Persistent earworm alert CCCLXXX

I haven't seen this "60 Minutes" segment since it aired originally, but I still remember it.  Decades ago, "60 Minutes" did a piece on the making of a Stroh's beer commercial.  It amused me to see people running alongside a plane while singing, "There's nothing like a Stroh's beer," off-key.  Professional jingle singers were used in the final version as the plane takes off.

Beer--and alcohol, in general--doesn't appeal to me.  Still, during mundane moments in traffic or while shopping, that jingle still comes to mind ironically.  I've never equated a soaring plane with beer consumption.  Presumably, though, market research must indicate that the image scores with customers.

Meanwhile, my cat, Collette, puts her own spin on the Stroh's jingle.
