And she's funny. I woke up with the theme from "News Radio" today.

Caught the theme to The Kids in the Hall by Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet (nutty Canadians).

It's a toss-up: I got "The Red Blues," from a film I dislike awfully, Silk Stockings, and the "Let's All Go to the Lobby" song from an era I never got to enjoy. I think there was a version for drive-ins (ah, dirty jammies and dangerous playgrounds).

Caught the theme from National Geographic somehow, and am singing it in my head with the words "Barack O-BAMa. Barack Obama bama bom bom."

Does that count as a jingle? Maybe it's a mantra. Anyway, I have those for words in singsong today.

I have the damned theme to "Glee," a hugely overrated show. Sorry gleeks, those kids should just stop it.

I'm not even posting the tune.

Yes, I know it's been a while but the inventory has been spare. This morning, however, I woke up with the theme from "Get Smart."

Enjoy.

I've been walking around with various incidental music from the Brady Bunch and am stuck on the closing theme. Mostly I had the walking around the backyard music, but I can't put my hands on it on YouTube.

The Season 4 outro will serve.

Is the brunette in this commercial supposed to be their daughter or their "special friend?" Folger's  jingle today.

And run the house. Always "Look for the Union Label."

This commercial used to run a lot when I was a teenager and, yes, we made fun of it (I mean, look at their hair), but see how much "union" was equated with "patriotism?"

My, how times have changed.

I acquired this song from immersing myself in the centennial of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, which is tomorrow, by the way.

Everyone in this country should know what happened to these workers in 1911. Because of lax regulations and inadequate workplace protections, 146 garment workers — all but 23 of them women and girls — burned or jumped to their deaths when fire swept through their building. The doors had been locked to prevent them from leaving their workstations and the fire escape many fled to collapsed beneath them.

It remains the worst industrial factory fire in the history of the United States. The ILGWU was able to exact many of the workplace safety regulations we have in place today — union or no — because of what happened that day.

p.s. the sweatshop biz is alive and thriving in the garment districts of New York and Los Angeles, mostly staffed by undocumented immigrant workers sewing 80-90 hours a day in crappy conditions. Oh, and there are only 800 inspectors employed by the Dept. of Labor to inspect more than six million workplaces across the country.  Shall we hazard a guess as to which government workers big business would like to see downsized?
