The Best Jingle Ever Thread

break me off a piece of that kit kat bar.

BUT the hands down winner (canucks, you know what I'm talking about) has got to be:
Fabricland FABRICLAND!
(yes, americans, you read that correctly, it's the company name, sung once slow, then once fast... and it'll stick in your brain.)

Whoever's writing these has a good rekkid collection.

Oh, howbout this: "In-TEL in-SIDE!" (Lyrics inferred, tho not "actually" sung, of course.)

MOST. BUDGET. EVER.

I count "Adam's Real Life", "That's Jared", 1970s Broadway musicals, and the Fraggle Rock theme among my main influences.

"The name of the game is Light-Works !"

"Sprite, Makes, the Mellon-Ball Bounce !"

"Try Vicks, Medicated Cough Drops (cough !)"

Annnnd so on

That's my favourite

I mentioned before that, tho I've never left Ontario, I've lived in three different towns right on the Michigan border! (Upper peninsula once, lower peninsula twice.) I can reminisce about Detroit/Saginaw/Flint TV, no problem. (Mel Farr, Superstar! We do good work! Never eat spinach with a stranger!)

Bernie and Phyl's...quality, comfort and price!...(that's nice)...

To lead, not to FOL-low...

I hate the way the 800 is so shoehorned in there, though.

I believe he wrote:

Like a good neighbor State Farm is there

(I'm glad someone out there does agree with my old man rant about Empire's 800 dealy though)

Maybe this will...

My dad would not stop talking about Firestone and their "where the rubber meets the road" jingle this weekend, so I went looking for it on youtube and found this

It seems to be Portuguese or Brazilian, and does not have the same tune. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

That would be this:

that's it!

That one is way before my time. The only tire jingle I remember is for Goodyear, circa 1982, went something like this:

There's good times 'round the corner
Good times, wherever you are
Goodyear tires and Goodyear service for
more good years in your car

Catchy jingle but I can't find it online. It showed a kid rolling a tire town the sidewalk at the beginning.

But I did find *this*, which somehow I don't think Goodyear really used:

Also this one, which doesn't have a jingle, just background music, but I'm posting just for the O_o <i>OMG</i>WTFness of it. Kids, if you want to know why we needed a "women's movement" in the '70s and onward, it's because it was once deemed acceptable by much of society for a well-respected business to run an advert like this one:

Goodyear. Because women are helpless weaklings, and what will happen if your wife gets a flat and there's NO MAN AROUND????

Regional obviously, but a classic. There was an earlier version that I can't find that ended "The road starts right here!" But I guess they updated it and decided to plug the name one more time instead.

Trying to work your phone number into a jingle is a losing proposition IMO unless it's really memorable or it rhymes or something.

LOL that's great!

> Anything by Randy Newman. Can't remember what products they were for, however.

Here you go! Written by Randy Newman and Jake Holmes, still see ppl wearing "Be A Pepper" t-shirts 25 years after they last used this jingle

Eight, sir; seven, sir;
Six, sir; five, sir;
Four, sir; three, sir;
two, sir; one!

You'd think, but for some reason I can still sing the number for Sheraton Hotels: "800-325-3535"

this really is the best ever

Donna Summer sells mattresses!

that jingle would work even better for this one:

I absolutely CANNOT believe the Mentos jingle isn't on here, that was the most infectous, hateable, awesome piece of commercial music ever made! I haven't heard it since what, 1999? And I still remember ever note "DO DO DO DOOOOO DO DO, DO-WAAAAAA!! It doesn't matter what comes, fresh goes better with life, with Mentos fresh and full of life!" HOW did you guys forget about this???

also, I know it's not a real jingle, but the Tim & Eric "Rolo Tony" jingle is really one of the greatest things ever:

"Rolo Rolo Tony, working on the factory floor/making chocolate Rolos, for the kids to buy at the store/And when he makes it through the day/the children gather round and say/Rolo Tony, Brown Town/Check yourself out at the door/Give us all some Rolos, you know you got to give us some more/of those Rolos"

see I just typed that from memory

I always liked this jingle because it's catchy as all hell, yet it break all the usual rules of writing catchy jingles - it's musically complex, continuously changing, full of unusual chord changes, and never repeats a melodic phrase even once. It was used from the late '70s into the '00s, dropped for awhile, but revived a few years ago.
