When Young and Rubicam in Detroit decided to change public perception of the Lincoln-Mercury Cougar, they settled on music and image as the message. They chose hit songs of 20 years ago to appeal to customers ages 25 to 44, and the result was a series of 1960s music videos featuring a 1980s car.

"The traditional commercial that just says 'the product that does this and that' tends to put people to sleep," said Chuck Snearly, a spokesman for Young and Rubicam. "We first wanted to get on the right people's shopping list. Then we can follow up with information about the car through printed ads and brochures," he said. Since the campaign started two years ago, the average age of a Cougar buyer has dropped from 41 years old in 1983 to 35 in 1986, Snearly said. Five years ago, commercial makers faced the simultaneous emergence of widespread cable television, videocassette recorders and upgraded remote controls for television sets.

A remote control, especially combined with cable TV, gave viewers the option of' switching to other shows during a commercial, a practice the industry calls "zapping." A viewer could also hit the mute button, the electronic equivalent of punching out the huckster. On videocassette machines, viewers skip fast-forward, or "zip," through recorded commercials. Amid the zipping and zapping, advertisers got the message: Matdi MTV or die. "If there's any kind of trend, it's that music has finally reached the status of being as important as the picture," Lubinsky said. "As recently as five years ago, people who wrote music were back seat.

Ford's Lincoln-Mercury cars chase down Big Chillers with rerecorded versions of such 1960s hit tunes as Steppenwolfs Born to be Wild, Creedence Clearwater's Proud Mary, and the Beatles' Help and Good Day, Sunshine. Lubinsky works with partner lion Hick-lin in their HLC jingle agency, home of such hummers as What the Big Boys Eat (Wheaties) and You Are The Dreamer (Wall Street Journal). The Ixs Angeles agency produces about 20 songs a week for various clients. "What we have done is change the way people look at commercials," Lubinsky said. "Now they're not so much a story being told as an emotion being conveyed." Viewers always had the option of ignoring commercials, usually by leaving the room.

Programmers retaliated by cranking up the volume, so the ad spiel followed viewers around the house like a pesky salesman. These new-wave commercials typically are aimed at affluent baby boomers and feature either a catchy new jingle or a hit song from the 1960s, platinum production qualities and little or no announcing. Lubinsky and others attribute the new creative approaches to the influence of MTV, which also is counted as one of the competing interests for today's advertisements. Viewers sometimes switch to the cable-delivered music video channel as an escape from ads. There's a lot riding on keeping commercials interesting.

Advertisers spent more than $20.7 billion last year for all types of television advertising, according to Advertising Age magazine. In the Levi commercials, moods and ideas come across in music and visual settings. In half a minute, the viewer has identified the jeans with living in New York City lofts, strutting down streets and falling in love. By RICHARD OE ATLEY Associated Press LOS ANGELES The television commercial's biggest competition was once the kitchen or the bathroom, but electronic advances of the 1980s have raised the battle for attention to new creative heights. "It's gotta be entertaining, it's gotta grab the viewer," said Josef Lubinsky, writer of music for the compelling, mood-soaked Levi's 501 jeans commercials.

"You can't say, 'Look here, this is the anymore. You have to make the widget fly into space and come back Lubinsky, 32, is part of a crew devoted to finding ways of putting the widget in orbit with viewers, and the blast from their ideas may singe the stragglers. Commercials now are aimed at grabbing emotions rather than feeding information. Some are miniepics that evoke patriotism, romance or a particular lifestyle in just 30 seconds.
