What is interesting here is that two of Barry's jingles have had
long spans. The Band Aid and State Farm jingles, although now have
different versions than the original jingles, still are played,
whereas other jingles and products had a short shelf life. Barry
should be credited with having good melodies in both State Farm and
Band Aid jingles that just sell the product so well. Marvin
