<p>I wish I were an Oscar Meyer weiner,
That is what I’d truly like to be
Cause if I were an Oscar Meyer weiner,
Everyone would be in love with me.</p>
<p>Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun…</p>
<p>I love Bosco / It’s rich and chocolatey / Chocolate-flavored Bosco is mighty good for me / Momma puts it in my drink for extra energy / Bosco gives me iron, and sunshine vitamin D / Oh, I love Bosco, that’s the drink for me!</p>
<p>And, of course, what everyone sang on the playground:</p>
<p>I hate Bosco/Bosco’s bad for me/Mommy puts it in my milk to try to poison me/but I fooled Mommy/I put it in her tea/and now I have no Mommy/to try to poison me!"</p>
<p>Oh gosh, of course it’s PLOP PLOP. typed too fast, didn’t pay attention.</p>
<p>Re: #23</p>
<p>Chlorox it makes your mouth turn green
Chlorox it tastes like gasoline
Chlorox it makes you vomit
So take some chlorox and vomit today!</p>
<p>I have no idea what the real words are!</p>
<p>Hot dogs! Armour hot dogs!
What kind of kids eat Armour hot dogs?
Fat kids, skinny kids, kids that climb on rocks.
Tough kids, sissy kids, even kids with chicken pox
love hot dogs, Armour hot dogs. The dogs kids love to bite!</p>
<p>You deserve a break today
So get up and get away
To MacDonald’s!</p>
<p>I’m a Pepper, he’s a Pepper, she’s a Pepper, we’re a Pepper
Wouldn’t you like to be a Pepper too?</p>
<p>The ghost of vanished vitamins! Vanished vitamins!</p>
<p>Not a song though.</p>
<p>Mathmom–I thought it was “Comet”–to rhyme with vomit.</p>
<p>Garland, you are right of course. Too late to edit!</p>
<p>Stronger than Dirt!
Stronger than Dirt!
New AJAX laundry detergent is stronger than dirt!</p>
<p>The refrain from this commercial is also immortalized at the end of the Doors’ song “Touch Me”</p>
<p>Don’t cross the street in the middle, in the middle,
in the middle, in the middle,
in the middle of the block
Keep your eyes to look out, keep your ears to hear
Walk up to the corner, where the coast is clear
Then wait, and wait,
until you’ve seen the light’s turned green.</p>
<p>^^^^I’m not familiar with that one. I must be either too young or too old.</p>
<p>It may have been a local (NYC) public service announcement.
I’m sure you’re too young :)</p>
<p>mominva, I’m from NYC too, and was just singing that to my kids the other day! They thought I was crazy. :)</p>
<p>How about this one:</p>
<p>Meet the Swinger, Polaroid Swinger
It’s more than a camera, it’s almost alive
It’s only 19 dollars and 95.
Swing it up, it says yes
Take the shot, count it down, zip it off!</p>
<p>Ooh, Thank You Booklady!!
My people think I’m crazy too, the kids and the co-workers!</p>
<p>How about:
Oh a kid’l eat the middle of an Oreo first,
And save the chocolate cookie outside for last!</p>
<p>How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?
The world may never know.</p>
<p>School House Rock (I think): </p>
<p>A liter, a liter, a little more than a quart! (all I remember of this, but I still use it to remember how much a liter is).</p>
<p>Conjunction Junction, what’s your function? With and, but and or, get you pretty far. </p>
<p>Lolly, Lolly Lolly get your adverbs here. </p>
<p>We the people
in order to form a more perfect union…(the only way I remember the Preamble to the Constitution)</p>
<p>McDonald’s is your kind of place…(but I only remember the parody “hamburgers in your face”)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I remember those, but they aren’t commercials.</p>
<p>No one has yet done what I think of as the best commercial jingle ever:</p>
<p>Snap, what a happy sound
Snap is the happiest sound I found
You may clap, rap, tap, slap, but
Snap makes the world go round
Snap, crackle, pop – Rice Krispies!</p>
<p>I say it’s Crackle, the crispy sound
You gotta have Crackle or the clock’s not wound
Geese cackle, feathers tickle, belts buckle, beets pickle,
Crackle makes the world go round
Snap, crackle, pop – Rice Krispies!</p>
<p>I insist that Pop’s the sound
The best is missed unless Pop’s around
You can’t stop hoppin’ when the cereal’s poppin’
Pop makes the world go round
Snap, crackle, pop – Rice Krispies!</p>
<p>[Then, of course, all sung at once, as a fugue, with each line going Snap-Crackle-Pop. Brilliant!]</p>
