Most of this Web Site lists compositions which have an "A" theme,
a "B" theme, and sometimes even a Trio ("C" Theme) --in other words,
they are a "complete composition".
But every once in a while, an old jingle comes to mind--musically
only a trifle, a bon-bon, just a tickle of the little gray memory cells,
and we start wondering, "Who composed that tune and when?"
Perhaps the jingles you remember with fondness are the older ones,
perhaps because they remind you of your childhood or what you believe
were "better times."
Jingles are funny old tunes--almost nursery rhymes--but with a much
more motivating purpose - to get you to think fondly of a product and
buy, buy, buy. It's a curious realization that some of the products
they touted in our memory are no longer actually with us -- yet the
melody lingers on...making us yearn in vain for Barbasol, Rinso White
and Wildroot Cream Oil, Charlie.
So, during our researches into copyright records, if we happened to
come across one of the gems among these mythic old tunes of Old-Time
Radio or Classic TV, we'll take note of it. Now we are sharing the
info we collected here.
The reason we post the entire copyright entry (and some explanatory
material) is so you can see how sometimes, the "composer" actually is
the company for which the jingle is written, or how a jingle may have
been adapted from another song. Some of the companies hiring jingle
composers insisted on taking credit that way (via their lawyers
no doubt) as "employer for hire." But of course, a company can't
write a jingle -- only composers. Sometimes these composers were well
known songwriters or film/TV composers, and sometimes they were
people who were known for composing advertising music. Among those
familiar names were Leon Carr, Leo Corday, Joe Rines, Lyn Duddy,
Richard Adler, Robert Lamar ("Bob") Thompson and Steve Karmen.
Another oddity: One of the most recognizeable jingles on radio and TV
-- for Oldsmobile -- predates commercial radio by at least a couple
of decades -- because it was a popular song in 1905 (!). And several
jingles including the "Chiquita Banana" song also "crossed over" into
pop recordings too in those more innocent less cynical years.
In the listings below, E Unp, or EU refers to the copyright of an an
unpublished composition. The designation EP refers to the copyright
of a published composition. Most jingles are not commercially
published; You can see a list of sheet music folio books which may
contain a classic jingle at our Web Page of Advertising
Jingle Music Folio Books
Sometimes a jingle that was used for years was not published until
much later (like "Halo Everybody Halo" or the "Ajax Jingle" which was
heard in the early days of network radio, but not filed for copyright
as "published" until 1951 -- perhaps when music performance rights
including jingles -- became a source of revenue.)
"In My Merry Oldsmobile" (adapted for the Oldsmobile
division of General Motors)
music by Gus Edwards and
words by Vincent P. Bryan
(c) 1905 by M. Witmark and Sons.
[The tune was adapted for the Oldsmobile Jingle used on
radio and television, including the opening of the
CBS Television News with Douglas Edwards (circa 1949--52)
and the Sam Levinson Program]
"Have You Tried Wheaties?" [Wheaties breakfast cereal]
(c) 1929 by General Mills, Inc.
[performed by "The Happiness Boys"]
[exact copyright filing date and composer(s) still
under investigation]
[The tune was adapted from "Jazz Baby", a popular song originally
published in 1919 by Waterson, Berlin & Snyder Co., New York,
and recorded on a 78-rpm single by pioneering female jazz
singer Marion Harris; the record was released in April of
1919 on the Victor label (#18555-B);
The composers were M. K. Jerome (who wrote the tune) and
Blanche Merrill (who wrote the original words); this song
was also the basis for the "Abbott and Costello TV Theme"
since the show was sponsored by Wheaties at one point;
The TV Theme was a looser adaptation of "Jazz Baby"; claimed
as a separate work by music packager Raoul Kraushaar (who got
ASCAP performance royalties on it for a time);
But the basis for both the Wheaties jingle and the TV Theme
was the melody of this 1919 pop song.
Contributor Pat Coffey tells us that liner notes of the original
soundtrack to the 1967 film musical "Thoroughly Modern Millie"
were written by film producer Ross Hunter. He wrote that when
Carol Channing played the character "Muzzy", the producers
wanted her to sing "Jazz Baby" on the film soundtrack --
perhaps to give it some period authenticity -- but they
discovered "the copyright was owned by General Mills", and
according to Hunter, it took six weeks to sort it out;
Although General Mills may have had the copyright on the version
with new lyrics, it seems the lawyers must have gotten the
best of that deal: By 1967, the 1919 copyright on "Jazz Baby"
would have expired, so the song would have clearly been in the
Public Domain -- Copyrights prior to 1976 ran for a period of
28 years with only one renewal allowed for a total of 56 years,
so the copyright on "Jazz Baby" would have run out in 1965.
If General Mills tried to claim ownership of "Jazz Baby" via
their 1929 version with new commercial lyrics, the prior filing
of the original 1919 song would have settled the matter;
Copyright of the original song would not have been extensible
or applicable unless Carol Channing was to sing the Wheaties
lylric; So it is unclear why it took six weeks to sort it out;
the original filing was right there in copyright records.]

Although there was a 1909 poem by Charles Wakefield Cadman

was adapted for a 1937 popular song...the melody in the
Hamm's Beer jingle is actually an adaptation of the
"Dagger Dance", from the 1911 musical production "Natoma",
composed by Irish-born American Victor Herbert (founder of ASCAP.)

"Roto-Rooter Jingle (Away go troubles down the drain)"
words and music composed by Larry Wellington;
Original arrangement by clarinetist Jerry Richards.
[The "Roto-Rooter Jingle" was composed in May, 1954
in demo form; and first aired in a commercial in
November, 1956;
Larry Wellington was the Creative Director of the
"United Film and Recording Studios" of Chicago; this
is also the studio where it was recorded; Wellington
was also known as an accordian player with a group
called "Lousie Massey and The Westerners" -- who
were regulars on the WLS "National Barn Dance",
a national radio show originating from Chicago;
Wellington also scored a couple of B-movies during
the 1950s.
The same recording was used in commercials produced
for 10 years, until 1966; The original instrumentation
heard on the air behind the singers was: clarinet, bass,
accordian, wood block and guitar;
The original jingle was performed by Tom C. Fouts who
was known as Captain Stubby, and his backup group --
The Bucanneers (also regulars on WLS's "National
Barn Dance")...according to Paul Abrams, Roto-Rooter's
2003 Public Relations manager, this jingle is one of the
few compositions that have been in continuous use
for nearly 50 years (albeit in different arrangements.)
Abrams said that Tom Fouts used what he called his
"froggy" voice on the words "Away go troubles down
the drain", and that Fouts also was the voice of
"Little Sprout" in the original Green Giant commercials.
Tom C. Fouts was born on November 24, 1918, in Carroll
County, Indiana]
