Blockbuster: Grid D-4

"Goes on forever. Makes me wish Prince's "I Would Die 4 U" was nominated instead." - First listen note (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTSVfYM2Pdk) [Note: I loooved "I Would Die 4 U" and it's also long and about pleading with a partner to remain with them and it's INFINITELY BETTER THAN THIS!!! Top five, no doubt!]

The guitars do a LOT of heavy-lifting. Lyrics and length alone should bring it to the bottom ten, but the guitars are so lively and vibrant that sometimes I can take on this long ride. I end up skipping out after two minutes most of the time because it just feels more pathetic the longer it goes. I'm siding with the exiting girlfriend on this one. One of at least two Marvin Gaye covers on this list.

"My initial feeling was 'Oooh' but as it continued and stayed golden oldie, I dunno, it began to lose me." - First listen note

There's a pleasant whimsy and old-fashioned nature to this song of unrequited love. I don't normally comment on videos, but the lip-synching is... impossible to watch. It has no effect on this ranking, but I don't have much to say on this song. It's a low-ranking song because while it's a nice loungey song, it's also a nice loungey song. I do like the instruments coming in to complement the final chorus and Laufey has a wonderful voice.

I can also appreciate how Laufey contains her unrequited love and passion for another person to a nice 2:49 and doesn't get down on her knees begging for the other person's love relentlessly for eight-and-a-half minutes *cough*.

I never liked the gum, not a fan of the cinnamon chew. The jingle is a nice nostalgia. It doesn't really hold a solid spot in my brain like a lot of other '90s jingles. In fact, there's a different Wrigley's gum brand that not only has a much greater presence in there, but also has been nigh-impossible to find the right version of so far. After about thirty different commercials, I found the right singer with the thirty second length, but unfortunately it's bad quality.

This version, and only this one, of the Doublemint Gum commercials would rank at least ten spots higher. Kiss A Little Longer beats every different singer, the 15 second advert, and absolutely destroys the "Double Double Your Refreshment" campaign. And as I don't remember Juicy Fruit or Winterfresh having any memorable ads or jingles, "Kiss A Little Longer" taking first place for all but a single solitary version of an ad with more varied and worse singers isn't too bad. But god I love that diva second verse and the roller coaster of highs and lows.

QUESTION: What are some of your favorite/most memorable/most nostalgic advertisement jingles?

I tried to make a top five, but only came up with two sure ones:
