I can count on one hand.

And yet my head is filled with 40 year old jingles and advert
slogans such as:

Here he comes, here he comes
greatest toy you've ever seen.
And his name is MR MACHINE.

or

Odd Og, Odd Og, half turtle and half frog.
Don't you laugh at him at all, Odd Og plays ball!

or (for Mr. Kelly's Carwash)

Drive up the ramp, pull the chain (it runs on battery).
"Hey, Mr. Kelly. Wax it beautifully."


Yeah, those advertisers really know their stuff.
