Looking for two specific 1970s radio commercials

I've been combing all the airchecks I can find online, but am still trying to find two commercials I haven't heard in over 35 years:

The first should be easy as it's probably national- it was for Midas, and had a jingle starting with a loud car engine then singing "Next time you hear that noise don't compromise- Midasize!" Think this was around 1977-78.

Second may be a little bit harder- it's for a clothing store based in San Francisco called Hastings, which hasn't even been in business for a long time (found one mention of them on the internet referring to them as "long gone".) Probably dates 1974-76, and the jingle was "Hastings (horns), Haaa-stings (horns), the store- in a class- by itself!"

Either of these familiar to anyone? Around the same time as the Hastings commercial, I also remember hearing an ID for station KSFO that was rather creepy from a kid's point of view- it was some electronic notes with someone saying "KSFO" live over it.
