Jing'em all the way Friday August 25, 2000

Where have all the jingles gone?

tv tunes

Oh how marketing has changed! Where we used to hear sweet little jingles that would stick in our heads until we bought the product, we now hear tired old rock and roll songs selling our favourite brand. What happened? Have people run out of ideas? Is it easier to re-purpose a Steppenwolf classic than it is to come up with a peppy little jingle to sell your Viagra Van - or Macintosh mouse for that matter?

Today, we want to celebrate the jingle with the ultimate Pigdump List. And before you start e-mailing us telling us "that's not a real jingle..." we know. We have slipped in a couple that never really sold anything, but are nevertheless part of our society's jingle lore. So if you're ready...
1.Hold the pickles hold the lettuce
Special orders don't upset us...
2.Me and the boys and our 50
Me and the boys and our beer.
3.Hey you're young and swingin'
No time to think about tomorrow
You know you can't deny it
That one day you're going to buy it...
4.If you think it's butter
But it's not
It's Chiffon.
5.The bells ring a-plenty
It's lunchtime already
For you and for me
It's Chef Boy-ar-dee
6.Lifesavers
A part of living.
7.Here we come on the run
With a burger on a bun
And a dab of coleslaw on the side...
8.Have you driven a Ford
Lately?
9.You'll wonder where the yellow went
When you brush your teeth with Pepsodent.
10.Red Cap comes from Carling
It's our favourite brew
We'll drink Carling Red Cap
Flavour through and through...
11.Shake shake Shake-a-Puddin'
Puddin' puddin' Shake-a-Puddin

Tomorrow: We're not kidding.
