"I've Got Five Dollars" became the theme of Freddie Rich & His Orch 
"Friendly Fred and the Friendly Five Footnotes" for Jarman Shoes selling 
shoes for five dollars in 1931 when nobody had five dollars.

"Up Up and Away"  TWA
Rhapsody In Blue  United Air Lines
"Come Fly With Me" Sinatra for some other airline
Mickey Katz's "Geshray of the Wild Kotchke" ended with the doomed goose 
saying  "Next time I think I'll fly United."
