View A-Z List Jargon kill fee on spec and SASE Top Jazz A musical style that evolved from Ragtime and served as dance music in the early twentieth century. It has now evolved into a highly improvisational music form indigenous to America and popular throughout the world. Top Jingle A jingle can be contained in a broadcast advertisement in two ways: A short jingle can alternate with a voice and background music, or the entire commercial can consist of a song whose words provide all the needed information. Most often, a combination of these two approaches is used, with stanzas of musical verse surrounding instrumental interludes that accompany readings of the script. Music for jingles is unique, ear-catching and sometimes repetitive. In creating lyrics, the writer should avoid crowding many ideas into the message and should consider the facility with which the words can be sung. The freelance writer who submits jingle material on speculation may send tape-recorded music either to an advertising agency or to a music production house that furnishes agencies with new material. As in other fields of writing, the established jingle writer will find it easier to obtain jobs than the novice, but any writer will find it difficult to market a jingle unless he is very familiar with an agency's philosophy and the workings of a particular advertising campaign. Each campaign requires a long period of careful planning, and a jingle presented at the last minute is unlikely to fit the campaign's strategy.
