Jingle / ˈdʒɪŋɡ (ə) l /Definition: a short catchphrase or melody made to be easy to remember.
According to research, us Brits spend 58 minutes a week with an advertising jingle stuck in our heads. Imagine if you wrote that tune – how fun famous you would feel. You could get inventive with your musical instruments, using every day items in your home like your pots and pans or drumming on the kitchen table. Or how about making a shaker using the pepper pot? Who would you get involved to help you sing the tune? I would ask my sister as she has a lovely voice, and get my nephews to make up a dance routine! Let your imagination run wild. We all love radio jingles, don’t we? And imagine winning that £10,000 prize money.
To inspire you, I’ve gathered the top 5 UK Jingles of all time.
No. 1 – ‘Just One Cornetto – Give it to me!’
At the top of the list is ‘Just One Cornetto’ the popular ice cream cone by Walls. The ad uses the tune from the famed Neapolitan song “O Sole Mio.” I remember this tune from my childhood in the 1980s and I used to love singing it.
The ad was so popular in the 80s that Princess Diana was even said to have launched into it with her bridesmaids while she was dressing for her royal wedding. LOL!
No. 2 – ‘Go Compare’
Next we have the ad for Go Compare a company that offers comparisons of financial services like insurance. The song is sung to the tune of George M. Cohan‘s “Over There.” This has had over 174K views on youtube that is how popular it still is.
No. 3 – ‘P-P-P-Pick up a Penguin’
Cute fluffy penguins steal the show in this ad for a popular chocolate snack. I bet this jingle gets stuck in your head all day!
No. 4 – Mars
This ad feels little dated for our times but the jingle is an advertising classic.
No. 5 – Chicken Tonight
An ad for Chicken Tonight comes in last. Although this ad hasn’t appeared on our TV sets for 10 years, it still rings true with us Brits. To see the full list of the top TV Ad 10 jingles click here. Food jingles are really popular aren’t they!
