How about "THE WILLIAM TELL OVERTURE", alias the
Lone Ranger theme song.  It was used by both Lark
cigarettes (Have a Lark, Have a Lark, Have a Lark today")
and Jeno`s Pizza Rolls (Have a Jeno`s Jeno`s pizza roll)

There`s also the Beach Boys` "GTO" -> Honda(?) GTI.

Incidentally, Silver Bird was done by Mark Lindsay,
who at one time was with the Raiders.  No, not the
football team, the group.  Remember "Indian Reservation"?
