According to Advertising Age, the top 10 U.S. jingles of the 20th century:

1) You Deserve a Break Today (McDonald's)

2) Be All That You Can Be (U.S. Army)

3) Pepsi Cola Hits the Spot

4) M'm, M'm, Good (Campbell's soup)

5) See the USA in Your Chevrolet

6) I Wish I was an Oscar Meyer Weiner

7) Double Your Pleasure, Double Your Fun (Wrigley's gum)

8) Winston Tastes Good Like a Cigarette Should

9) It's the Real Thing (Coca-Cola)

10) Brylcreem - A Little Dab'll Do Ya

Talk about earworms! I'm surprised that "Now It's Pepsi, For Those Who Think Young" didn't make the list.

Something that popped into my head years ago & refuses to leave:

There's a big trial going on now,
It's broadcast near & far.
You can watch it on your TV set,
Or listen from your car.
Some people watch it every day,
And if you ask them why they'll saaay-
To see Judge Ito have his way
With O.J. Simpson's DNA.

How's that?

From the Halls of Montezuma
To the Shores of Tripoli;
We will fight our country's battles
In the air, on land and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title
of United States Marine.

If referring the an officer who dishonored his oath and his brethren (Jack Nicholson)?

We have hit the dusty trail
As those caissions go rolling along

For it's hi hi ee

call out your numbers bright and strong
and where ever you go
you will always know
that those caissons go rolling along

Well Phil just for you here we go
lets see if I remember this right..

Come ride the little train that is rolling down the tracks to the junction. (Petticoat Junction)

Forget about your cares, it is time to relax at the junction. (Petticoat Junction)

Lotsa curves, you bet - even more when you get to the junction. (Petticoat Junction)


There’s a little hotel called the Shady Rest at the junction. (Petticoat Junction)

It is run by Kate, come and be her guest at the junction. (Petticoat Junction)

And that’s Uncle Joe, he’s a movin’ kind of slow at the junction. (Petticoat Junction)

And a Happy 229th Birthday to the Marines!

As usual, the Navy will deliver the cake and the Army corp of Engineers will set up the candles.

and thank you all.

Note: This is not a Jingle;
1. O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good
With brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

2. O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stem impassioned - stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul
In self-control,
Thy liberty in law!

3. O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife.
Who more than self the country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success
Be nobleness
And every gain divine!

4. O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good
With brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

Other sources confirm:

...stern, impassioned...

Also:
Katharine Lee Bates wrote the original version in 1893. She wrote the 2nd version in 1904. Her final version was written in 1913.

Sorry for coming in late on this - the fun is probly over but I just read the thread for the first time so it's now my turn.

Two all beef patties, special sauce lettuce cheese pickles onions on a sesame seed bun.

Tastes great...Less filling.

Head for the mountains.

Was "where's the beef" listed?

The doublemint twins. I know - not a jingle, but it's damn fine as a visual.

My beer is Rheingolds the dry beer
Think of Rheingolds whenever you buy beer
It's not bitter not sweet
but a dry flavored treat
Won't you buy some new Rheingolds today

Happy 229th Marines, as usual you are out their kicking ass on your birthday, this time in Falluja

Actually, the doublemint twins did have a jingle ... "Double your pleasure, double your fun ...". Hence all those visuals that were cooked up in our pre-pubescent years.

"If you've got the time, we've got the beer ... beer after beer ... Miller tastes too good to hurry through." Kinda like the twins.

or how about ...

"From the land of sky blue wa-aters ... comes the water best for brewing".

As a kid growing up in Southern California, the one that's stuck with me is the long defunct -- "Don't cook tonight, call Chicken Delight".

And of course, as someone mentioned earlier, the Cal Worthington song. This car dealer (with his dog Spot) ran on late night TV (when there were only two channels broadcasting at night, remember?), and had this little theme song that had (I believe) one of the Chapman clan playing banjo and words like the following:

If you need a car or truck, go see Cal
If you wanna save a buck, go see Cal
Save a nickel, save a dime
Lower prices everytime
Go see Cal, go see Cal, go see Cal.

If you need a set of wheels, go see Cal
I will stand upon my head to beat all deals
I will stand upon my head
till my ears are turning red,
Go see Cal, go see Cal, go see Cal.

If your axle is a draggin', go see Cal
Maybe need a station wagon, go see Cal
get a new car for your wife
she will love you all your life
Go see Cal, go see Cal, go see Cal.

But the automotive jingle of all time ... Dinah Shore singing "See the USA, in your Chevrolet".

