Thread Name: Jingles you remember.
Subject: RE: Jingles you remember.
Oh, geez. Now I've got a bunch of them running around my brain & they won't stop til I type them up. If you are nice people and want me to help me retain my sanity, you'll fill in the missing words...

Mobil:
We're the rocker arm assembly,
Assembly, assembly,
We're the rocker arm assembly
And we don't like dirt!
   A detergent gasoleeeeeene
   Helps keep your engine running smooth and cleeeeeeen -
It's Mobil, oh 'tis Mobil gasoline!


The STP commercial (sung to the tune of the Toreador song from Carmen)
STP! You need some STP!
One little can keeps it running free!
[something], cooler, quieter, more precise,
[something something something] nice
[something something] we all agree
The best is STP!


Shell (I think):
Bringin' home the oil me boys,
Bringin' home the oil,
Workin' all around the world
Bringin' home the oil,
[something] on a giant ship,
[no clue this line here]
Sailin' into Bantry Bay
Bringin' home the oil.


Hamm's beer:
From the land of sky-blue waters - (echo: wa-ah-ters)
Comes the water best for brewing
Hamm's the beer refreshing
Never stops refreshing you...


Bay gasoline:
[there's a verse before this]
When you're driving down that superhighway
It's a great feeling to know
Bay is designed to match Michigan weather,
Whether it's hot or cold!
Bay gasoline has Dow
Get Dow knowhow
Get Dow knowhow with every drop of Bay!


Chef Boyardee:
At lunchtime the bell tolls
Spaghetti and meatballs
For you and for me
From Chef Boyardee!


Yipes! Stripes! Beechnut gum!


Oh, and I learned the Empire jingle (988-2300 Empire!) from spending way too many hours taping _The Wild Wild West_ off of WGN.


Thread creeplet: anybody know all the words to that Jimmeny Cricket safety movie we had to watch in grade school? The chorus went:
I'm no fool, nosirree
I'm gonna live to be 33! [number got larger each verse]
Let's play safe for you and me,
'Cause I'm no fool!


I really, really need to get to work!!!
