Favourite Appliance Jingle?

Mr. Sheen jingle

Okay here is the original Mr. Sheen jingle, well here goes,
"Oh Mr. Sheen,Oh Mr.Sheen, today's the day to make the household clean,from the table to the chair and woodwork everywhere, wax and polish as you dust with Mr. Sheen.
Oh what a sparkle, Oh what a sheen, protects the fridge and saves your new washing machine, from finger marks around the door and venetian blinds what's more, wax and polish as you dust with Mr. Sheen, wax and polish as you dust with Mr. Sheen.Then there's the phone and all the chrome, even laminex comes sparkling clean, for an instant mirror sheen and to everything you clean, wax and polish as you dust with Mr. Sheen".

Does your shoe have a boy inside?
What a funny place for a boy to hide!
Does your shoe have a dog there, too?
A boy and a dog and a foot in a shoe.
Well, the boy is Buster Brown
And the dog is Tige, his friend.
And it's really just a picture,
But it's fun to play pretend.
So look, look, look
In your telephone book
For the store that sells the shoe
With the picture of the boy and the dog inside
That you can put your foot into.
Buster Brown Shoes! Arf Arf!

I remember in the Maytag commercials of the early to mid '80s just after the Maytag repairman would comment to his dog about how lonely he was, the doors and lids of a fridge, oven, microwave, dishwasher, washer, and dryer would slam shut one right after the other with a resounding background hum. Then a male voice would rattle off the infamous, "Maytag--the dependability people" slogan as the commercials ended. Watching TV with my parents, I'd often comment after those commercials about how I was going to fill my house with all Maytag appliances someday.... Well, I changed my mind not many years later.

And...

"Poll Parrot
Poll Parrot
The best shoes you can buy
They make your feet run faster
As fast as I can fly
AWWWK!"

 

[danemodsandy]

And Lest We Forget:

"Bee, Oh, En, Oh, Em, Oh -
Oh, Oh, Oh, It's Bonomo -
Can-dee!"

 

[gizmo]

these are more advertising slogans than jingles, but...

Victa lawnmowers -" Victa turns grass into lawn."

Hoover Vacs - "Beats as it sweeps as it cleans."

Hoover washing machines - "Hoover makes you boss of the wash."

Renault Virage car (Virage was the Australian market name for the later version of the Renault 12 of the 1970s) - "Renault Virage - drive it and you'll buy it."

Chrysler Valiant Charger - a unique to Australia two door version of the early 70s Chrysler Valiant car, with very sporty styling: "Hey, Charger!"
The ads showed a Charger driving past, and impressed-looking people made a "V" sign with their two fingers and held it up to the car, calling out "hey, Charger!" as the car passed. It was a very successful campaign, and kids all over the country held up the two fingers to every Charger they saw, as do nostalgic middle aged men these days when a restored Charger drives by. (the fingers were held up with the palm facing forward, unlike the rude British and Aussie gesture, with the palm facing backwards...)

Uncle Sam deodorant

Uncle Sam deodorant was an Aussie product in the 70s, with overtly USA styled packaging...

"you need Uncle Sam, you need Uncle Sam,
let's get together with the Stars and Stripes can
the perfect connection for fellas and gals
and under your arm is the top of the world... No Sweat!"

At school we came up with our own version...
"you need Uncle Sam, you need uncle Sam
49 cents for a rusty old can
the perfect connection for beetles and bats
and under your arm is the smell of dead rats."

Notice for over-patriotic Americans - engage sense of humour before viewing this ad...

 

[cuffs054]

"I wish I was an Oscar Meyer Weiner" and the similar "Oscar Meyer has a way with B-O-L-O-G-N-A"

 

[gizmo]

Hey Charger

I just found some Hey Charger ads on youtube...