As Alpep Would say if he had ever visited a farm in Ohio

Here's one from the 40's in the bay area, it is the first song I remember singing, probably because my dad made me quit singing it. (I was 3 or 4)
Sung to the tune of Clementine:

Burgermeister, Burgermeister, Burgermeister is the beer.
Burgermeister, Burgermeister, Burgermeister is the beer.

Now you have me reminiscing, teach you young whippersnappers to start this.

My uncle was a bartender in Oakland and he would bring me all the empty cig. pgks. so I could take the tin foil off the inside and put it on a big ball of foil I had at home. Anyone else remember when the packages had foil on them? Of course, I know Bailey does.

We used to do the same thing with gum wrappers ... you'd peel foil off the paper and make a big ball out of it. The rumor of course was that it was actually silver, but I think that was Mom's way of keeping us occupied through the summer months!

What an amazing part of part of our culture at this point. The fact that most of us can remember almost all of these and can probably add some kind of association to each one is incredible. Imagine what our brains COULD be full of if it wasn't for the TV! It's no wonder I can't memorize new lyrics.

Scheib started out at $49.95. It took a while for the price to get up to $69.95. And that $49.95 included painting pretty much everything--door handles, license plates. . . .

"Hello there. My name is Fred Bartles and this is Ed Jaymes. You know, it occurred to Ed the other day that between his fruit orchard and my premium grade wine vineyard, we could make a truly superior premium-grade wine cooler. It sounded good to me. So Ed took out a second on his house, and wrote to Harvard for an MBA, and now we’re preparing to enter the wine cooler business. We will try to keep you posted on how it’s going. And thank you for your support." (I actually used to drink these by the case!)

I don't want to be critical, but I was around when:

"Lucky Strike Green Has Gone to War"

There was some speculation that their (Lucky Strike's) marketing wanted to go to a red background and so tried to get a little good karma by making it a patriotic thing. The explanation was that the green dye was needed for all those olive drab uniforms.

It was, shawn

They printed the color on each item in very small print. If you needed glasses, you were known as "color blind".

If you looked up, you saw "BLUE" as a cloud formation, and, in summer, the trees had big, leafy formations that said "GREEN". In fall, the leaves would rearrange themselves and form words like "ORANGE", "RED", "OCHER", "BROWN" and in small print whispers of "violet", "sunset red", "mauve", and "wrinkly faded tan". Looking accross the fields of corn, you could see the words "Green" in spring and early summer, slowly morphing into "TAN' and "BROWN" with occasional tassels saying "GOLDEN", and a flash of "Yellow" where a husk had split showing the ripe corn.

Cows had patterns of text such as "black". "white", "tan", "golden brown" etc.. Horses were tattooed with "bay", "strawberry roan", "dapple gray", Beautiful Palomino" etc..

Our tractor and combine had decals that said "FARMALL RED", our manure spreader had one that said "Allis Chalmers shit spattered orange", as the markings were very descriptive.

I had a Kay arch top guitar that even had a decal that said "lousy looking scratched up cheap brown sunburst". My '37 Ford sedan had licence plates saying "faded gray body, shiny black front fenders" as my uncle had replaced the fenders shortly before he sold it to me.

If you couldn't read, you lived a colorless life so school was much more important and was attended by all but the dolts who went on to form a monochromatic form of art and photography called "Black and White" which you have referred to.

Bailey (shirt, olive; pants, blue denim; sandals, brown leather; face, flesh tone to reddish; hair, blondish brown (dishwater); eyes, blue; hands, flesh and black from working on old Toyota; beard, same as hair; belt, brown leather with touches of red highlights)

You can see how tough it was to communicate back then!!

Calvin: How come old photographs are always black and white? Didn't they have color film back then?

Dad: Sure they did. In fact, those old photographs are in color. It's just that the world was black and white then. The world didn't turn color until sometime in the 1930s, and it was pretty grainy color for a while, too.

Calvin: But then why are old paintings in color?! If the world was black and white, wouldn't artists have painted it that way?

Dad: Not necessarily. A lot of great artists were insane.

Calvin: But... But how could they have painted in color anyway? Wouldn't their paints have been shades of gray back then?

Dad: Of course, but they turned colors like everything else did in the '30s.

Calvin: So why didn't old black and white photos turn color too?

Dad: Because they were color pictures of black and white, remember?

Back in the days of greasy kid stuff:
"Brylcream, a little dab will do ya,
They love to run their fingers through your hair"

Double meaning:
"Show us your Lark"

Thirsty:
"Schaffer is the....one beer to have when your having more than one"

My 2 cents
