Barry Manilow wrote jingles but, Brian Johnson was actually belting them out...Vacuum belting them out. He was here singing a commercial for Hoover.

We all want a job that doesn’t suck! Just before joining AC/DC Brian Johnson was singing advertising jingles like this one for Hoover Vacuum cleaners!

Imagine going from singing this to shortly after recording one of the great albums in ‘Back In Black’! pic.twitter.com/zHYqe9mMJs

If you asked Tank why he got in to radio he will tell you “Some kids wanted to be Zach Morris. I wanted to be ‘Dr’ Johnny Fever.” There isn’t anything else in the world that Tank could see himself doing.
