Oklahoma City, OK
Our neighborhood association is having a summer music festival tomorrow night and I'm playing the piano for two group participation "Name That Tune" games. One will involve commercial jingles. The other will use TV theme songs.

I've thought of a bunch already, but I need suggestions for tons more. Can you help?

WARNING: Reading some of the following may leave you with an auditory virus!

Commercial Jingles

AJAX – New Ajax laundry detergent, it’s stronger than dirt
Snap, crackle, pop - Rice Krispies
I'm stuck on Bandaid
Oscar Meyer
Dr. Pepper (I'm a pepper...)
I'd like to teach the world to sing (Coke)
See the USA in a Chevrolet
You deserve a break (McDonalds)
Have it your way (Burger King)
United Airlines (whatever that Gershwin tune is, Rhapsody in Blue, I think)
Sometimes you feel like a nut (Almond Joy/Mounds)
Winston Tastes Good
Reach out and touch someone (AT&T)
Ain't no bugs on me (Advantix)
I don't want to grow up (Toys 'r Us)
Rice a Roni - the San Francisco Treat
Let the River Run (Carly Simon song used for a USPS commercial)
M M Good (Campbell's Soup)
You can trust your car to the man who wears a star (Texaco)
State Farm is There
GE -- We bring good things to life
Roto Rooter, that's the name, we just wash your troubles down the drain
Double Your Pleasure, Double Your Fun (Wrigley’s gum)
I’m Chiquita Banana and I’m here to stay
Give me a break, give me a break, break me off a piece of that Kit Kat Bar
Fresh goes better with Mentos full of life
