The Catchiest Commercial Jingles Ever

Ever wonder why you still know every word to a jingle from the ’80s? In this episode of The Music in Me, I take you on a fun, nostalgic trip through the catchiest and most unforgettable commercial jingles of all time. From the very first Wheaties tune in 1926 to cultural hits like “I Want My Baby Back Ribs,” “Meow Meow Meow Meow,” and yes—even the love-it-or-hate-it “Kars-4-Kids”—we’ll explore the songs that got stuck in our heads and changed advertising forever. Plus I share a hilarious personal story about creating her own jingle in college (spoiler: her family still remembers it). We’ll also look at how jingles evolved into today’s sonic branding, and why these little earworms are still so powerful. So, get ready to laugh, sing along, and maybe get a tune or two stuck in your head.JINGLES MENTIONED...Wheaties - "Try Wheaties" credited as the 1st radio commercial jingleCoca Cola - "I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke"Nationwide Insurance - "Nationwide is on Your Side"Kit Kat - "Gimme a Break"Folgers Coffee - "The Best Part of Waking Up"Alka-Seltzer - "Plop, Plop, Fizz, Fizz"State Farm - "Like a Good Neighbor"Oscar Mayer Bologna - "My Bologna Has a First Name"Chilis - "I Want My Baby Back Ribs"Kars4Kids - "1-877-Kars-4-Kids"Meow Mix - "Meow, meow, meow, meow"Toys "R" Us - "I Don't Wanna Grow Up, I'm a Toys "R" Us Kid"What did you think of this episode?
