Going slightly off topic - it never happened here before - Just yesterday on some TV morning program they listed the 10 songs most people have trouble keeping out of their heads! NOTE : those asked were an average age of 23 which may have had something to do with the selections!
10. It's A Small World After All - Disney
9. The Lion Sleeps Tonight (a weem a way)
8. Whoop There It Is!
7 YMCA
6. Mission Impossible theme
5. Kit Kat Bar - theme song
4. We Will, We Will Rock You
3. Who Let The Dogs Out
2. (I Want) My Baby Back Ribs -0fast food theme song
1 - Whatever tune keeps running through your mind!

Now as to slogans :
If you haven't looked at a Ford lately -look again.

Betcha' can't eat just one (potato chips aka crisps)

Plop Plop Fizz Fizz - OH! what a relief it is - Alka Seltzer

We Are Looking For A Few Good Men - US Marine Corps posters.
(Naughty me wrote under the slogan "Look on any Air Force Base!" Heh Heh Heh Heh.)

no, but I remember how to put together a Big Mac:

two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun.

OK, wise guy. Kudos to you for having your finger on the pulse of American pop culture. Now do it in vulgar Latin.
