 Retro TV Jingles
A few years ago, about the time of the release of the film Swingers, so-called "Lounge Music" made a big resurgance. Whether you aspired to be a hipster-doofus or remember when Ren & Stimpy was actually a good cartoon, Lounge music painted a perfect background to TV commercials and cartoons - both new and old. After being overloaded with commercials featuring groups like Coldplay, listening to a CD like Music for TV Dinners will transport you back to a more refreshing time in advertising and entertainment.
