WARNING! Do not continue to read this thread unless you want to be haunted by one of those damned ear worms from radio or television ads.
That being said, I just had one pop into my head & felt it necessary to plague my kids with it, so I pulled it up on YouTube & sure as hell, now it's stuck in their heads too.
Remember the almond joy/mounds "sometimes you feel like a nut"?
Or the Coca-Cola "I'd like to buy the world a Coke"?
Or even "where's the beef?"?
There are countless more, let's hear yours. _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.
GOFUNDYOURSELF, quit asking everyone to do it for you!
An air cooled VW will make you a hoarder.
Do something, anything, to your project every day, and you will eventually complete it. |

Go ahead hum a few bars of "Where's the beef?.."
I dare ya.. Not sure who's humming that one to ya??
but, IT WAS NOT A JINGLE> it was a Slogan
If this is slogans too.. I got to go with
"When you're really good they call you Cracker Jack"
Jingles.. stuck in my head..
Oscar Mayer
“My bologna has a first name, it’s O-S-C-A-R”
Band aid
“I am stuck on band-aid, because my band-aid is stuck on me”
How I always remember whats on a Big Mac
“Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun”
Dr. Pepper
“I’m a pepper, he’s a pepper, she’s a pepper, wouldn't ya like to be a pepper too?”
and who could forget..
Meow Mix..
“Meow, meow, meow, meow....”
and the Doublemint Twins.. ..
Oh and you're welcome for the topic inspiration ???? must have been that Boob Tube comment in the other topic..

"Ohhh yeahhh ", I may as well let the Koolaid guy respond. Yes, slogans too. Maybe you gave me the topic idea subconsciously but it was the Tang thing that brought it forward. & dammit, you had to fire the meow mix one as one of the first examples, now it's stuck in my head. _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.

Probably not correct, but this is what I remember and I can't find it online -
A-new-y, a-new-y, a-Kellogs a-bringa you
a new kind a break-a-fast cereal
Him puffed and toasted nice
Him Kellogs PuffaPuffa Rice
and there were all kinds of car jingles

As a recovering Pepsi collector, I have a full set of Pepsi jingles on my hard drive... and some other soda pop radio/TV jingles as well, and any of them can "earworm" on me at random. _________________ Andy T.

So, here is your Pepsi "earworm" for the day….One of my favorite t-shirts as a 70's teen had the Pepsi jingle/slogan:
"Lipsmackinthirstquenchinacetastinmotivatingoodbuzzincooltalkinhighwalkinfastevergivincoolfizzin...Pepsi"
with no spaces nor punctuation. I still remember it well. |

My favourite was an old 7-up shirt. The slogan was "Make 7-up yours." In BIG letters. "MAKE 7" was in the front, and "UP YOURS" was on the back.
