"Brylcream, just a dab will do ya, Brylcream, all the girls pursue ya". My grandpa still sings that jingle from time to time, Jack Nicholson said that in the "Electroshock scene" in One flew over the Coocoo's nest which took place two years after your timeline in 1962. These period commercials, shows, and music really add to the atmosphere.

I remember hearing the BrylCream jingle through the '60s, and even into the '70s, before they retired the jingle. All those little musical jingles that were common for products prior to the '90s actually made the commercials entertaining to watch. How many people who were alive at the time will ever forget the various jingles for Dr. Pepper, Coka-Cola, Chiquita bananas, etc. Even if some of the products weren't good, like cigarettes, the jingles made them memorable.
Remember these...? (If not, just type the first line of any of them into Google. These are just a few that came to mind.)
Oh, I wish I were an Oscar Mayer wiener; that is what I'd truly like to be. 'cause if I were an Oscar Mayer wiener, everyone would be in love with me.
My Bologna has a first name. It's O-S-C-A-R. My bologna has a second name. It's M-A-Y-E-R. Oh I love to eat it everyday, And if you ask me why I'll say, Cause' Oscar Mayer has a way with B-O-L-O-G-N-A!
Plop, plop, fizz, fizz... Oh what a relief it is.
Once upon a time there was an engineer, Choo-Choo Charlie was his name we hear. He had an engine and he sure had fun, He used Good & Plenty candy, to make his train run. Charlie says, "Love my Good & Plenty!" Charlie says, "Really rings the bell!" Charlie says, "Love my Good & Plenty!" "Don’t know any other candy, that I love so well!"

There's nothing like the face, of a kid eatin' a Hershey bar. There's nothin' like it you'll ever see, a face as happy as it can be. There's nothing like the face of a kid, when he's muchin' on the greatest taste around. Hershey's, the great American chocolate bar.

The jingles for Nair and Good n Plenty are the only two of them I don't recall.

I also remember some of the others you mention, like, "See the USA in a Chevrolet", "Go Greyhound and leave the driving to us", "Melts in your mouth, not in your hand", "Mm mm good. Mm mm good. That's what Campbell's soups are, mm mm good", DoubleMint gum, Timex and Avon.
I don't recall the others though. Perhaps some variations were regional.
I also remember these used to play often when I was growing up:
Give a hoot, don't pollute. Never be a dirty bird. In the city, or in the woods. help keep America looking good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZB7gSQRIuM (Sadly, the US Forest Service ordered all the classic Woodsy Owl costumes to be destroyed by incineration in 1997. I bet Smokey Bear was pissed when that happened!)

Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, and a sesame-seed bun.
You deserve a break today... at McDonalds.
Hold the pickle, hold the lettuce. Special orders don't upset us. All we ask is that you let us serve it your way. Have it your way, have it your way, at Burger King.
There's a whole lot more of what you're hungerin' for at the Red Barn. (One of my favorite places to eat as a kid, with their three (burger, fish and chicken) mascots that sometimes were in the restaurants. But, the chain disappeared around 1980. I can't find the jingle anywhere on YouTube. But, it was available on a 45 RPM record in the '70s. I saw one on eBay a few years ago, but it sold for $120 - way more than I could afford. I wish someone would upload a copy to YouTube, as it's a fun childhood memory for me.)
In the middle school I attended, the boys would always get you with that Kent commercial I mentioned. A boy would ask, "I can't recall all the words on that Kent cigarette commercial. It starts out as happiness is...and I don't remember the rest of it". Quite naturally you would reply, "It's the taste of Kent". Then the boy would reply, "Oh, how did you know what Superman tastes like?"
I remember most of those. In the middle school I attended, the boys would always get you with that
I don't remember the Brylcreem jingle, but I do remember others: >Conoco: "Ride the hot one, Conoco...Ride the hot one, Conoco gasoline..."

(Those lyrics were included in the Devo song "Too Much Paranoias".) >Dr. Pepper: :"I'm a pepper, he's a pepper, she's a pepper, they're a pepper, wouldn't you like to be a pepper too?" (That jingle was included in the movie The Cannonball Run.)

Yeah, number 5 did read that slogan on a billboard. Later he became the world's first robotic "couch potato" after Stephanie Speck introduced him to television. The catch phrases he learned made him the funniest robot in movies.

"New Ajax - laundry detergent - is stronger than dirt".
On a bug spray commercial, I don't remember which one, a cartoon bug always use to say, "This stuff just killlls me".
Hawaiian Punch had that cartoon guy who'd ask that dopey guy, "How 'bout a nice Hawaiian Punch?" The dopey guy says, "Surrre", just before he gets punched. Hawaiian Punch also had a jingle, "What gives - Hawaiian Punch - it's punch? - Wow. - It's punch - Wow. What gives - Hawaiian Punch - its punch. Those seven natural fruit juices - in Hawaiian Punch".
Kennelration had one, "My dog's bigger than your dog. My dog's better than yours".
I believe it was Michelin tire company that had a jingle, "Because so much is riding on your tires".
And: "Mr. Clean. Cleans like a white tornado". "New Ajax - laundry detergent - is stronger than di

Ah Brylcreem! In my country (from what I've read) appearently during the 50's in which there was a huge 'american boom' the hairdressers used to ask teenagers with their Elvis hairdo's: "Bijknippen of olie verversen?" (Want it cut or have the oil refreshed?) referring to the amounth of grease / brylcreem that kids put in their hair, oh if only they knew what the 80's would bring! =P

The video was unavailable, but I do remember that jingle with the cute cartoons of woodland animals.
I also remember the V-8 vegetable juice commercial where folks smack their forehead and say, "I could have had a V-8".
And the slogan for 7-up about having no caffeine..."Never had it. Never will". There was a joke about that one that started out with the question, "What do nuns have in common with 7-up?"
Public service ads for the nationwide 55 mph speed limit had a slogan, "Arrive alive at 55".
Smokey the bear's slogan, "Remember...Only you can prevent forest fires".
Florida DOT ads in the 1960s against drunk driving had the slogan, "Alcohol and gasoline don't mix".

I heard about them. However, I think Burma Shave was no longer putting out those signs by the time my family immigrated into the U.S. I've never seen any of them.
I have heard about the series of four signs that read, "fellow speeders - let's rehearse - all together - good morning, nurse".

Back in the day RAF and related airmen were nicknamed "Brylcreem Boys". Only really worked for the more snobbish British ones though, the rougher British airmen who joined after it started and the average Commonwealth pilot were far more rough.
