I’d Like To Teach The World to Sing: The Commercial Jingles of Our GenX Childhoods
They were only 30 seconds long, but somehow they’ve lived in our brains for 40 years. In this episode, we dive into the unforgettable (and occasionally regrettable) commercial jingles of our GenX childhood. From “I’d like to buy the world a Coke” to “Plop, plop, fizz, fizz,” we’re unpacking the tunes that made us sing, shop, and sometimes cry.
Find out which jingle makes Carolyn very anxious (spoiler: it involves a meat product), and which one got Kristin in trouble back in the day. Join us as we hum, cringe, and celebrate the musical marketing magic of the 70s and 80s—where every brand had a beat, and every beat sold something.
