McDonald's - "You deserve a break today..." was sung by Barry starting in 1971 but written by Sidney Woloshin. He didn't get paid enough for writing the State Farm jingle, so the agency he wrote it for made it up to him by having him sing this one.

Burger King - "Have it your way" jingle was written by Barry in 1974. It is the most famous Burger King Jingle.

Coca-Cola - "I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony..." was written by Barry in 1971. The commercial featured many voices from many cultures of people.
