Of course. Twilight Zone is at the top.

One I thought was a good tune was the Wrigley doublemint gum commercial. Double your flavor double your fun with doublemint doublemint gum. Nice little tune.

Ive got an album by Lester Lanin called Madison Ave. Beat. Its a big band version of 58 radio and TV commercials from the 50's and early 60's. Everything from Newport cigarettes to Bryllcreme.

How about the Alka-Seltzer commercial, No Matter What Shape Your Stomachs In? I think The Ventures did a version of that one, too.

Some of those old commercials were a hoot.

I wish I were an Oscar Meyer weiner,
That is what I want to be.
Cause if I were an Oscar Meyer weiner,
Everyone would be in love with me.
