What are some of your favorite commercial jingles?
Three of mine are rather dated:
Dinah Shore singing “See the USA in your Chevrolet…”
“Oh I’d love to be an Oscar Meyer Wiener.
That is what I’d truly like to be-e-e,
'Cause if I were an Oscar Meyer Wiener
Everone would be in love with me!”
There’s no real tune - the “jingle” is the rhythm and trust me, this is a serious earworm. I hope they paid the guy who wrote it a lot of money because he’s probably the main reason the business is successful.
Simple and infectious. Aspiring jingle writers, please take note.
“I can bring home the bacon,
Fry it up in the pan,
And never ever ever let you forget you’re a man…
'cause I’m a woman…Enjoli!”
Didn’t really like the commercial too much, but the jingle was catchy.
Never actually saw this commercial when it aired, but C. W. McCall (Bill Fries)‘s “Old Home Bread” jingle got turned into one of his singles ("Old Home Fill’er Up and Keep on a Truckin’ Cafe).
