I hate Political campaign jingles, They were so annoying. One of the biggest strategies of politicians to get votes is to get a popular song, butcher its lyrics and make it a political jingle to get people's attention. Oh gosh, they where so annoying and for someone who works in the night shift, they were disturbing my sleep.
There is a politician here who decided to change the lyrics of "call me maybe and their campaign truck stayed on my street for 2 hours and hearing that butchered version for 2 hours with their loud speaker drives me nuts.
I dont like Justin Bieber and Nicky Minaj and hearing a Justin Bieber and Nicky Minaj song into a political jingle makes it worst. Its like the worst of both worlds.

There are good jingles and there are jingles that are not clear and it just makes noise. Some jingles are poorly made they tried so hard to fit the words with the latest music. We have a Voltes V tune, the gangnam tune.

The gangnam one must be illegal because Psy actually refused togve permissions to politicians.
I hate the Cynthia Villar Theme (its original though so give themkudos for originality) but damn,that thing is so catchy its stuck on my head but I wont vote for her.
someone in my place used Voltest V too.

Yeah it stucks on our head, it lingers in the air. The kids just sing it every time. Don't vote them especially if their jingles are annoying.

Right! Politicians jingles are very noisy now these days. Further, I don't understand the point of their jingles, I cannot understand the meaning of it that is just a waste of money. It is just a waste of money and time and it's a headache. Creating more wrinkles.

the lyrics are the same cliche of jingles, the lyrics says they were religious, cares of nature, cares of the rights of women and they were ready to serve people.

There's the Nobody version of an aspiring congressman, there's a Voltes V theme by a candidate who I cannot recall. Some are really good made while others seems like muttering rather than singing to be honest. I don't think the candidates will go for a bieber and a Minaj- too much creativity and there might a struggle for the singer to actually sing the lyrics.

A candidate in my city used Baby by Bieber and Super Bass by Minaj.

The truth I don't understand any jingle anymore because there are so many channels around. So noisy I just want to tell them to shut up!
You can put on your headset all day long.

In our province of Bulacan, politicians have already used the songs: Pusong Bato, Superbass (Nicki Minaj), Baby (Justin Bieber) and a whole lot more. I only dont care much about those so I can only recount those three.

First time that a political campaign reached this remote area where I reside. We are indeed lucky that seldom do these noisy campaigns intrude upon the peacefulness of our barrio. Instead of being annoyed, we appreciated the fact that these local candidates made an effort to reach our place so that they will witness the sad state of the barangay roads. There were lots of cars and jeeps and the loudspeaker was playing a familiar local song Pusong Bato butchered to become a campaign jingle. I wonder if these people paid the composer when they used said song. From what I believe, there are intellectual property rights that political candidates have to consider before they start using the songs for their campaign jingles no matter if they changed lyrics to suit their own purpose.
