I can't help but think of a 1950s Brylcreem b&w tv commercial-- I'd love to find a video!
Scene: a teenage boy looking at his hair in the bathroom mirror.

He says, running his fingers through his messy hair: "Life's a mess."

Jingle:
"Brylcreem, a little dab'll do ya,
Brylcreem, you'll look so debonnaire,
Brylcreem, the gals will all persue ya,
They love to get their fingers in your hair."

Next frame: boy uses Brylcreem, combs his hair,
Final frame:
Boy smiling.
