Slight veer, but this is probably the only tune written for an ad that subsequently made the Billboard top 10 peaking at #3. The record is credited to the T-Bones, but was really recorded by the Wrecking Crew (LA studio musicians). Now, what was the product ad the tune came from,

They put a "public" T-bones together to tour.

From the Wiki page with another trivia connection:
"In 1965, Dave Pell wanted to record songs based on music from recent TV commercials and release them on 45 RPM singles to see if he could get radio airplay and maybe a hit record. Previously, Liberty Records had used "The T-Bones" as a group name for instrumentals recorded by Los Angeles session musicians The Wrecking Crew, and Liberty told Pell to use it again for his project.[5] In 1965, Pell went into the studio with members of The Wrecking Crew and recorded "No Matter What Shape (Your Stomach's In)," a song based on music used in an Alka-Seltzer TV commercial.[2] When the single became a hit,

Liberty Records needed the T-Bones to go on the road to promote it, but the original session musicians weren't willing to go. They were making a considerable amount of money doing sessions in Los Angeles. So Liberty created a different "public" T-Bones group to appear on record covers, TV, and in concert. The "public" T-Bones were Judd Hamilton, Dan Hamilton, Joe Frank Carollo, Tommy Reynolds, and Gene Pello. None of them played on the hit record but later they would achieve fame as the soft rock trio, Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds.[5][6]"

Did not know about the trio's connection, do vaguely remember them, though.

Oh my dear friend you've opened the Pandora's Box of My Media Memories.

The topic having had some time to ferment therein, and my post count being in need of a slight boost, I will proceed to sew several seeds sequentially. May a thousand flowers bloom.

"Put A Tiger...."

"A Silly Millimeter Longer...."
(Up there with "No Matter What", think that might actually be a Manilow jingle. )
