The "I'm a Pepper" jingle was written by Randy Newman ("Short People", "I Love LA", etc) and Jake Holmes ("Dazed and Confused" yes THAT Dazed and Confused). Holmes went on to also write "Be all that you can be" for the US Army, "The best a man can get" for Gilllette, and "Come see the softer side of Sears". The star of the "I'm a Pepper" commercial was David Naughton, who went on to star in "American Werewolf in London" as well as starring in the TV Series "Makin' It" and singing on the hit single "Makin' It" which was the show's theme.
