Advertising Jingle Earworm Transmission Begins Now
May 5, 2012 7:37 PM Subscribe
TVAdSongs.com houses a library of 1,515 songs from TV and Radio ads, and that’s how my jingle earworm attached. Pretty soon I’d discovered that Barry Manilow used to include a bit he called "Our VSM" (short for our "Very Strange Medley" of songs he’s composed for commercials) in each of his concerts. (Weezer’s a big fan - previously). That’s where it struck me personally how insidously omnipresent these songs were (and are). Pretty soon, the earworm took over. So, I figure, what better way to get rid of a tune stuck in your head than to share it with the rest of the world? So, here goes — I am prepared for your curses. | "A" is for Apple, "J" is for Jacks • And They Call It... Charlie! • Break Me Off a Piece of that Kit Kat Bar ...

WRT Barry Manilow - if you're a Gen X'er of a certain age, your pre-teen years were filled with the conviction that Casey Casem was the arbiter of cool, and that Neil Diamond and Barry Manilow were the most fantastic rock-and-roll acts every to grace the globe. Why?
Because Mom listens to them. Ardently.
Then puberty hits, and you start forming your own opinions, based on what other teenagers rather than what Mom thinks.
And for the next twenty years, Neil Diamond and Barry Manilow are pretty much synonymous with crap mass-media dreck force-fed to lonely housewives.
But, then, Sweet Caroline becomes the 7th inning stretch song of the Red Sox, and more, Dicky Barret of the Bosstones has "I Am I Said" as his favorite tattoo. So, cautiously, you start to listen to some old Diamond songs.
Shit. Some of these are actually pretty damn good... it shatters worlds. Shifts expectations, opens eyes. What else have I been missing?
And then Barry. Irredeemable Barry. The wimp's wimp, a NYC wimp accent you could butter bread with, inexcusably twee arrangements. Take moment, a deep breath, and then dive back into his discography, examining his songs with a new, neutral criticality...
OMG THIS SHIT IS TERRIBLE TURN IT OFF OMG TURN IT OFF NOOOOOOOO....

Lies. Damned lies.
Barry is a showman above showmen. His live appearances give the audience the impression that he's doing an intimate show in someone's living room for all 13,000 of you who happened to show up. And it's each in your own living room, and it's the best party guest you've ever invited.
And all that aside, his songs are actually really fucking good songs. Melodically interesting, lyrically memorable (whether he wrote the words himself or had a lyricist partner in writing), depicting emotion in a non-ironic way, whether it's melancholy or joy. And well arranged, like as well arranged as any Carpenters or ABBA track, both acts who were mocked mercilessly in the past and who have finally received the paeans which are their due.
Sure, he may be a bit corny. But buried under that corn is a musical talent which is difficult to match in any other living songwriter/performer today. He can take the simplest thing and make it touch your heart.
If you haven't seen him live, you haven't really seen anyone truly perform on stage. If you haven't discovered the magic of his recorded music, you're missing out on a catalog which is going to live a lot longer in the world than most of what is popular today.

I had one I wanted to share so much, and it was NOWHERE TO BE FOUND on the intertubes. So I uploaded it myself: Pabst makes it - perfect! (I hope that doesn't weirdly count as self-linking somehow)
Pabst used to run these ads back in the mid 50s on the X Minus One science fiction radio show, and I just happen to have listened to a million of them through the amazing archive.org page. Enjoy!

This seems like a vital place to tell people how to kill an earworm. I just read the title of one jingle and that was enough to give me one.
I once read about a neuropsychologist who researched this problem and said that the reason we get earworms is that our memory is trying to fill in the rest of the song from memory and gets stuck in a loop trying to recall it completely. So his suggestion was to find the song and listen to it once all the way through. Since the song is not always available or you might not even remember what it is, there is another cure. Mentally "sing" to yourself a short, familiar, repetitive song with a definitive ending, with an emphasis on the final note. I use "Happy Birthday" (this version seems most effective for me). The idea is that completing one song to its conclusion, from memory, shuts down other looping memories.
Works for me every time. I can't remember the name of this neuropsychologist, or where I read about this cure, but he deserves the Nobel Prize in Medicine.

I find the Green Acres theme song works great for this. Sing it out loud to yourself complete with the "da-da-da-DA-da.. DA!DA!" instrumental bits, and you'll have driven out the song stuck in your head.
(You may subsequently have the Green Acres song in your head, but... oh well.)

Barry is a showman above showmen.
He is damn amazing. I was working as a house stagehand in my teenage years, and I saw that Barry Manilow was on my schedule, and immediately started mocking him, with the regular teenage snark about how horrible and square he was.
And then I worked his show, and damn was I wrong in so many ways. He was a total professional as soon as he arrived, and treated everybody, regardless of their station, with a friendly ease you don't see often with headlining solo artists of his caliber. He charmed everybody, from the hungover metalheads running cable & lights to the grumpy union electricians who would give a hard time to everybody, but melted like butter to his request for a few things that were not in the original stageplan. He didn't come off as manipulative, or as a kiss-ass, he was just so appreciative, so damn earnest and excited to perform, you just wanted to help out and make it happen.
I'm not much of a fan of his music, but his skill as a performer and his personal behavior before and after the show were top notch. I stood there amazed as he managed to convince 30,000 people that he was singing just for them alone, and connecting with each person in such a kind, humble, funny and charming way that would make even Billy Dee Williams say "Damn, he's smooth!" He had somehow figured out a way to make each woman in the audience feel special, as if they were on the perfect date, just with him. It was fascinating.
After that show, I never mocked Barry Manilow again. When his name comes up, I'll speak in his favor every time; with the simple respect he showed for me and the other people on the crew, he deserves it. Have whatever opinion you like about his music, but as a performer and a professional musician, he's top-notch.

My mother (as above noted) was a huge Barry Manilow fan. And on his Live! album, he performs the Very Strange Medley. And since it's a live album, you can hear the audience response to it.
And they love it. Sure, this was 1978, and a lot of popular performers of the day didn't talk about their previous work before hitting it big, and they certainly didn't talk about writing jingles, but he did, and he sounded proud of it, too. And the audience really just seemed to enjoy it, too.

Was out in the sun the other day and it occurred to me that I really needed to put on sunblock. And then --out of nowhere -- the ghost of "Bain de Soleil for the San Tropez tan" came to me. ARGHHHH, earworm jingles. I just can't thank you for this, not_on_display.

It is a sign of how pervasive those songs are that I can hear nearly all of them with perfect clarity just by reading the links.
And I almost completely stopped watching TV around 1980.

I was so excited about going through these clips, but I cringed once I clicked on the earworm took over link. That commercial is by far the most annoying commercial out there.
That commercial sounds just as gross as someone scratching their fingernails on a chalkboard or someone loudly scraping a fork against their teeth.
