{Sing it with me!} The best part of wakin’ up….
…is Folgers in your cup!
Seriously though, not sure if it’s because I’m a Mom and I am a serious coffee drinker, or the fact that I’ve heard this jingle in commercials literally since I was born, but this famous tune gets stuck in my head whenever I hear it.
That iconic Folgers® jingle has really become a piece of pop culture and is arguably one of the most recognizable jingles in advertising. And no wonder– it’s been going strong for over three decades on the tip of people’s tongues. The original jingle debuted in 1984 and has since been transformed into country, gospel, jazz, R & B, folk, Celtic, and a cappella versions.
What’s cooler is that Folgers is inviting aspiring musicians to put their spin on it and make it their own.
Folgers has a long-standing tradition of inspiring musicians to follow their dreams, and this year, they’ve teamed up with country music singer-songwriter Chris Young to encourage aspiring musicians to create their own version of the iconic Best Part of Wakin’ Up™ Jingle in the Folgers Jingle Contest.
Any musicians out there? Here’s how it works:
Submit a video of your best version of the jingle on the website now through February 27th. Your version of the Jingle must include the complete melody and complete lyrics of “The Best Part of Wakin’ Up is Folgers in Your Cup.” (All the rules and guidelines are at the website.)
From February 27th to March 19th, they will choose 5 semi-finalists and each will have a mentor session with Chris Young before the online vote.
From March 27th to April 24th, fans around the country will get the chance to vote daily for their favorite jingle. Every vote automatically enters you to win prizes up to $10,000.
Then, in May, one winner will be selected to win the grand prize of $25,000!
So be sure to enter the contest (or share it with someone who will!) and vote for your favorites.
