How Commercial Jingles Work

Chuck and Josh dive into the surprisingly fascinating world of commercial jingles, exploring how those catchy little tunes have been getting stuck in our heads since the 1920s. They discuss the psychology behind earworms, share stories about famous jingle writers like Barry Manilow, and trace the evolution from simple product songs to modern pop music licensing. The hosts also touch on how jingles shaped radio and TV programming, why they work so well at embedding themselves in our memories, and how advertising has adapted in the age of DVRs and streaming.
