A parody of a song by Gary Numan.
Recorded by John Fitzpatrick in Arlington, VA
Recorded: 12/18/2015  Released: 12/18/2015  First aired: unaired

Lyrics

This might just be the single dumbest jingle I've done. Sometimes you just have to sing the thing to get the stupid song out of your head....And for putting the story on the air that put this in my head, I blame Nigel the Newsman, but I have to also throw Jeanne an "Eat it, McManus"

Thanks to Mr Lip for the assist cutting the backing track. Hats off....

Jars

Cake in a jar
Now I’ve heard of it all
I guess cake from a pan
Has just got to give way
To jars

Food in a jar
When did that cease to be
Goopy stuff for babies
You know green beans or mashed peas
In jars

[OK, I nuked the Instrumental – but thanks for hanging with me, Rob]

Brains in a jar
Mel Brooks made them funny
Seems abby normal to me
To eat my dessert
From jars

I’m in my car
The rain just barely trickles
Gotta let Michael know
Ask him about putting pickles
In jars

    Pretty, pretty good! "When did that cease to be goopy stuff for babies" is my fave.

    Me too - just a touch of instrumentals for flavoring but anything I can do to keep jingles around a minute is my goal.

    Ha! Even with the number of full length tunes I've done, I have to say I've gone to the dark side as far as excising instrumentals.

    No instrumental break means you can avoid the wrath of Darth Jerry. At least on this song...

    OK, special thanks to Mr Lip of helping me w/ a re-edit of the backing track. Now you get that great jar-cake flavor without the interim instrumental aftertaste!

    What is it with food you eat out of jars? I see that on baking shows now. I don't get it. What's next? We just eat out of a frying pan on the table (or over the sink)? Great tune by the way