 

[vacbear58]

Bing Crosby for Shell Oil

Keep going well, keep going Shell,
You can be sure of Shell

 

[vacbear58]

Possibly the most un-imaginative jingle ever

but it works remarkably well

Rael-Brook Toplin, the shirt you don't iron
Rael-Brook Toplin, the shirt you don't iron
Rael-Brook Toplin, the shirt you don't iron
Rael-Brook Toplin, the shirt you don't iron
Rael-Brook Toplin, the shirt you don't iron

etc etc etc etc

Don't believe me? Here it is ....

 

[vacbear58]

Fairy Liquid

I jest not - it is a leading brand (P&G) in the UK. From the 1960s

Now hands that do dishes can feel soft as your face
With mild green, Fairy Liquid

 

[vacbear58]

Heinz Baked Beans

2 that I rememeber:

Don't be mean with the beans, Mum
Beanz
Meanz
Heinz

and

A Million housewives everyday
Pickup a tin of beans and say
Beanz
Meanz
Heinz

No link this time I am afraid

 

[vacbear58]

And how could I have forgotten

Hotpoint washes extra clean
Cleaner than you've ever seen
Hotpoint .. cannot tangle clothes

I remember the "Use Ajax the foaming cleanser" commercial too;however, I sang it this way when I was in kindergarten in 1955 and sang it for song time. My mother got a phone call. lol
"Use Kotex, the foaming cleanser, (bum, bum)
cleans the dirt,right down the drain." Mrs. Hammond was not amused.
I also, during the infamous song time, sang this, and mom really got a phone call and a visit to school on this one. I won't put all of the words here because I don't want to offend anyone. To the tune of Dixie. "Oh I wish I was in the land of molasses, sticking pins in etc. etc. etc.
Poor Mrs. Hammond. I think the poor dear retired soon there after. I remember her saying to the teacher next to our room. " I got a new rug this year for those kids to sit on and one has already peed all over it!" "There is this one kid who always sings dirty songs too." mmm, Now I wonder who that could have been? I wonder what kind of washer Mrs. Hammond had?

A few more come to mind

I have thought of a few more funny jingles/advertising slogans, although not all appliance related.
1.Simpson-since 1853,truly reliable.
2.Rank Arena- the freshest ideas in refrigeration.
3.From the wondeful world of General Electric.
4.Ezi-Kleen, makes cleaning easy(Ezi-Kleen was a spray on cleansing foam cleanser.)
5.Hit em'with the ol Pea-Beu,hit em with the ol Pea-Beu, hit em high hit em low hit em with the ol Pea-Beu.(Pea-Beu is an insect spray.)
6. I'm foreman material!! that's my Ajax, with it's blue beads of bleach.!!
Gizmo, thanks for posting Uncle Sam and Charger, that really bought back memories.

 

[maytagbear]

I'm a bit surprised---------

No "Every day's a Holiday with Hotpoint!"?

Lawrence/Maytagbear

 

[danemodsandy]

And What About...

...This from Zenith?

"The quality goes in before the name goes on."

 

[aussie-plugs]

Ajax and Pea-Beu

Hi Steve,

You're on a roll! I remember those, along with most of the other Aussie ones, too.

Another one came to mind, although it's not for applicances. Anyone remember the brand? Put on your best fake Scots accent and say:

"Y'canna hanna manna granna spanna"

Sidchrome hand tools!

 

[twinniefan]

I just had to add a couple more

I know I know how tragic is this, but I jsut had to add a few more I really need to get a proper life l.o.l. l.o.l.
1.Hoover-"Your clothes are coming out so much cleaner, Hoover was here, and your carpets are lasting so much longer, Hoover was here."from abut the late 1970's I think.
2.Mrs Mcgregor's margarine-(scottish accent please.),Och! you canna buy better than Mrs. Mcgregor, you canna buy better than Mrs. Mcgregor, it's a wonderful margarine, it's got vitamin a and vitamin b which is good for your eyes, skin and teeth, Och! you canna buy better than Mrs. Mcgregor, it's a wonderful margarine."(A very short lived product, I wonder why??).
3. Arnott's biscuits- there is no substitute for quality.
