Topic: Meow Mix Jingle

A bit of fun!

An effective commercial in the UK captured the ears of the nation with it's unusual Meow Meow Song...

My 'cover' version of this charming and simple jingle composed by Shelly Palmer (1970):

I have no idea if the 'original' proposed jingle had 13 bars or got progressively amended to fit the timing of the commercial. I simply listened to a YouTube video and transcribed what I think I heard and then added a few extra chords here and there!

Glad it brought a smile to your face and a cheery moment to your heart !

The only bit of the commercial I distinctly remember is the first four bars I didn't remember the rest at all, or the product. In fact I've never bought it for any of my dealy-departed cats - they got Go-Cat and other wet meat treats.

How are you getting along with the American Song Book? - I particularly liked the chords you played in Misty - keep up the fine music !!!

Re: Meow Mix Jingle

unfortunately i've never had the opportunity to offer cats anything, including this stuff ... i like them but sadly i'm allergic

the Great American Songbook continues to be my great white whale, i appreciate your asking.  i am in pursuit and hopefully won't suffer the same fate as most of the characters of Moby Dick when i finally get too close
