Episodes 313 and 314 - The Jingle-Bangers and Adver-tunes Mixtape

Download

Given the sheer amount of work we've done lately on the pod, we thought we'd do something a little easy and do an episode on music in advertising. Except, it actually turned out to NOT be that easy because, well, this is a pretty fascinating topic. In side A we talk about the history of music in advertising and pick a couple of examples.

In side B we break down the usage of music in ads into four categories: best original ad jingles and songs, songs made famous by adverts, famous songs best appropriated, songs ruined by ads. We also hear from our listeners on their favourite and least favourite tunes in adverts.
