Hello all

I'm glad we've sorted out the words to the Pepsi Cola jingle   :-)

Would you believe that there is a direct relationship between the jingle
and OKOM?

Bunny Berigan and vocalist Georgia Gibbs recorded a version of the jingle
in late 1939/early 1940 and it survives on record. See IAJRC LP 14.
Berigan's trumpet playing is a delight - it does indeed hit the spot. The
recording confirms Bill Haesler's post and has a second verse as well!

All the best
Anton
