The Best Jingle Ever Thread

That would be this:

that's it!

That one is way before my time. The only tire jingle I remember is for Goodyear, circa 1982, went something like this:

There's good times 'round the corner
Good times, wherever you are
Goodyear tires and Goodyear service for
more good years in your car

Catchy jingle but I can't find it online. It showed a kid rolling a tire town the sidewalk at the beginning.

But I did find *this*, which somehow I don't think Goodyear really used:

Also this one, which doesn't have a jingle, just background music, but I'm posting just for the O_o <i>OMG</i>WTFness of it. Kids, if you want to know why we needed a "women's movement" in the '70s and onward, it's because it was once deemed acceptable by much of society for a well-respected business to run an advert like this one:

Goodyear. Because women are helpless weaklings, and what will happen if your wife gets a flat and there's NO MAN AROUND????

Regional obviously, but a classic. There was an earlier version that I can't find that ended "The road starts right here!" But I guess they updated it and decided to plug the name one more time instead.

Trying to work your phone number into a jingle is a losing proposition IMO unless it's really memorable or it rhymes or something.

LOL that's great!

Here you go! Written by Randy Newman and Jake Holmes, still see ppl wearing "Be A Pepper" t-shirts 25 years after they last used this jingle

Eight, sir; seven, sir;
Six, sir; five, sir;
Four, sir; three, sir;
two, sir; one!

And dissension have begun.'

You'd think, but for some reason I can still sing the number for Sheraton Hotels: "800-325-3535"

this really is the best ever

that jingle would work even better for this one:

I absolutely CANNOT believe the Mentos jingle isn't on here, that was the most infectous, hateable, awesome piece of commercial music ever made! I haven't heard it since what, 1999? And I still remember ever note "DO DO DO DOOOOO DO DO, DO-WAAAAAA!! It doesn't matter what comes, fresh goes better with life, with Mentos fresh and full of life!" HOW did you guys forget about this???

also, I know it's not a real jingle, but the Tim & Eric "Rolo Tony" jingle is really one of the greatest things ever:

"Rolo Rolo Tony, working on the factory floor/making chocolate Rolos, for the kids to buy at the store/And when he makes it through the day/the children gather round and say/Rolo Tony, Brown Town/Check yourself out at the door/Give us all some Rolos, you know you got to give us some more/of those Rolos"

see I just typed that from memory

I always liked this jingle because it's catchy as all hell, yet it break all the usual rules of writing catchy jingles - it's musically complex, continuously changing, full of unusual chord changes, and never repeats a melodic phrase even once. It was used from the late '70s into the '00s, dropped for awhile, but revived a few years ago.
