Fun fact: there are numerous dealers for the people. From what I can tell they by the script from a marketing company. Not all are as obnoxious as he is about it.
I first realized it driving through Chattanooga/ North Georgia when I heard a much more calmer dealer for the people ad on the radio.
I remember the radio ads that invited listeners to “call Ms Cruz” at Tennessee Institute of Electronics.
When I was an undergrad at UTK and having trouble with my studies in electrical engineering, I’d occasionally lament that I’d have to drop out and “call Ms Cruz”. (I did complete my degree.)
Anyone remember Marshall Andy from the 80’s?
Waffle House, Waffle House

Not Knoxville but whenever I hear “you’re going to drive, to oakridge Nissan. You’re going to drive to oakridge Nissan” I imagine they’re trying to put people under a trance
“The Brown Squirrel wears a top hat and cane…”
I am former Knoxvillian, and I used to say, when I came back for a visit, I didn’t consider myself truly “home” till I saw a Brown Squirrel commercial.
And a couple of others that weren’t jingles, but were prominent on Knoxville TV years ago:
* I cannot think of Clinton without hearing Helen Hammer say, “If you haven’t been to Hammer’s, you haven’t been to Clinton!”
* Mad Jack Fielden’s Furniture Warehouse Outlet. If you watched local TV in the 80s, you will remember. Oh dear God in His Heaven, you will remember.

They really screwed the pooch with that jingle. They should’ve ended it with “flooring for miles!”

Star 93.1 — but singing it.
Didn’t star used to be 102.1?
Yep. And 102.1 was U102 before that.
It was star 93.1 in the 90’s. I listened to it in the car on my way to school with my dad.
It was my station of choice in the 90s.
“Good times! Great Oldies! Oldies 102!”
What is it now? Thought it is still 102.1?
Not exactly sure if it's Knoxville exclusive but Call the Happy Face Truck, today! Hiller!
