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 MeAnd John Denver gave us this one:
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.
A French jingle used by CKAC-AM, a Montreal radio station from the early 1970s who played well into the mid-1980s.

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."
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.

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".

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

The "Going thing" theme got some overseas adaptations like Australia.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OL3P1pP1wAQ
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.

I remember these. The music in these ads sounded like the song "Winchester Cathedral."
They brang these ads back about 10 years later.
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.
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.

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.

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!

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."

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.

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.
