What is the best commercial jingle you have heard?

There are a lot of catchy jingles out there. I find they are very effective when it comes to remembering brands. What is your favorite jingle? List more than one if you like. Video clips are a plus!

My favorite is the Oscar Myer Weiner jingle.
It's been around since 1965 and they still are holding auditions and using the same song in current commercials.

It's a classic!

Asker's Rating:
• Good answers everyone. I choose the Oscar Meyer Wiener jingle because it is a classic, it has been around for a long time, and people like to sing it!

I can't for the life of me think of a jingle I have truly enjoyed more than this McDonalds jingle for the Filet o' Fish sandwich. I still get this jingle stuck in my head now and again and I have not heard it in months.

Runner up would be the 2 Subaru jingles "It's what makes a Subaru a Subaru!" and "Subaru..feel the freedom Subaru .. feel the freedom"

"Give me back that filet o' fish give me that fish!" Just makes me laugh every time!

The Hilltop ad for Coca cola:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8H5263jCGg

Originally airing in 1971, the hilltop ad was filmed on a hill outside of Rome and included young people from around the world lip singing to the song recorded by the Hillside Singers. In today's world, familiar pop music songs are modified or sampled and used to promote a product. Just the opposite was true of the Hilltop song. It was so good as an ad that two groups made it into top ten songs on billboard charts, the Hillside Singers in 1971 and The New Seekers in 1972.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jr9hPbYmBo&feature=related

It was so good, in fact, that nearly twenty years later, in 1990, Coke brought out the original singers, along with their kids, and used it at the mecca of commercials, Super Bowl XXIV. This was called the "Hiltop Reunion"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1SCYBgBUyE&feature=player_embedded#

As recently as 1998 the song reached the top 40 again when it was covered by No Way Sis. I doubt you will find another commercial jingle that was written as a commercial and then made the charts three times by three different groups, over 20 years apart. In fact, according to Coca Cola (who should know since they hold the copyright), The song has been recorded over 75 times.
