Jingles dominated the American advertising sector for a large portion of the mid to late 1900s. But now they’ve mostly become a relic of a bygone era. So what killed the jingle? Well, the demise is a result of both a shift in the advertising industry and a hit song by Michael Jackson.

This commercial is on like every other half hour between those court tv shows and maury.

I don't have a favorite, because they're all pretty annoying, but It's funny how one will just pop in my head every now and then.

Crossfire is a classic. It's embarrassing the amount of times I have sung that song.

I HATE when they use actual songs in commercials instead of original jingles, like now I always associate Hot Stuff by Donna Summer with hot stuffed crust pizza

used to perform this song to entertain my parents whenever the power went out

Ugh, I know!! Rakuten is using "Rocket Man" in a commercial and it makes me wanna die. And I could never hear "Love Train" without thinking of beer.

For a split second I read the headline as "The Unexpected Death of Cheddar" and thought Cheddar was getting killed off on Brooklyn 99. I don't know.
