The more I look, the more bugged I am. - I first saw the word "jingles" where I would have expected "Jingle". - No time signature. - The repeat-bar at the end of each line would produce a "Jingle Bells" even more repetitious than usual.
First, there's the problem of determining what's a mistake and what's not. First, let's get rid of the "Jingles" in the second line being a mistake. That's not -- they're making a pun. For artistic sake, I think we can also eliminate the positioning of the candies as a mistake. They're oriented oddly to look pretty, like real bells swaying. I think one of them couldn't even lie that way in real life due to gravity. Let's let that one skip, too. Assuming we're supposed to go on the center of mass, the notes are:
B B B B B B B D G A B, which works in the key of G. Let's also assume that the candies are simple x's from someone's lead sheet, so we don't need to worry about timing. That would also eliminate any question of what time signature the thing is in.
I'm a diabetic, so the whole freakin' advertisement's a mistake for me, but I'm pretty sure that's not what you're getting at, either. My blood glucose went up just thinking about these candies.
I'm pretty sure you mean the repeat sign at the end of each measure. That's a mistake, and there's no way around it. I suppose this could be some sort of jazz arrangement, where someone's singing this as something oddball underneath someone else's musical line, but let's hope not.
Well, the second line of the song should be "jingle" rather than "jingles." Also, both lines of music have the repeat symbol, and that's not how the song goes. Finally, "decked-out" shouldn't be hyphenated.
Sad. The dollar off is a pretty good coupon, though :-)
Well the first thing that jumped out at me was not including time values for the notes, but I'm guessing you mean the repeat signs, neither of which belongs there. (I had troubletelling which line/space some of the notes are on, but if I use the most forgiving interpretation of each questionable one it sounds okay.)
Hee hee hee. Nice typo. I guess if you want me to wear my editor hat I would have to say it's a case of subject-verb agreement... bells jingle, a bell jingles, but ne'er do bells jingles. At least they didn't stick an apostrophe in there...
Okay, wait. I looked at it again. So the name of the product is "Jingles", which means that technically they are trying to be "cute" by butchering the song. There must be something more subtle.
Hmm. Is it because it's a sign of the crass commercialism of the holidays? Do you object t Nestle's attempt to move in on the Hershey's Kiss market? Or does the Christmas carol in question not actually repeat in the manner specified?
All whole notes, & I'm not at all certain that they were arranged correctly. Also, no tempo, & you're not supposed to put in the staff at the start of every line. However, I'm no musician.
Um... Well if they're going to pretend to make music, I must take issue with: Repeats on both staves. No time signature. No specific note values. and while I'm on the subject, what about "Jingles" referring to multiple bells? The text below doesn't scan with the actual song they're pretending to represent.
And how about the annoyingness of having that song put into my head at all? I'll be humming it now whether I want to or not.
The only thing that strikes me as slightly odd is "Jingles" on the second line. I would have used "Jingle". And you can possibly make an argument for commas instead of exclamation points. It's hard to tell if they're on the correct lines for the notes of the music. -- Dagonell
1) there's a repeat after the first line - that would have you singing Jingle Bells 4x before getting to Jingle All the Way. Which leads me to
2) I'm pretty sure the second line is supposed to be "Jingle" and not "Jingles" all the way. And finally
3) There's a repeat after "Jingles all the way!" which again makes the song not play out right.
As written, it's Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingles all the way! Jingles all the way!
Of course now that I look closer at the ad, I see that "Jingles all the way" refers to "Nestle Jingles," so I can let that one slide. But the repeats, just wrong.
