Which company recycled the most old rock tunes?

Hit tunes of the Baby Boomer era are being used (or overused) as advertising jingles. The tip of the pop-hit ice berg include Carly Simon's "Anticipation" for Heinz ketchup, Frank Sinatra's "My Way" for Kids' Cuisine, The Village People's "Macho Man" for Old El Paso, The Four Seasons' "Big Girls Don't Cry" for Johnson & Johnson hair detangler, The Temptations' "My Girl" for Sun Maid raisins, Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman" for Tone Soap, The Beach Boys' "Fun, Fun, Fun" for Southwest Airlines, and Gene Chandler's "Duke of Earl" for Best Foods Dijonaisse. Burger King earns the dubious award for using more old rock tunes in TV ads than any other U.S. company to sell its hamburgers.
