However, listening to songs about toilet paper, laundry detergent or house appliances borders on sheer cretinism.
People hear them, but do they listen? They listen to real music, not
jingles. Some jingles can cross over - and I’ll never forget the
hardcore version of the 1980s Food Emporium jingle I heard once on
Pat Duncan’s WFMU show - but they’re not going to put Kylie Minogue,
World Burns to Death, or Daft Punk out of work. Daft Punk was used in
a French commercial though.
