The Girls' Mom Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 "Lookie, Lookie, Lookie, here comes cookie....Cook's Pest Control."My oldest dd's nickname is Cookie, so it stuck worse than some others. We still sing the Menard's jingle even though we only lived in MN for less than two years, over 15 years ago! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 As soon as I read "midwest hardware store", that jingle immediately popped into my head. I kept reading your post, and sure enough that's what you were talking about! LOL Lol...me too. We are in Menards at least once if not twice a week.

This was a local one where I grew up... "When you take Jhoon Rhee self defense, then you too can say, Nobody bothers me. Nobody bothers me. Call USA-1000. Jhoon Rhee means might for life!" Then it has two little kids who say, "Nobody bother me!" "Nobody bothers me, either!" 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhanaBee Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Yo Quiero Taco Bell LOL - when these commercials were airing we had a little miniature pinscher name Zorro. Zor had a cropped tail but intact ears, so from a distance he may have resembled a chihuahua. Every time we took him on walks or to the dog park, someone would yell, "Yo Quiero Taco Bell!!" to which we would reply, "He's NOT a chihuahua!!" I'm pretty sure that by the end of his life this dog was convinced his full name was "Yo Quiero Taco Bell - He's Not A Chihuahua" 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meena Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 My Buddy, My Buddy Wherever I go, he goes... Oh yes, that one is a total earworm for me. DH and I got that one stuck in our heads one night, so we had to look it up on YouTube. That led us to a side trail of all the cartoon show theme songs we remembered from our childhood. Sad that he and I knew every word to "Gummy Bears" ("bouncing here and there and everywhere, high adventure that's beyond compare...") even though we haven't seen it in over 30 years. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Florida. Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) Pretty much everything mentioned here, including Chicken Tonight. :) Also- Do you know exactly how to eat an Oreo? Well to do it, you unscrew it. 'Cause a kid'll eat the middle of an Oreo first And save the chocolate cookie outside for last. Local ones - From a zillion years ago in New Jersey (okay, from the 1960s) A jingle from a store called Robert Hall, that was popular for back to school shopping School bells ringing Children singing Back to Robert Hall again The Palisades Park commercial. Not the Freddie Canon song Palisades Park that was an actual record, but the commercial jingle. A local one here is a cheesy poorly made commercial for a local Hyundai dealer. There's a woman who is probably an employee or family member just singing. awful singing, over and over "Cocoa Hyundai. Cocoa Hyundai". Central Florida Hivers will know it. I can't drive past the place without singing it (in a terrible voice). Edited July 5, 2016 by Lady Florida. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 It's not a real commercial, but at random moments in my life, I will start quoting the Vitameatavegamin commercial from "I Love Lucy." Especially the voice when she's wasted. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
