The Jingle-Tune-Or-Catchprase Title Contest begins today!

This contest, which I’ve just made up, will be a competition to see who can post the most eligible entries on this blog in the next month. For your entry to be eligible, the title of the post must contain a refrain (or the entirety) of a commercial jingle that reminds us of days long past or long present. For example, Trevor’s post “Like A Good Neighbor” makes us finish the tune in our head with “State Farm is there…” (Trevor starts this competition with one point.) Alternately, you can use a slogan or catchphrase from a commercial product (as long as that product does not carry its own jingle…like Lucky Charms — they are magically delicious, all right, but there’s no song). Also, TV show themes will count for points.

Here’s the thing, though. It must pertain to the subject. You can’t just title your post “Save Big Money At Menard’s” and then not talk at all about money (or Menard’s). Use your head. Make a good choice. I will moderate, since a) I initiated this contest, and b) that way I can change the rules if I want to. I’ll leave a comment notifying you that you’ve received a point.

Also, for all of you out there who aren’t contributors to this blog…you can play, too. If you leave a comment that slyly incorporates a jingle tune phrase or slogan into your comment, you will also get a point. But you must use complete sentences. I will not have the rules of the language abandoned for the sake of crushing your opponents. That’s what fists are for.

Good luck, everybody!
