Trying to work your phone number into a jingle is a losing proposition IMO unless it's really memorable or it rhymes or something.
You'd think, but for some reason I can still sing the number for Sheraton Hotels: "800-325-3535"

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.
