Thread Name: Jingles you remember.
Subject: RE: Jingles you remember.
I found this example while searching the Internet for something else. Some folks from the UK might remember this ad:

"There's an ice cream van that has been coming around here on nights of resonable weather and the tune it plays is 'O Solo Mio' which a lot of Brits of a certain age will associate with a long running advert for walls ice cream Cornetto's and hence that is what I end up singing as the van comes around (Just one cornettoooo, give it to meeeeee, delicious ice cream from Italyyyyyy).I found an energetic version of this on the same tape as the Steve Reich and Prefab Sprout Interviews though I've only placed an extract here as the full tune is the only tune available on iTunes (link here iTunes required) from Pookiesnackenburger who I believe were from Brighton and who had founding members who went on to form Stomp.

All together now…

Just one Cornetto (extract)"
