The current tv commercial for Pigeon Forge, TN, has a child singing a jingle about all the wonderful things to do there. I am positive I’ve heard this tune before with different lyrics and it’s driving me crazy trying to remember. Anyone know where I’ve heard this tune before?

Here’s the commercial: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvQdVpgsKWM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvQdVpgsKWM)

Sounds like that Bo Diddley beat, shave and a haircut.

It has the Bo Diddley Beat and sounds a lot like **Hand Jive**.

I should have posted and then went and found the sample videos. 😉

Ah yes, it definitely has that beat. Thanks. I’m sure I’ve heard the whole tune before with the rhythm of the words and the one part where she sings a higher note (which she can’t quite reach, but it’s cute.)  
I’m thinking it’s a repurposed jingle or tune with new lyrics.
