B-92 radio stories of This one, made without any help of The Other One

Jingle

Good evening, my name is This One. The Other One apologized, he will come some other time.
You certainly noticed that all the participants in this show have their jingles. Our master of ceremony, Microbe, insisted that I should make one for myself too. As you just heard, it is short, yet attractive, Anthem to Me, performed by Me. I recorded three voices, and I didn't even have headphones to hear previously recorded Me. But even without phones, my sexepile voice shakes your bones.

How do you like my jin-gle-gle-gle-...?

Jingle is very old musical form. It appeared for the first time in England during Rennaisance. This is a common dictionary definition: "Jingle - a light, especially metallic, clinking or tinkling sound."

Is this jingle clinking
or is it rather tinkling?

During last few centuries, jingle went through various deviations as a form, generating: bindle, jangle, bundle, candle, dwindle, scramble, and, during last few years, resemble. For example, this is a typical dwindle:

Is this music "jungle"?
or is it rather "scramble"?

However, jingle got it's today's importance when radio was found. In modern time, good jingle is a crucial thing when you want to convince someone to buy your new shampoo, your new tooth-paste, or someone's single. As I mentioned before, an excellent example of good modern jingle is this, that I made.

How do you like my jin-gle-gle-gle-...?

I'll be a rich man, I'll have my own restaurant,
Every table will have that thing for sugar,
That thing for salt, that thing for pepper,
That thing for flowers, that thing for oil,
That thing for vinegar,
Which I call karafin-dle-dle-dle...

I'll be a famous man, ask whoever you want:
Excuse me, do you know who is This One?
Well, I know, of course, he is That One, you know...
Look him up on any search engine you want,
For example Gooo-gle-gle-gle...

They will tell you: "this is a very common word" .
"There's no point searching for it, it is a too common word".
It is nice to be a common word...

I am honoured to be common
Oh, yes, I am honoured to be common...
