was his favorite funny voice he’d ever done. He turned red and said “Well, I don’t usually admit that this was me…” “Oh, go on, do the voice!” “Okay…” And his thin, reedy voice got low and gruff: _**Kibbles and Bits, Kibbles and Bits, I’m gonna get me some Kibbles and Bits!**_ ---

This is a local one, that came on while I was getting ready for school, circa 1969. [Frosty Morn Ham - Starring The Singing Pigs! - YouTube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDrMGqSSKgw) From the comments… “Another jingle from my Nashville childhood, it sticks in one’s brain like bubble gum. But the imagery revisited in adulthood is troubling. These cartoon piglets are celebrating being slaughtered, pumped with sugar and gassed with hickory smoke. Not only that, but they are parading around in ecstasy with a hind part of one of their comrades who has not only been butchered, sugar cured and hickory smoked, but also wrapped in a celebratory shroud to be sold and eaten with guileless relish. Tasty!” 😃 ---

This one must have been from about 1974-1976: I’ve been sweet, and I’ve been good I’ve had a whole, full day of motherhood But I’m gonna have an Aviance night! Also, of similar vintage: Schaefer is the one beer to have when you’re having more than one. ---

If we’re doing fictional ones, how about: "What goes down stairs Alone or in pairs Rolls over the neighbor’s dog? It’s great for a snack It fits on your back It’s Log, Log, Log! It’s Log! It’s Log!
