Thread Name: Jingles you remember.
Subject: RE: Jingles you remember.
A lot of the ads mentioned here (mainly from the US) were used on the British offshore 'pirate' radio stations in the mid 1960s (Kent cigarettes, Coca Cola, Consulate menthol cigarettes, Doublemint Gum, etc.). There were also these (among others): Findus Fresh, Start the Day with Weetabix, Sunsilk shampoo ("four kinds of..."), Vitalis, Bulova watches, Palmolive shaving cream("smoothest way to start the day"), Juicy Fruit gum, etc. Some of these were used on TV as well as radio.

Some of them were released in the UK on CDs in the 1990s, along with CDs containing the pirate stations' own station ID jingles, e.g. the famous PAMS jingles for Radio London and Radio England, Britain Radio, etc. Anyone remember them?

I don't think any of these CDs are still available but anyone interested might find them on ebay or somewhere.
