- So catchy it's disgusting! My personal favorite of the musical ads is the one for Speedway "79" Power Fuel. Catchy adaptation of "Dem Bones," well performed with terrific percussion and animation. Speaking of percussion, on the Esso ad most of the sound effects are just that. The Bank of America ad is an obvious takeoff on the "coffee jitters" ads done by companies advertising Sanka and Postum. And the Marlboro guy who says sometimes he forgets to eat, but never forgets to smoke--does he have his priorities in order or what? LOL! As for me, I keep waiting for those Ajax elves to come along at night and clean my bathroom for me, but no dice! I always have to give in and just clean it myself! (sigh)
