Mr. Clean gets rid of dirt and grime and grease in just a minute.
Mr. Clean will clean your whole house and everything that’s in it.
Brushless or lather boys, whichever you’ve the notion.
Fifty cents for shaving cream, a dollar for the lotion.
“Old Spice means quality.”, said the Captain to the Bos’n.
So look for the package with the ship that sails the ocean.
Oh I wish I was an Oscar Meyer wiener
That is what I truly want to be
Cos’ if I was an Oscar Meyer wiener
Everyone would be in love with me!
Red Wigglers
The Cadillac of worms!
Sung to the tune of the CanCan.
“Hey Phil,
did you hear that rumble?”
“It was my old tum, Bill,
crying out for something good and tasty, you know.”
“How now, ain’t you heard of Tau-Tau?”
“Tau-tau chicken? Great fowl!”
“Ooh I think I’ll give the wife a call now.
My missus cooks it up just right,
I could have it every night!”
“Tau-tau’s juicy, easy choosey,
that’s what you need in your tummy.”
“Tau-tau, and we want it now now,
cos it’s pretty good chow,
Tau-tau chicken at your store right now.”
Which instantly brought on the Ren and Stimpy flashback
What rolls down stairs
alone or in pairs,
and over your neighbor’s dog?
What’s great for a snack,
And fits on your back?
It’s log, log, log
It’s log, it’s log,
It’s big, it’s heavy, it’s wood.
It’s log, it’s log, it’s better than bad, it’s good."
As for me, it’s the old Coke ad. I remembered the whole thing even before googling.
On a hilltop in Italy
We assembled young people
From all over the world
To bring you this message
From Coca-Cola Bottlers
All over the world
It’s the real thing - Coke.
And they sang…
I’d like to buy the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees
And snow white turtle doves.
Chorus:
I’d like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I’d like to buy the world a Coke
And keep it company
That’s the real thing.

When the hungries hit,
When the hungries hit,
Hit the Red Barn.
Thanks, loads, now I got The Association’s “Windy” conflated with a Slinky commercial stuck in my head!
Ho Ho Ho Greeeeen Giant.
Rice-a-roni, the San Francisco treat!
In an old Archie comic, Reggie tells Midge “L.S.M.F.T.”, within Moose ’ s earshot. Jughead says that means “let’s smooch, my fine tomato!” You can guess what happens next.
I can bring home the Bacon!
Fry it up in a Pan!
And Never, Never, Never let you forget You’re a Man!
'Cause I’m a Woman!
Enjoli!
Minnesotan of a certain age (and possible the upper Midwest in general):
Old Dutch potato chips
Old Dutch the snappy chip
crispy , crunchy, light and munchy
Old Dutch potato chips!
N-E-S-T-L-E-S, Nestles makes the very best
From coast to coast
McDonald’s sells the most
hamburgers today.
So why don’t we
take the family,
and ride into McDonald’s right away.
An ad for a roller-skating monkey:
Clancy’s great, look at him skate
Just like a girl or boy,
Clancy’s great, he can roller skate,
He’s a wonderful Ideal toy!
This one reminds me of a MAD satirical ad from the 1960s:
Photo of a cemetery.
Headstone 1: “Winston tasted good, like a cigarette should’ve.”
Headstone 2: “You mean, ‘Winston tasted good, AS a cigarette should’ve.’”
Headstone 3: “What did you want, good grammar or good taste?”
Headstone 4: “I wanted to live a lot longer!”
Clop!
The Nestle’s dog puppet was named Farfel, and he usually ended the song by snapping his mouth shut with a clopping sound. This came about by accident: when auditioning for the commercial, Jimmy Nelson (the puppet operator) screwed up by letting his fingers slip off the mouth controls. The executives liked the effect and decided to keep it. You can see it here. Jan Smithers imitates this by clapping her hands together at the end of the jingle.
And now all lets sing the Bare Naked Ladies’s “Its All Been Done”, as I was going to add a few jingles for Great Bear, Automobile School of America, Pocono Gardens Lodge…which it turns out I had posted a few year ago in this thread :smack:.
ETA: And someone else in that thread posted the Rickels Home Center jingle I was planning to (“Rickels helps you do it better - do it better with Rickels”), so I have been foiled once again by our past selves :mad:
The McDonalds theme I remember from the 1970s was “You deserve a break today - So get up and get away - To McDonalds” - nothing as fancy as what RTFirefly posted.
“Ancient Chinese secret, huh?”
“You got your chocolate in my peanut butter!” “No, you got your peanut butter all over my chocolate!”
“Ooey, gooey, rich and chewy inside,
Golden flaky, tender cakey outside,
Put the inside in the outside,
Is it good? You’re darn tootin’!
The big Fig Newton!”
“Sometimes you feel like a nut,
Sometimes you don’t,
Almond Joy’s got nuts, Mounds don’t.
Sometimes you feel like a nut,
Sometimes you don’t!”
South Central PA here.
It is THE earworm. What’s scary is I actually like the music.
In the 80’s it was that song where they list every item on the menu: “Big Mac McDLT Quarter Pounder with Cheese…” etc. I used to know it off by heart.
