[The "Roto-Rooter Jingle" was composed in May, 1954 in demo form; and first aired in a commercial in   November, 1956;

Larry Wellington was the Creative Director of the "United Film and Recording Studios" of Chicago; this is also the studio where it was recorded; Wellington was also known as an accordion player with a group called "Louise Massey and The Westerners" — who were regulars on the WLS "National Barn Dance", a national radio show originating from Chicago; Wellington also scored a couple of B-movies during the 1950s.

The same recording was used in commercials produced for 10 years, until 1966; The original instrumentation heard on the air behind the singers was: clarinet, bass, accordion, wood block and guitar; The original jingle was performed by Tom C. Fouts who was known as Captain Stubby, and his backup group — The Bucanneers (also regulars on WLS's "National    Barn Dance")...according to Paul Abrams, Roto-Rooter's    2003 Public Relations manager, this jingle is one of the few compositions that have been in continuous use for nearly 50 years (albeit in different arrangements.)

Abrams said that Tom Fouts used what he called his "froggy" voice on the words "Away go troubles down   the drain", and that Fouts also was the voice of   "Little Sprout" in the original Green Giant commercials. Tom C. Fouts was born on November 24, 1918, in Carroll County, Indiana] <li> "Bosco Jingle" [I Love Bosco]; [Bosco chocolate syrup] by the Wallerstein Company, Inc., employer for hire of  John [actually Joan] Edwards & Lyn Duddy.

The song was composed in 1928 with lyrics by Gus Kahn and the music by Walter Donaldson... (c) Donaldson, Douglas & Gumble Inc., New York Published Copyright Date: Nov. 9, 1928; EP 00 462. Published Renewal  Date: Nov. 14, 1955; R 160 024. The Pepsi jingle lyrics were something like: "The Modern Crowd today agrees   If you think young say, 'Pepsi please';    So pick the right one, the modern light one...    Now It's Pepsi...For Those Who Think Young" Of course, the irony was that the melody was by that time more than three decades old.

In 1962 Joanie Sommers, the vocalist who had recorded the original seductive rendition of the jingle, released a vinyl LP titled â€œFor Those Who Think Young.â€ Ironically neither the Pepsi jingle nor the original â€œMakinâ€™ Whoopeeâ€ song were included on her album. Perhaps she wasn't "thinking young."

[Maxwell House Coffee-pot "Percolator Theme" — merging two melodies created by two different music production houses — a slow obligato melody on top of the short figure played by   guitarist who "chokes" the strings to keep the notes short, and a percussionist playing the same notes on temple blocks; "Percolabligato" (the original short-note coffee-pot theme;    Siday was a pioneer in the use of Electronic Synthesizers,     and may have used one to generate the clipped percolating     sound...) music by Eric Siday (c) by General Foods Corp.

This package was syndicated to radio stations in San Diego, Seattle, Kansas City and Los Angeles, among others. The package had memorable words and music that made quite an impression on listeners, who often requested the jingle as much as    songs on the station's play list.

In 1963 a PepsiCo marketing executive named Al Pottasch conceived of a public contest to suggest a new Pepsi ad slogan; The winner was a Wisconsin resident named Ellen M. Reimer. Her winning slogan was "The Pepsi Generation", which ushered in a new type of ad campaign—later called a "Lifestyle Campaign." The campaign was fleshed out with a lively jingle composed by Sid Ramin named "Come Alive!"; It was recorded by Joanie Sommers (who had also recorded the    1961 ad campaign jingle "For Those Who Think Young"), and later by others.
