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!” The [Rice Krispies jingle.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6TIsxTdrCU&feature=related) Added bonus: [Rice Krispies tune by The Rolling Stones!](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxlTAeBna_0) ---

These are my favorites. 100 interwebs to anyone who can say what they have in common without looking it up. “Get a bucket of chicken, finger lickin’ good! have a barrel of fun” “Like a Good Neighbor, State-Farm is there!” “I am stuck on a band-aid 'cause a band-aid’s stuck on me” “It’s the most original softdrink ever int he whole wide world. Doctor Pepper!” “Join the Pepsi people, feelin’ free feelin’ free!” “You deserve a break today, so get up and get away! To McDonald’s!” These, among others, were all written by Barry Manilow ---

I’m gonna throw this one out there for Americans who may not have seen it: [webuyanycar.com](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-yEWZTBQ64) 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”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxYetCEFomU) jingle got turned into one of his singles ("Old Home Fill’er Up and Keep on a Truckin’ Cafe). “Old Home is good buns!” ---
