Last week caught myself singing to my grandkids:

"Buckle Up for safety, Buckle Up.
Buckle Up for safetuy, Always Buckle Up.
Show the world we care by the belt you wear,
Buckle Up for safety, Buckle Up".

Then I remembered another one, "If you love your kids, Belt them." Both before seat belt laws.

Barry Manilow wrote many memorable jingles prior to his making money as a performer, including the State Farm one mentioned previously. See if available on utube. LOTS of great ones.

My brother and his wife named their daughter Elizabeth but call her Libby. It was the same time as the commercials that said "when it says Libby's Libby's Libby's on the label label label, you will like it like it like it one your table table table.....

Little brother has no sense of humor...

how about

Look for the union label
when you are buying that coat, dress or blouse.

Remember somewhere our union's sewing,
our wages going to feed the kids, and run the house.

We work hard, but who's complaining?
Thanks to the I.L.G. we're paying our way!

So always look for the union label,
it says we're able to make it in the U.S.A.!


Bet no ones singing that any more.... makes you wanna cry...

Barry Manilow used to do a medley of all the jingles he wrote. Love his "Stuck on Band-Aid because Band's stuck on you!"

jbj137 08-16-2011 07:46 AM

Very old commercial for Ipana toothpaste.
Done by a 2 toothed beaver (Bucky).
In a flat nasally voice while he
moved the brush up & down.

Brush-a, Brush-a , Brush-a
with the new Ipana.

To KarenK who suggested Ipana toothpaste/Bucky Beaver - I clicked on the link you gave and found Bucky among other very early tv commercials. Close to half an hour later, thanks for some fun childhood memories.

Cream of wheat is so good to eat
We have it every day,
We sing this song, 'cause it makes us strong
And makes us shout "hooray"!
It's good for growing babies
And grownups too, to eat,
For all the family's breakfast
You can't beat Cream of Wheat!

fastastic cleaner jingle has always stayed with me after all these years.
Roto rooter that's the name, and away goes trouble, down the drain.
I loved the tidy bowl commercial

When I was a kid in Oregon: RaaaaaaaaaNeeeeeeeeer Beeeeeeeeer (raineer beer) With motorcycle engine sound as the motorcycle goes up the mountain.

JoyjoyMarie 08-17-2011 12:45 AM

"It's the water, the water, the water, the water that makes Olympia beer..." (maybe just from the Northwest)

"From the land of sky blue waters, (waters), from the lake refreshing, Hamm's the beer refreshing, Hamm's the beer"

(There was no beer at my house either- we just all had advertising!)

Loved the Coke (Hillside Singers)- "I want to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony". .. Still love that one- I used to teach it to the elementary kids (without the coke part)

Hefty, Hefty Cinch Sack but my daughter would say Hucky, Hucky, Sick Sack because that's what she understood.
I remember the Chiquita banana girl dancing around. I'm Chiquita Banana and I'm here to say...
can't remember the rest. Maybe someone else can.
I was thinking of the Texaco star also since my dad owned a Texaco station.
Hey, Hey, were the Monkees, people say we monkey around, but we're too busy singing, to put any body down. Just trying to be friendly... from their TV show.

From the land of Sky Blue Waters - Minnesota - the bear was the main logo for the commercial. The Hamm's Bear (get it?). I don't think they make Hamm's anymore. Their Brewery was humongous! I don't drink beer either (Oh, I like O'Doul's or a NA Beer)! Edie

Google "We're the Men from Texaco" and you'll get the whole song/commercial. It was one of the best commercials ever. Edie

For your father - google "we're the men from Texaco" - song, click on lamsproductions, scroll down to the bottom where it says "We're the men from Texaco", click on. There is the whole song - actually a few of the Texaco commercials. Absolutely brilliant. Enjoy. Edie
PS - I sure hope it works!
