The Jingles Merry-go-round

[Daniel Herring]

Guess a few; name a few. I'll start.

Here we come, walking down the street

Who's your friend when things get ruff

Forget about your cares for it's time to relax

:)

[themnax]

well the first one continues "...get the funnyest looks from, everyone we meet, hay hay we're the monkeys, people say we monkey arround, but we're too bussy singin, to put anybody down; we're just trynna be friendly, come watch us sing and play, we're the new generation, and we've got something to say; hay hay we're the monkeys ..."

the other two i don't remember ever encountering or maybe just don't remember.

ok so here's from mine:

see the u.s.a., in your ____________, america is waiting you to call ...

plop plop fizz fizz oh what a relief it is

snap, crackle, pop ... (last i checked that one was still arround)

and of course: the're Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr8 (which well the're ok ... but i mean it's just a damd ... , the mascot's kinda cool though)

.. ....., .. ...., gets rid of dirt in just a minuete, .. ....., .. ....., cleans your whole house and everything that's in it, .. .....

then of course there's the infamous ....... restores tired blood!

=^^=
.../\...

[Daniel Herring]

Got the Alka Seltzer, the Rice Crispies, and the Corn Flakes. I can't even begin to guess what the first one is (although a bus comes to mind for some reason). For the last one I will hazard to guess Mr. Clean. Of course, interested parties could help me out a little here (even uninterested parties).

Since two of mine have gone unguessed, I'll keep them up:

Who's your friend when things get ruff

Forget about your cares for it's time to relax

and add one:

We're right here along your way

:)

When it rains it pours.

Its not just for breakfast anymore.

When you care enough to send the very best.

Double your pleasure double your fun.

I am stuck on band-aids cuz band-aids stuck on me. (i couldnt write this one without telling where it is from,,,which of course is band-aids)

[denimstar]

See the USA in your Chevorlet Dinah Shore sang that add on her show.

When it rains it pours Morton Salt.

When you care to send the very best Halmark.

Double your pleasure was doublemint gum. Is that still around?

Its not just for breakfast anymore. Is that Pork the "other" white meat?

[denimstar]

mine:
Come to where the flavor is.

Free Wheeling _ _ _ _ _ They’re TNT!

[themnax]

mr clean it was, but nobody got: ... restores tired blood?
i think they sponsored either lawrence welk and or sing along with mitch.

the name goes along with being old or old people, which makes me wonder what subgenius came up with it, but then i think most people didn't realize that, and lots of people bought and took it. often for what later came to be known as yuppie flue, but this was before yuppies or hippies either, back in the beatnic era and even before.

couple i haven't solved yet i can't entrely place, maybe too recent.
i'm beating myself over the head over "come to where the flavour is" i KNOW i know that one, just can't place it. (some kind of coffee maybe?)

anyway, here's another blast from the past that was ubiquotious in its time:

let .... put you in the dirver's seat

and speaking of coffee: ......., it's mountain grown
(i'm guessing that one's too easy and EVERYBODY will get THAT one)

then there's "it,s the water, the water the water, that makes ..... ...., so refreshing, refreshing, refreshing, enjoy ....... ...."
which was later replaced by 'the artesians'

=^^=
.../\...

[denimstar]

restores tired blood = Geritol

put you in the driver seat = Hertz

it's mountain grown = Folgers
