Subject: RE: BS: Candidates for WORST ad slogan/jingle
Mbo reminded me of another matress store jingle from my area, from Matress Giant. The commercial has this big skinhead cartoon grinning and sliding across the screen, while a woman sings something like: "If you want that oooooooh-aaaaaahhh feel, come to Matress Giant!" It ends with the woman groaning orgasmically.

I remember bits and pieces of bad cereal commercials from my childhood... Blank-eyed, goose-stepping, Smurfs, insistently chanting that "Smurfberry Crunch® is fun to eat!" ... The one for Pac Man Cereal® REALLY sucked, but I'm currently trying to block that one out... Blehhh...

And the 'Menards' song. One of those stores where you buy tools and wood and patio doors. This frightening little gnome with a permanent smile/grimace excitedly telling us what's on sale, while corny banjo music plays in the background. This is layered between men and/or women singing about how you're going to 'Save big money, when you shop Menards!!!!!!!!... SAVE BIG MONEY AT MENAAAAAAAAARDS!!!!" Scary.
