A while back, we spoke of the sitcoms which have been neglected in narratives on television history because they lasted a minute or less and were called “commercials” or “ads”. Well, the folks in charge of television have, in their unending quest to keep us entertained, also pioneered the very short music video.
Once again, these suffer in history from being trivialized under the name “jingles”. But these brief ballads, marches, and refrains have stuck in the minds of Americans to such an extent that many of them are the only things viewers remember from the musical interlude. Many were revived for a later generation with new graphics or have had their lives extended by other means (trivia quizzes, say.)
