Some slogans work very well in a particular context. The SuperBowl "dot com" ad for e-trade with "It's your money--invest wisely" was spot on. And all the "not exactly"'s in the Hertz commercials.

I'd also like to see a survey done of people's jingle-recognition skills.

For example: [paste these into QBASIC; each line is a different jingle]

PLAY "T200L4O3F.C.G.C.A.L8AA#O4CO3L4A#L8AL4G."
PLAY "T140L8O3FFL4FL8CFCL4GCA#L8AL4F"
PLAY "T160L2O3EL4EL8D#MLEL1EL4MNEEABO4CO3BAEL2FL4FL8EMLFL1FL4FMNGGABBO4CD"
PLAY "T160L8O3F#.L4EGBL4O4MLD.L8MND.C#.L2D."
PLAY "T130MSL8O3GF#EDGF#EDGF#GG#AF#ED"
PLAY "T160L4O3F#AL2DL4F#F#L8F#L4E.GL2A"
PLAY "T120O2L4FO1L8AA#O2CL4C.GL8CCDL4C.FL8EEL4D.L8FL4EEL2F"
PLAY "T160L4O3CO2AL8O3CL4D.CL8CCL4CDEL8DL4C.L4O2A.L8AL4BL8O3C"
PLAY "T180O3L4DL8DL4F#.L4EE.L8DL4DL2GL4AL4F#.E."
I'll be impressed if anyone gets any of the last three (Chicagoland area)
