Avadex…DW!
With Treflan!
Not a jingle, more of a catchphrase, that popped into my head this morning:
"Do you have ze microfilm."
Not just jingles but all sorts of old shit (including a “Hi, Opal!”) can be seen in For Geezers Onlyfrom 2011.
Tref-lan, from Elan-co!
(Dadadadada! Dadadadada! Dadadadada!)
Ai, ai, ai, ai, I am the Frito bandito…
(that’s all of that one that I remember)
You can trust your car
to the man who wears the star.
The big, bright
Texaco
star!
***I like Fritos corn cheeps,
I love them, I do!
I want Fritos corn cheeps,
I get them from you!
Ai, yi, yi, yi…***
Bardahl commercials used to give me the creeps when I was a kid, though I remember the one(s) with the Dragnet parody (unfortunately, not this one) the best:
Hold the pickle, hold the lettuce,
Special orders won’t upset us.
All we ask is that you let us
Serve it your way…"
“Good morning, yesterday.
You wake up
And time has slipped away…”
“I’m Chiquita banana and I’ve come to say
Bananas have to ripen in a certain way…”
The Benson & Hedges 100s song
It’s not polite to smack your lips
But you can’t help it with Fritos corn chips!
Munch, munch, munch a bunch of Fritos
Corn chips!
Somebody actually uses 867-5309 (not a toll-free number, either), although the only time I hear it is on Sirius/XM radio.
Here are a couple that are local to San Francisco:
(sung to “I Want A Girl Just Like The Girl That Married Dear Old Dad”)
I want a car
A David Varner car
David’s got 'em all
Impala, Nova, Vega, and Caprice
David’s got 'em all for sale or lease
I want a car
A David Varner car
Corner of Geary and Third
(He’s far out)
(sung to “See the USA in your Chevrolet”)
See Ellis Brooks today
For your Chevrolet
Corner of Bush and Van Ness…
Apparently, David Varner Chevrolet is still there; Ellis Brooks Chevrolet closed around 2008, and the new Ellis Brooks lot appears to be used cars only.

And I haven’t lived in SoCal for 25 years.
Eight-hundred, five eight eight, two three-hundred, EMPIRE!
Anyone from north central Indiana may remember these:
DeHaven Chevrolet

5200 Illinois Road
DeHaven Chev-ro-let
(spoken) We try harder
It appears that in recent years, Summit City Chevrolet bought the dealership but kept the jingle with the name change.

Half the fun of having feet is Red Goose Shoes.
I am the Frito Bandito!
Give me Fritos corn cheeps and I’ll be your friend.
The Frito Bandito you must not offend!
I searched YouTube with no joy.
When Calimyrna Figs meet famous Smyrna Figs, the combination is a great taste sensation that makes Fig Newtons Cakes the best.
Iirc the figs danced and the music was ??? something Chopin.
All over magazines in the 1970’s, ads for Tareyton Cigarettes:
“We’d rather fight than switch!”
'We’d rather light than fight!"
Spousal abuse AND cigarettes! Yay!
Us Tareyton smokers would rather fight than switch! - Wikipedia!
mentos, two all beef patties, log (though fictional), yup, i can still recite them.
just the other day i was singing to myself “you’re not fully clean unless you’re zest-fully clean!”
also this one:
the stars will always shine, the birds will always sing
as long as there is thirst, there’s always the real thing
coca-cola classic is always the one
whenever there is fun, there’s always coca-cola
do do do do do
always coca cola
i hated those ads from thetruth.com or whatever (the anti smoking ones) but this one i remember kind of fondly. what can i say, i’m a sucker for big musical numbers.
