Early 1970s. Advertising campaign for Cossack vodka mimicking the work of Roy Lichtenstein (who himself appropriated style and ideas from DC comics, but nothing much is original, and this is no criticism of Roy).

The good news is, all those classic melodies are safely in the bank, and can be accessed anytime on youtube. As for the Cossack advertising campaign, I've been reflecting that a skinful of vodka is unlikely to help a person make the right choice of whom to sleep with.
