Jingles are the neural equivalent of space junk, in intracranial orbit 
forever.  I can still recall the Robert Hall jingle of a half century ago 
that boasted of RH as a wonderland where "the values go up-up-up and the 
prices go down-down-down."  I guess the burden of that philanthropy proved 
too much for RH since it seems to have gone out of business long ago.
