Classic Jingles

[roadman65]

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.

A jingle from an ad you'd never see on TV today:

One that The Doors paid tribute to at the end of Touch Me

And John Denver gave us this one:

Mentos

Remember "Marathon's got it" for Marathon Oil? Everyone always says I'm making it up, but Marathon ran a radio commercial back around 1988 that used that song. I can't remember any of the other words. I think it was sung by a guy with a weird voice.

[Stephane Dumas]

A French jingle used by CKAC-AM, a Montreal radio station from the early 1970s who played well into the mid-1980s.

Anyone remember the Slinky?

I do.  Reminds me of this one

And here's some that will remind you of Saturday mornings.

I remember "All the right parts in all the right places" for NAPA. We always used to go, "All the right farts in all the right faces."

[Henry]

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!

Senior year of high school for me, around May 1996, I was working at one of the Papa Gino's in my hometown. They played typical 70's/80's pop/rock over the radio in there. "Like a Rock" comes on and a co-worker, a classmate of mine, looks at me dead serious and tells me he never knew it was a real song.

Mid-2000's Ford had an F-series pick up commercial. It starts with a guy backing his Silverado + boat into the water, and the Silverado sinking when he forgets to put it in park once stopping. The F150 driver pulls out Silverado and boat with the F150, and when the Silverado driver comments "That sunk fast", the F150 driver replies, "yeah, like a rock".

John Amos with a broom at 0:16.  Supposedly, that commercial was the reason why Eddie Murphy wanted him (Amos) to play the boss of the fictional McDowell's in the 1988 movie Coming to America.

Back when they had some semblance of pride. Anson Williams is also on here.

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!"

Yeah, "Ford had a better idea" because it's "Going thing".

The "Going thing" theme got some overseas adaptations like Australia.

Speaking of overseas versions, "Baseball, Hot dogs, Apple pies and Chevrolet" became "football, meat pies, kangaroos, Holden" Down Under in Australia and "Braaivleis, Rugby, Sunny Skies and Chevrolet" in South Africa.

Who remembers the commercials of Wendy's from the 1970's?

I remember these. The music in these ads sounded like the song "Winchester Cathedral."

They brang these ads back about 10 years later.

[bandit957]

I also remember how in commercials for hamburger places (or places that served sandwiches similar to hamburgers), it always showed a close-up of the burger, and a person's hand would always come down and press down on the top bun.

[bandit957]

Remember the horribly annoying Toy Money commercial from 1990? I think they used to show it during 'The Simpsons'. It was a cross-promotion by Coke and Mattel toys.

Yep, Edward Herrmann, aka FDR from Annie.

That's the guy, couldn't remember his name.  Man things certainly have changed since Dodge was promoting all those stodgy practical cars back then versus now with all the "Brotherhood of Muscle"  stuff now.
