- <p> Whistle a catchy commercial tune, and chances are it's by
- David Buskin and Robin Batteau. The self-styled "Tarzans of the
- jingle" are TV's hottest composing team. Ditties like Heartbeat
- of America for Chevrolet and Good Time, Great Taste for
- McDonald's, among dozens of others, have transformed the
- mustachioed Buskin from "a good folk singer to a good folk
- singer with a swell co-op." Adds Batteau: "When I write a good
- song, it makes me cry. When I write a good jingle, it makes me
- want to buy real estate."
