short, catchy songs or tunes used in advertising; or makes ringing, metallic sounds.
From Middle English 'ginglen,' possibly imitative in origin (made to sound like the noise itself). The word perfectly imitates the sound it describes—a jingling sound.
Jingles are literally designed to get stuck in your head—they use simple melodies and rhyming words because advertising companies discovered that repetitive sounds lodge into human memory!
