Location: Upper Left USA | 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! |

...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.
Please resume your previous programs. |

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. |

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 |

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". |

Location: Waurika OK | 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.
