From my 70s childhood: _Dusty, Dusty, Dusty Riding Nugget, Nugget, Nugget. They’re riding East, they’re riding West; Time to stop and take a rest…_ And _Kick and go, lean and turn; Squeeze and stop all around the block On a Honda, Honda, Honda Kick and Go…_ ---

You’ve got a lot to li-i-ive and Pepsi’s got a lot to give! And here’s one from an election campaign more than 20 years ago that I still sing: Andy Stein, Andy Stein Where were you at voting time? At the State Assembly see an empty chair Andy Stein just wasn’t there. There is just no excuse To miss a vote on child abuse At the State Assembly see an empty chair Andy Stein just wasn’t there. And another cigarette one: You can take Salem out of the country BUT You can’t take the country out of Salem. Andy Stei ---

I used to have a Frito Bandito pencil eraser. It was _really_ strange when I heard the Three Tenors sing the Firto Bandito song in Italian. (or something very like Italian) ---

Clicking on “View Song in Browser” will allow you to see (and hear) one version. The tune was even used in ads for the Isuzu Amigo SUV. **Shoshana** : The jingle I remember was set to the tune of the USA Civil War-era song [_Goober Peas_](http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Cafe/4093/goober.html) and went as follows: “Goobers, Raisinets Chocolate-covered treats Raisinets and Goobers Mighty good to eat!” **Zebra** : You probably heard the Three Tenors singing the Spanish-language standard [_Cielito Lindo_](http://www.n2.net/clairemont/Student/cielito.html), the title of which means “Beautiful Little Heaven”. ---

I heard this catchy tune in Singapore around 1993. I came back to the US soon afterward, and none of my friends recognized it when I sang it for them. Only in college did I find someone who recognized the tune. She came from Ghana and suggested that this particular ad campaign might have been aired only outside the US. > [@](#): > > Whenever there’s a pool, there’s always a flirt. > Whenever there is school, there’ll always be homework. > Whenever there’s a beat, there’s always a drum. > Whenever there is fun there’s always Coca-Cola. > > The stars will always shine; the birds will always sing. > Whenever there is thirst there’s always the real thing. > Coca-Cola is always the one. > Whenever there is fun there’s always Coca-Cola.

**Deodorant** : _Confident! Confident! Dry and secure! Raise your hand… Raise your hand if you’re Sure!_ **Cereal** : _You can do it! You can do the Pac Man Crunch!_ **Last but not least** : _I don’t wanna grow up I’m a Toys R Us kid_ There’s a million toys at Toys R Us That I can play with From bikes to trains To video games It’s the biggest toy store there is (Gee whiz!)

My personal favorite: “So round, so firm, so fully packed!” Originally for Lucky Strike cigarettes, but can be applied to so many other things. SC ---

Trickle, trickle, trickle, trickle, Nickel, nickel, nickle, nickle, Trickle, trickle, tricklem trickle!\* (I may have the ‘nickel’ and ‘trickle’ reversed, but I’m confident of the rest. . . .)

Welcome to the boards, **busybug**. Please be aware that we usually don’t want to resurrect seven year old threads like this, which we call “zombies” around here. I’m going to lock this down, but if you want to go on discussing this topic feel free to open a new thread in the Cafe Society forum.
