the new ones are all terrible and miss the whole point of jingles, which is to get the refrain stuck in your head. you can let any of the new ones play twice in a row and remember nothing, they're plodding turgid messes. who the fuck puts a full measure between "take a stick" and "pull it out" in a fucking gum jingle? chumps, that's who. total chumps

basically a jingle is only worth its salt if it can be sung by 10 year old boys about farts

gotta say I was not expecting anything to challenge the OG jingle, and none of them have any of its earworm quality, but I found myself really enjoying & getting pumped up to Juicy Rap. Not wearing shoes but if I was I def would have got them tied up.

These are supposed to all be irredeemably bad, right?Never thought I'd wind up stanning for the original jingle as a paragon of songcraft relative to any other tune but here we are.

oh whoa. decades-dormant melody-memory instantly reactivated! feel like it's 1991 and I'm about to re-join our scheduled broadcast of tonight's episode of Wheel of Fortune already in progress
this thread also made me remember this, which I want to say I was repeatedly exposed to during airings of Saved by the Bell
