The No Bullshit Guide to Life

Over the years, I’ve written many “jingles” for clients. Many were words handed over to Ukie Hart, who added terrific music and produced them. Some I wrote the music for myself, some of it was written by others, including Irwin Webb, who also wrote the music for the musical “Johnny,” or “Fresh From Heaven,” or whatever we called it. You can read all about it and hear the songs at www.appleseedmusical.com.

Anyway, this is just kind of a mishmash of jingles in no particular order. It’s not all of them by any means; it’s just what I had handy. Some kind of interesting factoids: I wrote a jingle for Braums many years ago, but they didn’t like it. So a few years later I rewrote the words and sold it to Farm Fresh. The Farm Fresh one is at the end. I also sang most of them, except for the ones Ukie liked someone else’s voice on better (I never agreed with that). I also wrote a jingle long, long ago for Sonic; it’s in here, too. It was actually an entire multimedia campaign; they didn’t buy it. I’d already given them “America’s Favorite Drive-in,” but that didn’t seem to have much effect. Anyway, here’s a sample of my “hits.”
