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!
Bill Bailey, for Truman Motors in El Cajon.
“I tell you friends and neighbors…
Come get 'em.”
(with plinky banjo coda- BB winks at us on the last note.)

“Fill 'er up, Ding Ding
Fill 'er up, Ding Ding
'Cause you save with Douglas gas-o-line”
“I can bring home the bacon
(duh-duh-duh-duh-DUH!)
Fry it up in the pan
(duh-duh-duh-duh-DUH!)
And never never never let you forget you’re a man!
'Cuz I’m a wo-man!
Enjoli!”

Found this one, it is the second song here: King Kwik Commercial Montage (1970's) - YouTube
“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!”
“You start to live when you learn to drive
Start to have fun, where you used to have none
Make your life complete
Take the Driver’s seat
Call Automobile Club of
Amer-ic-ca!”
