The Top 10 Jingles Of The Century

You know them, you love them, and most of you can sing the words to them. They are advertising jingles. A short tune with lyrics that contribute to a brand's awareness and below are the top ten jingles from the last 100 years.

1. You deserve a break today (McDonalds)
2. Be all that you can be (U.S. Army)
3. Pepsi Cola Hits the Spot (Pepsi Cola)
4. M'm, M'm good (Campbell's)
5. See the USA in your Chevrolet (GM)
6. I wish I was an Oscar Meyer Wiener (Oscar Meyer)
7. Double your pleasure, double your fun (Wrigley's Doublemint Gum)
8. Winston tastes good like a cigarette should (Winston)
9. It's the Real Thing (Coca Cola)
10. A little dab'll do ya (Brylcreem)

I remember 7 out of the 10. I am very surprised that the McDonalds Big Mac jingle didn't make it on the list. You know the one; "two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun."

What else is missing?

OH yeah. Good one. The Dr Pepper jingle. I completely forgot about that one. One that always sticks in my head lately is the Oreilly's Auto Parts. O O O Oreilleeeeeeees. Auto Parts.

Well, the Big Mac thing might not be considered a jingle, if the definition includes music. What about the Coke ads that used the song "I'd like to teach the world to sing..."

@bob - I wonder if the Coke ads didn't make it because the song wasn't an original piece of music written for the product.
