My dad would not stop talking about Firestone and their "where the rubber meets the road" jingle this weekend, so I went looking for it on youtube and found this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7iD96pN3gs
It seems to be Portuguese or Brazilian, and does not have the same tune. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

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 cornerGood times, wherever you areGoodyear tires and Goodyear service formore 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:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJCxMXNx4vU
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:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvsEx_SRJpU
Goodyear. Because women are helpless weaklings, and what will happen if your wife gets a flat and there's NO MAN AROUND????

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOnXaiLMcYURegional 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.

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"
― frogbs, Thursday, 14 June 2012 14:37 (twelve years ago) link
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.
