Technically, this isn’t a jingle, but I’ve been looking for this for the longest time.:D Thanks to tingal for posting this!

Are you guys ready? (Btw, click here if you can’t see the video below). Sing!

Captain: Are you ready kids?
Kids: Aye-aye Captain.
Captain: I can’t hear you…
Kids: Aye-Aye Captain!!
Captain: Oh! Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
Kids: SpongeBob SquarePants!

Captain: Ready?
EveryBody: SpongeBob SquarePants! SpongeBob SquarePants! SpongeBob SquarePants!

See? Even this cute little chicken is supporting manners in movie theatres. I really hate it when that happens, especially when it’s a really good scene and you get distracted with someone’s phone playing the goofiest song you’ll ever hear.@_@ It’s a big pet peeve of mine, and I just wish a few more people will exercise some manners.

Did you know that mapmaking is older than writing?

I wonder how that the old explorers made and “read” maps. Did they go and say, “Hey, we’re supposed to go to that place that looks like an elk”? More importantly, how did they know what to name places, if they didn’t know how to write it down? This is speaking from personal experience, because my memory’s incredibly lousy and I have to write things down so I won’t forget.@_@ Who knows? Maybe our countries were named “Potato,” “Carrot,” or “Cabbage” without us realizing it, since their old names weren’t written down anyway.

Man, my sleepiness is getting to me. I’m not making any sense.@_@

“Elmer Arnold.”

I was so proud of saying this name over and over again, without realizing that I’m saying the wrong thing already. Some of the sounds I made kind of resembled “rawl,” “roll,” “larl,” and some other stuff that were just plain… weird.

I guess people were happier calling the dude Mr. Arnold, especially if he happens to be a bit deaf.@_@

After posting my entry on the Electrolux jingle, I got really curious, and I decided to dig a bit and find out what’s up with the song. Lo and behold! Apparently, there is a song where it’s based on, and it’s from the 60s! I knew it was too catchy to be a jingle. Nyahahahahaha!

For all you jingle-heads out there, I present to you this song called (what else?) I’m Gonna Knock on Your Door.

This is Shadowcat, signing out.

I’m Gonna Knock on Your Door

(Aaron Schroeder/Sid Wayne)

Eddie Hodges - 1961

I’m gonna knock on your door, ring on your bell

Tap on your window too

If you don’t come out tonight when the moon is bright

I’m gonna knock and ring and tap until you do

 I’m gonna knock on your door, call out your name

Wake up the town, you’ll see I’m gonna hoot, hoot and howl like a lovesick owl

Until you say you’re gonna come out with me

Hey little girl, this ain’t no time to sleep

Let’s count kisses stead of counting sheep

How, how can I hold you near

With you up there and me down here

I’m gonna knock on your door, ring on your bell

Tap on your window too

If you don’t come out tonight when the moon is bright

I’m gonna knock and ring and tap until you do

(musical break)

Hey little girl, this ain’t no time to sleep

Let’s count kisses stead of counting sheep

How, how can I hold you near

With you up there and me down here

I’m gonna knock on your door, ring on your bell

Tap on your window too

If you don’t come out tonight when the moon is bright

I’m gonna knock and ring and tap until you do

I’m gonna knock and ring and tap and knock and ring and tap and knock and ring and tap and knock and ring until you do

Okay, the DJ thing was corny.:P I was going to upload an accompanying mp3, but the copy I downloaded turned out to be a virus. I knew free stuff online are too good to be true.@_@
