I can’t seem to forget her
Her Windsong stays on my mind
“Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles onions on a sesame seed bun” hasn’t been used in twenty years.
“When you use Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific shampoo,
Boys say, “*****” to you!”
The missing words are left as an exercise for the student.
Here’s to good friends
Tonight is kinda special
The beer we’ll pour
Must mean something more somehow
Tonight, tonight
Let it be Lowenbrau:
Really appropriate for today:
“Calgon, take me away!”
I was driving in my car
But I didn’t get too far
When I heard a sound I knew I didn’t like
So instead of tryin’ to moan
I just got me to a phone
And I called
Hub City Glass!
Hub City Glass!
The auto glass specialists!
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.
“Pete Ellis Dodge!
Long Beach Freeway
Firestone exit
South Gate!”
And the various versions of “Go See Cal” and his dog Spot.
You mean like “You’ll wonder where the yellow went/when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent”?
Or “Stronger than dirt! New Ajax laundry detergent is stronger than dirt!”?
(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! I SO wanted my father to rent a Hertz car just to see that happen to him!)
Sheraton. It still is their number!
*There’s a fragrance that’s here to stay
and they call it… Charlie!
You’ve got that look
I want to know better
You’ve got the look
that’s altogether…
it’s the Jordache look
I’m a Pepper he’s a Pepper she’s a Pepper
wouldn’t you like to be a Pepper too*
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.
Who wears short shorts?
ETA: Nair commercial I believe.
Are you referring to this jingle?
A couple from McDonald’s:
There’s more
in the middle
of an egg mcmuffin
than an egg
in the middle
of a muffin
Two all beef patties
special sauce
lettuce cheese
pickles onions
on a sesame seed bun
Ancient Chinese secret, huh?
And I was just remembering Charles Nelson Reilly singing about Bic Bananas yesterday.
“And We Helped!”
“How about a nice Hawaiian Punch?”
Good times.
That’s seriously from 29 years ago? It doesn’t seem nearly that long … says the guy who remembers every word of the Snoopy toothbrush commercial from 41 years ago.
I am old.
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.
[/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.
Nothing says lovin’ like something From the oven,
And Pillsbury says it best!
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.”
And:
Choo Choo Charley vote for president
so kids will have a friend in goverment
