As some of you know, I host a website: Blackcatter's World of TV Theme Lyrics

And am constantly looking for lyrics for the site. Gonna post some request here. Was thinking about putting a whole bunch in one thread, but they're from different generes so hopefully listing a bunch seperately will work better.

These are 6 advertising jingles - if you remember them, please help with the lyrics.

-----------

Your Hit Parade (NBC 1950 - 58, with Raymond Scott and his Orchestra; CBS 1958 - 59, with Harry Sosnik and his Orchestra; CBS 1974, with Milton DeLugg and his Orchestra)

Open Jingle/Theme 1: "Be Happy, Go Lucky"

aka: "Be Happy - Go Luckies" and "L.S. Jingle No. 2"

Composer: Raymond Scott, employee of The American Tobacco Company.

----------------------------

Pabst Blue Ribbon Bouts / Fight Of The Week (boxing)

CBS 1948 - 1955; CBS 1951, re-run under "Blue Ribbon Classics"; Syndicated, re-runs via CBS films "Blue Ribbon Classics"

Theme: "What'll You Have? (Pabst Blue Ribbon)"

The melody was adapted from the traditional nursery tune "Ten Little Indians"...In contrast to the published sheet music title which John says is simply "What'll You Have?" -- using the contraction "What'll" (the way the lyrics were) -- the BMI Repertoire database lists the title as follows: "What Will You Have (Legal Title)";

Bill Gale was a prolific composer/performer of polkas and polish songs who also wrote a few commercial jingles;

music by Bill Gale and lyric by Irvin J. Wagner

The finest beer is the best to buy
That's why you're smart when you rely
On Q-U-A-L-I-T-Y
Drink Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer

Pepsi Cola hits the spot
Twelve full ounces, that's a lot
Twice as much for a nickle, too
Pepsi Cola is the drink for you
Nickle, nickle, nickle,nickle
Trickle, trickle, trickle, trickle

Circa the 1940's

Slight drift: Did the phrase "Happy go lucky" originate with the jingle?
