I know this isn't a jingle, but I miss the old woman who used to do the "Where's the beef?" commercials, and I also miss Little Rodney Allen Rippee who used to do the hamburger commercials. One of my favorite commercials was the Life cereal commercial where one brother says to another one, "I'M not gonna try it - YOU try it" then that brother says "I'M not gonna try it - YOU try it". Then both brothers look at each other and say "Let's get Mikey - he'll eat anything". They give Mikey the cereal, he takes a bite and the brothers say "He likes it. Hey Mikey!". That was around when I was a kid and I still think of that commercial to this day.

Ipana toothpaste jingle.

It went: Brusha, brusha,

There was a puppet that sang that commercial. But I can't
remember who it was. It was a floppy earred dog tho.
