Here's a jingle that brang laughs to 7-year olds everywhere.

"Open a jar of Pizza Quick Sauce...And open your own..." (Are you ready for it?) "...DIARRHEA!"

This was more overt.  Lots of fruity marshmallow sh**s:

The same melody was used for a commercial in the mid-'90s that showed people (and a dog) dancing around a kitchen. For the life of me, I don't remember what the product was.

Perhaps the most quintessential car jingle of all time:

"See the USA in your Chevrolet...America's the greatest land of all."

I remember that they brought it back shortly after the new millennium began, IIRC, and there were quite a few variants of it made.

And also used Bob Segar's song "Like a rock" for the truck ads from 1991 to 2004!

Ugh. I HATE bob seger and his brand of "whine rock." in every song he's whining about his youth. Get over yourself.

We used to tell a joke when that commercial aired.. 

How is a chevy like a rock?

It's big, ugly, and only goes places when you push it down a hill!
I'm never wrong, just wildly inaccurate.

I always loved this ad by Budweiser especially the whole song. Usually its cut short to fit in with the typical 30 second ad, but once in a while Anheiser Busch did spring for 2 full minutes to air the whole jingle.

Aaaaand, in the late 1970s, the University of Wisconsin Varsity Band adapted it as a secondary fight song.  It starts at about 0:30 in the clip.



Also, a true classic for Miller.  They we rerunning this jingle the last couple of seasons on Milwaukee Brewers' radio play-by-play broadcasts.



Another true classic from anyone who has ever spent time on the Minnesota or Wisconsin north woods!



Enjoy!

That's funny, although I know lots of owners like myself would take offense to that joke.

Try this on for size:

"Why is a Ford built tough?"

"It's very tough to start it up, and even tougher to get it to go anywhere."
Go Cubs Go! Go Cubs Go! Hey Chicago, what do you say? The Cubs are gonna win today!

I think that's true of all pickup trucks.

Anyone who remember the 1980s Juicy Fruit single?

Some stores lately sell a Juicy Fruit BUBBLE gum. Juicy Fruit never used to be labeled as BUBBLE gum, but this kind is. It never used to be designed for blowing bubbles, but apparently now they have a bubble-busting variant.

This was a radio jingle



When I was very young, tuning around on the radio on lazy warm weather afternoons, I'd catch that classic jingle while listening to Chicago Cubs games.

Clemson University's Tiger Tubas (I was a member for 7 years in the 90's, with co-operative education and two years of grad school) used this as their sectional cheer towards the end of each home game.  We would signal to each other by waving our hands with the thumb and pinky extended.

And this classic:



Amazing that the ad is 30 years old and still gets played actively now.

And yet, I'm still sick of hearing it ...

For Boston locals...

Who do you call when your windshield's busted
Call Giant Glass
1-800-54-GIANT
Done right, done fast

It's actually referenced in a Stephen King book (The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon).

They sadly were bought by Safelite Auto. Giant Glass used to sponsor the "giant" part of the lineup (batters 3 to 6) on the Red Sox radio broadcasts. Now it's the "Safelite Auto" stretch of the lineup, which really sounds asinine.

Pretty effective if you can remember a phone number 3 decades later.

Anyone who has lived for any amount of time in Chicagoland, especially during the later parts of the 20th century, will fondly remember "Five eight eight two three hundred Empire!".

I remember the Empire jingle from when I was a kid visiting my grandparents in Kentucky (1980s).  Had to be a broader business earlier on.
