Stupid advertising jingles

They do this to the music from Jenny and I immediately forget who they are and what phone number they use.

Some oldies here.

“Chock Full o’ Nuts is that wonderful coffee
Better coffee a millionaire’s money can’t buy!”

or the insipid

“International House of Pancakes - fun to do.
International House of Pancakes - just for the fun of it, ooo.”

Between this stupid song and the ads where low-level celebrities tell me it’s okay if I drink a Diet Coke, or not, I’m thinking Coca-Cola needs a new advertising agency, bad.

My contribution is a local radio ad jingle (they’re always the worst) that consists of these lyrics, sung incredibly soulfully:

Take I-25 to Exit 235
Then 5 miles west to the Tree Farm!

Even the Bert Parks version? IIRC, the company got him to sing the jingle in a commercial aired during the first Miss America pageant following his replacement.

Here’s a local one I just started hearing, for The Barnes Firm:
“Call 1-800-Eight Million”

“When you use 'Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific Shampoo/Boys say ‘Gee, your hair smells terrific’ to you!”

Did you fact-check? Or does your memory work better than mine? :smiley:

I think they play it every other inning break during Diamondbacks games. Since I never leave the room at the commercials, I see them ALL over and over and over. It’s stuck in my head now…

I now have the damn “Safelite repair, Safelite replace” mucked up with Life lock.

I’m done with “Wayfair, you’re just what I need!”.

I remember " S T P, you need your STP…one little can… keeps you running free." Then ending with “when engines need a friend… you must agree… that friend is STP!”
What’s in the middle I don’t recall.

How about “Plop Plop Fizz Fizz, Oh What a Relief It Is”?

An oldie but a goodie: Ace is the place with the helpful hardware folks.

How long did it take them to figure out women could be helpful and know hardware.

Yeah, and that share a Coke song borders on pornography.

It always reminds me of this Tom Lehrer classic.

He’s my recollection (some of my words differ from yours; can’t say who is correct any more. That commercial seems to be lost forever lost)

S T P you need some STP
One little can can keep you running free
Smooooother, cooler, quieter, longer too
The Racer’s Edge was made for YOU-OO
[I can’t remember the next two lines, so I 'll use yours]
When engines need a friend
You must agree

You need some STP

I know well that memory is a tricky thing. What I do know is, I can’t listen to Carmen without adding these lyrics. They’re more insidious in my brain than the Gilligan’s Island version:

Neither a borrower nor a lender be,
Do not forget: Stay out of debt;
Think twice, and take this good advice from me,
Guard that old solvency.
There’s just one other thing you ought to do,
To thine own self be true.

Instead of “The Racer’s Edge was made for you”, I remember “STP was made for you”

In 2011 we were in Italy visiting my uncle at a hospital. He was in the rehabilitation room, which had a TV on and suddenly I heard what sounded like the Safelite jingle in Italian. I looked up and sure enough, it was a Safelite ad.

Call 1-800-588-2300, EMPIIIIIIIIIIIIIRE!

Breathe happy, Febreze, la, la, la, la, la.

That *is *the GI version.

I wonder how many people drive their car into a tree when that stupid jingle comes on. I can see it being just the last straw to drive someone over the edge.
