190 – Top 5 Commercial Jingles

If it’s a jingle, let it mingle.

As much as we try to skip as many ads and commercials as we can this day in age, capitalism always finds a way to rears it’s claws to sink itself into our brain through the power of catchy advertising earworms. There’s an art to a commercial jingle that sets it apart from traditional songs. A good commercial jingle needs to catch your attention in a short span of time and make you subconsciously think about it, so when you are ready to make a purchasing decision it’s the first one you think of. It’s a strange and somewhat nefarious tradition but when done right at least you got something fun to hum along to! So join Tuong La and the A-Team Samantha Leggatt, Angus MacDonald, and Leslie Cserepy as they reminisce and sing along to some our favourite tunes that refuse to leave our minds and rank Top 5 Commercial Jingles.
