Target Commercial Jingle- IN CLASS ASSIGNMENT

This commercial doesn't necessarily have a jingle, but it was the song playing that stuck in my head. The song played in the 2008 and 2009 target commercials was Hello Goodbye By the Beetles. Although i knew the song was sung by the beetles and that was where i originally heard it, after i kept repeatedly hearing it on the Target commercials I would associate Hello Goodbye not with Target but with the beetles. It was also interesting seeing the Target commercial from the early 1980's. They didn't play hello goodbye but they had another song that was familiar to me. The commercial also showed the red target sign at the end, although the songs were different i think the people who created the advertisement had the same idea in mind. This Target commercial is also relevant to my life because I shop there often and I go there whenever I see a sale on a commercial. One time that Target particularly affected my life was this past summer when i was shopping for accessories for my dorm room with my mom. My mom is unable to walk for long periods of time so she needed to use one of the electric wheelchairs in target with the cart attached to it and we were both dying laughing because she knocked down every display she drove by, its just one of those memories that you will never forget.
