Favorite Ads?

I recently found myself humming "My beer is Rheingold, the dry beer. . . " and I then started going through all the old radio jingles I could remember. Anyone wanna step into the Wayback Machine and tell us your favorite old radio/TV jingles?

Here are a couple that came to mind immediately.

From the land of sky blue waters..Comes the beer refreshing, Hamms the Beer refreshing...Hamms.

"To Look Sharp" [Gillette Safety Razors and Razor Blades]
[aka: "Look Sharp March",

Clevelanders will remember this one instantly:

Garfield-One, Two three two three!
Garfield-One, Two three two three!

Atlantic keeps your car on the go!
For business -- for pleasure -- in any kind of weather --
Atlantic keeps your car on the go!

If you want to go places and do things,
What a pleasure your driving can be!
For quality products -- and Red Ball Service --
Your Atlantic Dealer is the man to see!

Atlantic keeps your car on the go-go-go---
So keep on the go with Atlantic!

This could be insanity inducing. I just started remembering the ads for Kauffman's Rye Bread in Buffalo "I'm the jolly little baker, take home a loaf of my delicious Kauffmann's rye bread . . . etc.,etc."
That Gillette ad is a classic. The Friday Night Fight's brought to you by Gillette Blue Blades!
What have I unleashed upon an unsuspecting world!!!

As a kid, I loved radio and TV ads. I am told that when I was around the age of five, I drove my parents crazy by repeatedly singing ads like this one:

When the values go up - up - up
And the prices go down - down - down
Robert Hall this season, will show you the reason
Low overhead...low overhead.

I had a nice Robert Hall suit in 1962. It cost $27!

C R E S T A... (Music) (C D E F G A)
B L A N C A... (G F E D C G,)
Cresta...(G, D)
Blanca...(E C)
Cresta Blanca. (G d e c E C) (Cork pops)

Cresta Blanca was a popular California winery in the 1940s and '50s.
Its simple, unforgettable jingle was played by a pizzicato string orchestra.

Those Volkswagon commercials with the "my fast". Those are so stinkin funny. "My Fast likes to drive with the windows down!" The whole time that poor gals hair is whippin all over the place! hahahaha!!!lol lol lol

[The Wolf]

This is from one of the last Green Hornet radio shows.
"Orange Crush. made from the essence of real Valencia oranges. Imagine an Orange Crush with a fried ham Sandwich. Two good things that are good for you."
I'm paraphrasing but that was essentially it.

Sincerely,
The Wolf

Ford had a great ad in 1956 sung by the Four Lads. It was based on their hit song "Standing on the Corner Watching All the Girls Go By". But for Ford it became:

Standing on the corner, watching all the Fords go by
Standing on the corner giving all the Fords the eye
Isn't it great, it's the Thunderbird's kissin' cousin...

So don't be standing on the corner, be the guy who's driving by!
