If there’s something I need to do, I’ll spend way too much time debating with myself how to do it, and do I need to do it today; would it be better to make a list; should said list be written out by hand, or a spreadsheet, maybe on the computer… and I have to remind myself of Nike’s classic slogan: Just Do It. ---

🎶 Mystery Date, are you ready for your Mystery Date? 🎵 🎵 First you start off with 2000 and a car (I got a car), you got a car Then you work(?) your way through college just to get a lot of knowledge (Harvard) Or to business, it’s the same, you’ll go as far. (I’ll be a star), you may go far. You will learn about life when you play the game of Life. (That’s life!) 🎶 From memory, some words are probably wrong. Bonus tidbit: I believe Martha Plimpton was one of the kids in the commercial. ---

I’m watching a documentary about Edwin Land on PBS right now. Barry Manilow did indeed write the jingle for the Polaroid Swinger. ---

I generally liked that Pearson ad because it had the name, pride of quality and location in two sentences. Yet I also liked the apparently live musicians singing the jingle. I wonder if that’s a rare occurrence now that ads are generated. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/really-good-advertising-jingles-slogans/1018679.md?page=2)
