Old slogans and jingles in Hawaii

No huhu, get Magoo's

For some reason the line keeps playing in my head. Any other notable
old slogans or jingles keep turning laps in the brain?

Also a flashback to Lippy Espinda. What was it that he was famous for
saying? Or was it Lucky Luck? Doubt you find that stuff in Google
search.

What!?
tons o stuff found from da search.

I learned recently that "Smythe, not Smith; Smythe, not Smith; Smythe
the Smoooooother Moooovers!" was here, too. Grew up thinking they were a
Bay Area company.

But speaking of jingles...have you noticed that EVERY little diner,
dentist, and dating service has to have a TV commercial with a jingle
lately? Sappy lyric, utterly forgettable tune. It's like there's a
McJingle machine for rent somewhere. Combination of one of those
story-writing web sites and a drum machine.

I like Zippy's BIM-BAM BOOM sound effect. Wow. A logo SOUND EFFECT!! And
like Pavlov's dogs, you hear that sound and you already know, NEXT STOP
ZIPPY'S.

I always associated Lucky Luck with beer. Lucky Lager was popular back
then right? There was Primo. Falstaff. Olympia pushed on Let's Go
Fishing. After that the Coors craze hit. Then the imported stuff like
Heineken.

Oops, back to Google for me.

The "old" timers may remember this:

"He's working quietly... and effectively to do what is best in Hawai'i." --
George Ariyoshi

He did alright... work quietly. He and his son kicked Hawaiians off of Sand
Island.

Who's writing the jingles? I'd like to... I know I can write stuffs just as
forgettable!

Or a variant: 'Silent but Deadly'

Can't beat:
