Villages jingle
 

When I go to The Villages website I no longer automatically hear the jingle. Call me crazy bit when I hear that jingle I smile.

I beg to differ... when I hear that jingle I feel embarrassed!

I did say you could call me crazy,lol.

Makes me smile, too...;)

Embarrassed. ?...Really? It's a cute little jingle .What's there to he embarrassed about?:confused:

I actually smile when I hear it but I have to say when I was in my 30s and 40s I would see the ad on television and hear that jingle and roll my eyes - it seemed so old fashioned or dated, but hey, it's catchy!

Bring back the jingle!
 

What did happen to the jingle? I just checked The Villages web site after not looking at it for a couple of weeks, and no jingle. :(

About what?:sing:

I don't think I feel embarrassed but I think the jingle worked against them for some people.

When I told my son about the villages he told me that they had been advertising for years on the golf channel and he was surprised I missed it. I think I tuned the commercials out because of that jingle. That jingle sent the message to me of old fashion, corny and gimmicky. It was an advertising tactic used by used car salesman and mattress kings. No one wants to be tricked.

I think it sent the wrong message. If they portrayed the villages honestly they would have had my interest sooner. To my regret, it got in my way.

Worked against??? How do you explain 125,000 folks?

Yeah. I'd say it was an advertising masterpiece.

I get offended by other stuff. I would never dream to dislike the jingle or worry about stucco.

But that's just me. We are all just precious.:mornincoffee:

In our own ways and.......On our good days.

When I see The Villages signs I sing that jingle and it drives my wife nuts. :sing:

I didn't want to come and check out The Villages because of that jingle - it was so corny. I think it appealed to an older generation.

I love the jingle....it has been my ringtone for the last year.

Before retiring, while I was getting ready for work with Fox and Friends on, I'd hear the commercial and go to the television and watch. Made me happy to think one day it would be our forever home.

Just completing our five months of bliss.....in The Villages!

I'd seen the commercial for years in Miami and kinda had that same feeling. "yeah... right... friendly people on bicycles... give me a break." The song was catchy in that annoying (make fun of it) sort of way.
Luckily we had a friend who'd moved here years earlier and decided to give it a look. One visit and we bought a house.
The song doesn't annoy me anymore. What does is every politician who shows up and says "It's a beautiful day in the Villages..." then looks around with a big smile waiting for the applause... now that's corny.
