Location: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada | 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?

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! |

Location: Tennessee | 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". |

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.

Location: Madison, Wisconsin | 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. |

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!) |

Location: Las Cruces, NM | 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.

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.

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

Location: closely held secret | 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? |
