when I am old and grey and can't remember my own name, these ad jingles will still be in my head as they have been since I was tiny (I am now 55)

Prince Spaghetti (a local brand in the northeast)

Wednesday is Prince day, say what a treat!
Wednesday is Prince day, up and down the street
Gals making noodles, spaghetti and sauce
Putting elbows on the table
Even brand new brides are able
This very Wednesday, start serving Prince!
Brighten Wednesdays up with Prince!


Prestone anti-freeze - this one used to scare me as it was sung to menacing music

Never pick up a stranger
Don't put your car in danger
Pick up Prestone Anti-Freeze!

And one for a carpet cleaning place whose name escapes me but whose phone number is forever etched on the gray matter.

How many cookies did Andrew eat?
Andrew ate eight thousand
How do you keep your carpets neat?
Cal Andrew 8-8000




Can't wait to hear yours. Wish I could send the music too.

Not a jingle but my son always say Pudding just like Bill Cosby did in the commercial. I sing the Oscar Mayer weiner song and Oscar Mayer bologna song. Kids think I'm crazy. Gotta have fun.

right, forgot about the Oscar Mayer songs!! They are in there too, etched in the stone that is my brain.

For the silver-haired folks

I wonder where the yellow went
When I brush my teeth with Pepsodent

Or: En-cy-clo-pe-di-a, e-n-c-y-c-l-o-p-e-d-i-a

Oops. That last wasn't advertising. But that has always stuck in my head with years of Mickey Mouse Club at our house.

How about this one:

Hey kids do you know what time it is?

It's Howdy Doody Time!

Stell dir 'mal vor, da ist ein Platz du weisst schon wo. Da schenkt man dir ein Laecheln und sagt, "Einfach gut, bei Mc Donalds ist es einfach gut!"

I know it doesn't rhyme in english, just want to translate.

Think about a place, you remember where, they give you a smile and say,
"Simply good, with Mc Donalds it's just simply good!

(European version) :P

When you brush your teeth with Pepsodent

Brush-a brush-a brush-a
New Ipana toothpaste

I think this one was from the Mutual of Omaha insurance commercial in the Marlin Perkins show where he would always show Jim out getting mauled by the wild animals and he would stay back in a safe place: Call 800-228-98 hundreeeed (the number was sung and I can sing it to you)

Brylcreme, a little dab'll do ya!
Brycreme, you'll look so debonair.
Brylcreme, a little dab'll do ya!
They'll love to get their fingers in your hair!

These are not jingles, but I still remember them...

This thread is evil. Now these jingles are stuck in my head.

The Best Part of Wakin' Up is Folgers in Your Cup. ...

Yes, Howdy Doody time......several years ago Buffalo Bob and others came to a local shopping center and I was so excited. I took my two girls to be part of the "peanut gallery" and they thought that was the most stupid thing they had ever done ! Keep in mind this was way before the computer/internet.....their idols were Sesame Street and others of that era....

Who wears short shorts? We wear short shorts!

I have a friend, same age as me, who reports at age 3 she stood up on the pew in church and sang this out at the top of her lungs!!

No one in our family drank beer, but -

"My beer is Rheingold the dry beer, think of Rheingold whenever you buy beer"

"Miller High Life, the champagne of bottled beer"

"When you say Budweiser, you've said it all"

And I hate beer lol!!

I used to work for a rather conservative Christian company; went to an outing at my boss' house and we had a game something about songs....HIS kids started singing 99 bottles of beer on the wall....oh that was great !

I'm a Pepper, she's a Pepper, he's a Pepper
Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper too????

I'd like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony. . . .

Friends of mine went thru old ciggy jingles... You've come along way baby. Show us your Lark.

Brusha,brusha,brusha, with the new Ipana - it's dandy for your teeth...

Probably for the rest of the day and into the night :!:

It's a plane, It's a plane, It's a plane.

I have to laugh...can't help it, but the last thing playing on the radio when I shut off my car sticks in my head all day. I still remember 8 hours of singing/humming "Hey are you a New Freedom lady??"" Sheer torture!!

I also liked Coke's "I'd Like to Teach The World To Sing".

I really am enjoying this thread. Thanks to the person who started it!

Thanks for the memories. Loved them then, love them now.

actually I was thinking of jingles, not just slogans - the kind of thing you can amaze your GK's with.

Here is another one, not advertising but I heard it on the radio and can still repeat it perfectly 40 years later.

One hen

Two ducks

Three squawking geese

Four limerick oysters

Five corpulent porpoises

Six pair of Don Alverzo's tweezers

Seven thousand Macedonians in full battle array

Eight brass monkeys from the ancient sacred crypts of Egypt

Nine apathetic, sympathetic, diabetic, old men on roller skates with a marked propensity towards procrastination and sloth

Ten lyrical, spherical diabolical denizens of the deep who hall stall around the corner of the quo of the quay of the quivery, all at the very same time.


Now, who can sing the entire "See the USA in your Chevrolet"? as sung by Dinah SHore in 1952?

Wonder when someone would remember "See the USA in your Chevrolet"

Great topic, lots of fun and memories
