Subject: RE: Jingles you remember. From: Jayto Date: 24 Aug 08 - 01:17 PM Another on that is burned forever in my mind is a public service ad that came on locally in the late 70's early 80's. I was a very young kid and can't believe I remember it at all. I used to actually play this commercial with a friend of mine. I would sit in a wagon with all my toys and he would pull me while I threw my toys out (simulating littering) and sing this song. When I ran out of toys I had I stick I would drop off the back of my wagon like my bumper fell off. The commercial had a guy in a beat up car driving down the road littering like crazy. At the end of the commercial he stopped on a hill overlooking Nashville Tn. and his bumper fell off while he kept littering. The song playing was Tennessee trash rolling down the highway Tennessee trash That is all I remember of the song but I remember the melody and all very well. I loved that commercial as a kid and it has burned itself deep into my memory lol. |

Subject: RE: Jingles you remember. From: Cool Beans Date: 24 Aug 08 - 01:48 PM Guest LaLa, I remember the Easy Glamor jingle (don't ask me how to spell the product). It had a sinister little tune, like the main theme from "The Sorcerer's Apprentice." You caa almost sing it to that theme. Easy, easy, easy does it With easy, easy, Easy Glamor Easy. I don't know what Easy Glamor did (or does). Clean? Polish? Both? |

Subject: RE: Jingles you remember. From: GUEST Date: 24 Aug 08 - 02:15 PM Yes, Cool Beans! It WAS a "sinister little tune"! I've tried a few times to google the product but to no avail. At least someone else remembers it so now I know I didn't make it up. Thanks. La |

Subject: The Plastic Song From: GUEST,Joe Date: 23 Sep 08 - 04:53 PM Does anybody out there remember a song from the mid to late 60s that has a song title that possibly is the "The Plastic Song"? Within the lyrics were: "you know it's plastic, oh yes it's plastic". Also, it included the lyrics that described: "she's 36-24-36, but she's plasic". |

Subject: RE: Jingles you remember. From: Bonnie Shaljean Date: 05 Oct 08 - 11:13 AM The jingle that blighted my tender youth was the Bonnie Dog Food commercial, an inane little earworm of a ditty which started out: Better buy Bonnie for your bow-wow [arf, arf] I cannot believe I've forgotten the rest of it! After having that sung at me throughout school, I thought it would be etched on the brain cells forever. Anybody remember the other lines? (And: Was the Bonnie Dog Food they sold in California made of kangaroo meat like its Oz cousins?) |

However, in retrospect, I'd say "We're going well, we're going Shell, we're going well with Shell, Shell, Shell," with Bing Crosby singing it, was probably shown on both sides of the pond. The more international the product, the more chance of it being shown globally. Always though it was sung by Michael Holiday!! |

Subject: RE: Jingles you remember. From: GUEST,MikeK Date: 19 Feb 09 - 02:06 PM There's one jingle that's been bouncing around my head for weeks now - at least the ending has, but for the life of me I cannot remember the beginning (the bit with the product name!), so when I came across this thread I jumped for joy. "Aha," said I, "It's sure to be in here!" I ploughed through the whole thread. No luck!! The jingle is from the UK, late 50's or early 60's, and the ending (to "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star")is: "...Luscious, dreamy simply heaven, twelve for ony one-and-seven." Someone, please help!!! |

Subject: RE: Jingles you remember. From: clueless don Date: 20 Feb 09 - 08:32 AM Bit-o-Honey goes a long, long, long way. If you have one head, it'll last all day! This jingle appeared at the end of an animated Bit-o-Honey commercial - it featured a many-headed monster of some sort, who was placated by being given a Bit-o-Honey bar. Bit-o-Honey bars, as I recall, were scored in a way that allowed one to break off several bite-sized pieces. As I recall. Don |

Subject: RE: Jingles you remember. From: VirginiaTam Date: 20 Feb 09 - 11:22 AM Bit o Honey. drool I was in the south eastern US last summer. Looked and looked everywhere for bit o honey, either bars to bite size pieces for 2 weeks and go no joy. Accidently found the bars in a little petrol station/store somewhere between Augusta Georgia and Raliegh Durham NC on the last day but one of the holiday. Wish I could remember where. The bars are still cut into rectangles and one sheet of waxed paper folded around each piece to keep them from sticking together. Anyway I picked up a load of them and brought back to UK. Sadly all gone now. However, my sister in law in Orlando, says the bite sized pieces in bags can be purchased from the Vermont Country Store online. |

Subject: RE: Jingles you remember. From: GUEST,CupOfTea, No cookies Date: 13 May 09 - 06:49 PM I got a kick out of this Frankenthread & to paraphrase an AlkaSeltzer commercial: I can't believe I read the WHOLLLLLE thing. I was surprised not to see one of my favorites from the 60's for Nestles. My Godfather worked for Nestles then, and he sent lots of things including a stuffed version of the puppet used in the commercials, a dog named Farfel. Though Nestles made choclate bars of various kinds, I think the product being advertised was Nestles Quick, a chocolate powder that you'd stir into milk. The dog puppet Farfel sang: "N - E - S - T - L - E - S. Nestles makes the very best! Choooooc (mouth wide open) LET!" ( Mouth drops shut with a wooden clacking sound) I find it gratifying to see evidence of my assumption that MOST places had phone numbers that had been used as the text to advertising jingles. You can identify folks from Northern Ohio by their ability to sing GArfield 1-2323. This was brought home to me in Chicago years ago, at a benefit, when all the locals sang back THEIR local phone number jingle to the performers. I also remember being more charmed by the MAYPO commercials than the cereal. We studied them in art school animation class - they were classics produced by some folks who made animated movies for the Film Board of Canada. They'd record their actual children, then animate fantasies, using the recordings as a sound track. The commercial captured some of that magic. Joanne in Cleveland |

Subject: RE: Jingles you remember. From: maple_leaf_boy Date: 01 Jun 09 - 07:26 PM Kibbles And Bits was a catchy jingle I remember. I miss jingles. I agree on the "commercial songs vs "work-for-hire" writers jingles" bit. They seem to be using more pop songs for commercials now, than hiring more jingle writers. What a nice way for someone to go to the unemployment line. It's all about the almighty dollar. Use a pop song hoping it would get more customers, thus making huge profits. Personally, I would rather jingles from a "work-for-hire" writer. I'd be more likely to buy the product. |

Subject: RE: Jingles you remember. From: Uly Date: 21 Aug 09 - 07:56 AM They seem to be using more pop songs for commercials now, than hiring more jingle writers. What a nice way for someone to go to the unemployment line. It's all about the almighty dollar. I don't know, I think getting the permission to do that probably costs them more money. There's probably more behind it - like that a lot of people found jingles too memorable and were irritated by them and therefore didn't buy the product or something. Like the Hillshire Farms commercials have a Go Meat jingle-thing, and I run to turn off the TV if it comes on. |
