"SIX-SIX-SIX… SIX-SIX-SIXTY-SIXXXX! The number six! Going to the airport! The number six! Riding around town! Call Carmel! Shopping or a-moving! The number six! The best ride in town! For wherever you want to goooo, Carmel is the number to knoooooow! Ride Carmel and be on time, worldwide and nationwide! Six-six-six, six-six-sixty-sixxxxx… The number six!" If there's two things I can commend Carmel on, it's (A) using the hell (heh) out of the phone number "666-6666", and (B) creating such a damn catchy jingle with it. The commercial is regional to the NYC area, but having watched some local NYC TV stations via internet streaming and show recordings, Carmel’s jingle is always stuck in my head all the way down here in Texas! They actually do operate in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, so if I ever feel the pressing need to hire a limo, I’ll probably dial them. 😛 ---

This was on the air for just a few months in the late 60s but it’s been stuck in my memory ever since then. I found a video of it about a year ago: [\* Bringin’ home the oil, me boys Bringin’ home the oil Sailin’ all around the world Bringing home the oil A workin’ on a giant ship Is very hard, we toil Sailin’ in to Bantry Bay Bringin’ home the oil\*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAFMgt4FeK0) I’ve been looking for this one but haven’t found it yet: _We’re the rocker arm assembly, assembly We’re the rocker arm assembly And we don’t like dirt! But Mobil detergent gasoliiiiiiiiiiiine Keeps us running smooth and cleeeeeeean_ I remember a slogan _“Does your derriere have savoir faire?”_ but can’t remember what product was being advertised. Women’s undergarments perhaps? ---

“Makes muh lips buzz!” “Bad…breath…in dogs!” “Ring around the collar!” Not tagline per se, but “post nasal drip” and midriff bulge". Modern medicine must have obliterated those afflictions because they’re no longer in the news. ---
