Yesterday's radio commercials and related jingles are disposable flotsam and jetsam. Often rescued from the dumpster and tape eraser, here's where they live to celebrate another day, and give us a peek into the pop culture of the past. All material has been sourced from tapes or vinyl discs (records) used on the air at radio stations or dubs of said tapes, transferred for pristine quality when possible.
With halloween tomorrow, I thought I'd go a bit creepy, because, well, nothing says talking about death then a jingle, no matter how tasteful you try to make it. At least in my mind. WKRP did the wole ferriman up tempo funeral home jingle thing back in the 70s, and well they were shooting for laughs, this set of jingles was serious business. I'd love to hear the copy someone would have come up with for these jingles...It would be interesting.
That's not to say there isn't other fun stuff here, The garden side of the disc has some bad puns in the lyrics you sort of expect. Just add a hypy over the top used car salesman type announcer and you'll have a great spot.
The image ideas disc has some very generic comments about sales that you can almost use anywhere....campy as they are.
