OK, here’s one in Spanish:

Si es Goya, tiene que ser bueno.

I remember this, because at the height of the disco dance craze, there was this great disco dance contest TV show called “Disco Fiebre” on a Spanish-language channel – Goya was one of the regular sponsors. So was Bounty Paper Towels, with Nancy Walker as “Rosie, the waitress” – it sounded like she was doing her own lines, in Spanish – not dubbed!

Bounty – the quicker picker-upper!

(I still remember the names of the hosts of Disco Fiebre – Chela Braniff and Fito Giron – am I a repository of useless information, or what? 😃 )
 
Certs is two (click) two (click) two mints in one.

Do you know exactly how to eat an Oreo?
Well, to do it
you unscrew it –
very fast! –
'Cause a kid’ll
eat the middle
of an Oreo first
And save the chocolate cookie outside for last!

TicTac
is the nicest tactic
Pick a pack of freshness
From the minty TicTac tree!

I bought a apir of Levi’s
They’ve really been around
I’ve taken them camping
And I’ve laid them on the ground
They’ve come with me to parties
And they’ve climbed up a tree
Why, they’ve been to school so often
They’re nearly smart as me
And after years and years of wearin’
My Levi’s in and out
I couldn’t help but notice
That the knee wore out
So I sewed on a patch
A flower here and there
They look so good again
I can take them anywhere
I’m using them as cutoffs
And flying in the air
Now I really think it’s time
That I bought another pair.
– You can live in Levi’s.

  • da Vinci: Ah, yes. Caramilk! A fascinating problem. Mona! Take a break!

But that’s not it…And then this ancient Roman technique! But I need more time…more thought…

“Prices so low, they’re insane!” (Crazy Eddie - local maybe to NY/NJ)

I only remember that one because it was used to great effect in the film, “Splash”, when Darryl Hannah wanders into a store with a wall of TV’s and ol’ Crazy Eddie pops out at her, screaming that line. 😃

Wow - there are some great ones on out there. My mind is reeling in the memories…

Here’s one that you’ll wish you could forget…48 hours from now when you’re STILL singing it (sort of like ‘It’s a Small World’…)

I’d like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I’d like to buy the world a Coke
And keep it company.

It’s the real thing (coke is…)
That’s the way it should be (coca cola…)
What the world wants to see (wo-yeah…)
Is the real thing.
 
“To pooped to participate”, also from Michigan, for Bubble Up (A Sprite like drink.)
 
Twoallbeefpattiesspecialsauselettucecheesepicklesonionsonasesameseedbun. (McDonalds)

brusha brusha brusha
with the new Ipana

the skin you love to touch

Ring around the collar (in a nagging whiny voice)

and for the rest of you Detroiters:
you’re on the right track
to 9 mile and Mack
Roy OBrien trucks and cars
make your money back
Roy OBrien’s got em buyin and buyin
they come from many miles away
you save yourself a lot of dollars dollars
by driving out his way today

pretty sad when you consider present state of my town’s one industry.

Just thought I would derail for a second…back in the seventies I had a doll, I think her name was Mimi, who sang this song in various languages. She had this mini record player embedded in her back, and mini records for each version of the song. She also had a cool “mod” outfit with boots and a beret. Thanks for having me remember her.🙂
