"Not a jingle per se, but there was an ad (for batteries, I think) sometime in the mid to late 90's that had a video of some fake metal band singing a song that went "We're coming, coming, coming for your young, screaming at the top of our lungs" that consistently made me lose my shit."-- joygoat (joygoa...), January 24th, 2007.
Is making me think of THIS (in cartoon form with a lot of arm waving):
"All those jingles used to freak my mind. Especially the Tootsie Roll one, 'cuz the ad was a cartoon of basically everything in the world turning into large, brown turds."-- the new sincerity (bandfrumnoiz...), January 24th, 2007.

This might be regional, but someone in this thread must've heard it at least once, and if they have, they'll definitely know all the words:
"If you're looking for that oooh-ahhh feel / come to mattress giant / if you're looking for that ooh-ahh deal / we've got the best price / for that oooh-ahh bed / only at mattress giant/ ...ooooh, ahhhh / ....oooh, ahh / only at mattress giant / oooooooohhh, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...."

YES. With him flying around in a tan suit and cape. I grew up in the UP but used to get WKBD out of Detroit. Mel Farr is also listed in the liner notes of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On".
Another Detroit area (I think) jingle was for some construction company that went "No job's too big, no job's too small, we're Father and Son, we'll do it all". We also got WGN from Chicago so it might have been there - this is why I also remember the "588-2300 Empire" jingle.

"lookie, lookie, lookie - here comes COOKIE - COOK's PEST CONTROL"
"It's a honey of an 'o' , it's honey nut cheerios"
and my all time fave:
"when pizza is on a bagel, you can have pizza anytime!"
perhaps a local commercial, but jared's jewelers has a jingle "THATS JARED's!" that rules.

I've always loved the old-timey radio Sweet Adeline choral jingles for local rural banks and such. Very similar to the famous Empire jingle. It's hard to find examples online, but there used to be a lot of them and in the 80s they already sounded decades old.
