Ah... The things you find when your searching for old cartoons on youtube.
EDIT: This one was always stuck in my head as a kid:

I didn't care much for the Crossfire commercial jingle. The best thing about that tv spot was the one kid with a big mullet.
But kids with mullets were pretty common in 1980's (and early 90's) toy and junk food commercials.

You mean this one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dV1hv6L0R74
"The first to get their balls in Mr. Bucket wins. But lookout because the balls will pop out of his mouth"
For some reason that never seemed dirty when that commercial was new.

Going back to the 1970's for a moment: I had this old toy called a Ricochet Racer (http://www.plaidstallions.com/hasbro/rr1.jpg). One version of this toy had a Marvel Comics motif, and the jingle was typical of the hit-`em-over-the-head mentality when ad men write this stuff. It was this growling male voice singing (screaming) something like "Ricochet race to the target! Spider-Man races Captain America! In! Spider-Man Ricochet!". Still stuck in my head over 30 years after the fact.
I had one of these, but got bored of it pretty fast. So I took the gun part and tried to make my own shrinking ray (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqPQlja0VSI) out of it, but that's another story.

Mentioned it in another thread, but found the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gr8MZOVl8rk
"Knockout - it'll knock you out!"
And not a jingle, but...
"I'll use my broadsword!" "FIRE OF WRATH!"

"MOONSHOES! MOONSHOES! ANTI-GRAVITY SHOES, MOONSHOES!"
The amazing part, they used the same commercial 10 years later. They didn't even reshoot it.

Anyone remember Weebleo's?
Man I loved that commercial, "Weebles wobble but they don't fall down!"

Anyway, my vote goes to The Grape Escape (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlrx2tnSw0U). Two weeks ago I went to an opera pops concert and heard the actual song this is based off of and I'll be darned if I didn't sing The Grape Escape lyrics to it :)
I instantly thought of my jet hopper (turbo hopper in the states)
i went to my shed and mine is still packed away looking a little worse for ware i must get it out clean it up see if it still runs

I guess I may have a predictable answer, but it's true.

Party! Pizza Party!
Party! Pizza Party!
Hey, look here!
There's a brand new game!
Pizza Party, that's the name!
You make a pizza as you can see
With onions, mushrooms, and pepperoni!
You can lose if you have to switch
So you better be sharp! You better be slick!
Party! Pizza Party! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CG2PO2VFKnQ)

Dunno if it counts but....Maxx Steel's Robo Force
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7fxNmxif74
I always dug the intro where they sing his name and he busts through the wall.
One day I will find another Maxx Steel and it will be mine! :)
