Now was Matthau singing the jingle scripted, or do you think he ad-libbed? Either way, it was freakin' hilarious.

That was the actual commercial back then.

Snelling, thanks--I knew that (I'm 65 years old--LOL!) What I'm wondering is if he was directed to sing along while the radio jingle was playing, or if it was just a brilliant ad lib on his part.
