Rolling Stone's Book Of Rock Lists has a section devoted to songs which
became commercials. The book itself is embarassingly inaccurate, so I
wouldn't suggest buying it... but if I can borrow a copy, I'll post
the list they came up with.

Of course. My favorite line was (just because the situation was soo silly):
"Lance, how do you want your eggs?"

Remember the jingle for Crispy Critters? "Get the funny pink elephants. Put 'em on your spoon. Get the funny pink elephants Real, real soon!" something like that anyway... Hey, who remembers "The (Clark's) Teaberry Shuffle"?

Every time someone mentioned "Post Crispy Critters", the cartoon announcer would be run over by a stampede of animals, while offscreen voices sang "The one and only cereal with the wonderful shape of animals". Most of the commercials involved someone trying to trick the announcer into saying the magic words so he could be trampled. I think the Schlitz Malt Liquor Bull is a retired Crispy Critter. -- Jeff Lichtman at rtech (Relational Technology, Inc.) aka Swazoo Koolak {amdahl, sun}!rtech!jeff {ucbvax, decvax}!mtxinu!rtech!jeff

I do the Teaberry shuffle occasionally when I pop a stick of gum in my mouth. I think the music for the commercial was from "The Mexican Shuffle" by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana (sp?) Brass. I still have that 45(RPM).

Good question. One of my favorite scenes on Batman was when the
Bat Computer analyzed a bowl of alphabet soup. I've always wanted
to have a peripheral like that -- a Liquid Food Input Device (LFID).
