As extreme emotions rise within us all during these presidential primaries, keep in mind that angry thoughts, tearful breakdowns and power struggles are normal in marriage counseling. We’ll never agree on how to hang the toilet paper, but we’re stuck with one another.

1) Jeep – “4x4ever”

This spot topped our list because – instead of using a well-known popular song – DDB Chicago introduced us to an unknown song by an unknown artist. It’s refreshing to see agencies take risks like this.

Agency: DDB Chicago
Original Music: Morgan Dorr

2) T-Mobile – “Restricted Bling”

If we judged these spots solely on entertainment-value, this would be the winner. Yes, music clients actually make requests like this.

Agency: Publicis Seattle
Production Company: Prettybird
Director: Paul Hunter
Licensed Music Track: ‘Hotline Bling’ by Drake

3) NFL – “Super Bowl Babies”

A perfectly executed mix of sentimentality, pomposity & self-deprecating humor. What a massive undertaking this must have been.

Agency: Grey NY
Location Production: Park Pictures
Directors: Lance Acord and Chris Wilcha
Music/Sound Design: Human

4) Honda – “A New Truck To Love”

50% of the people at Super Bowl parties don’t give a crud about the game. The one I attended was no different. But when this commercial came on, all conversation ceased.

Agency: RPA
Production Company: Hungry Man
Director: Bryan Buckley
Re-Record & Sound Design: Beacon Street Studios

Scientists are still debating the validity of “The Mozart Effect” – the notion that listening to the music of Amadeus Mozart was the primary reason 12 test subjects performed better on an IQ test than test subjects who either listened to relaxation music..or complete silence. As a southerner who has never set foot in a laboratory, I’ll declare myself an expert on this topic.

Because when I listen to Mozart’s music, I feel smart. I welcome leatherbound books. I feel an urge to fuss with my tuxedo. The rhythmic motion wakes up my brain. The gentle instrumentation gives me room to think. And the emotional tenderness brings my guard down. I go into what some call a “teachable moment”. I think those scientists were onto something.

The 18 tracks in this week’s Serious Thinking Collection #746 contain those essential ingredients I mentioned. These beautfully crafted tracks will prepare the brains of your audience to receive complex, important messages……or an IQ test.

Coincidence? We think not. Music that feels rapid and rhythmic wakes up your audience and makes them want to do stuff.

Here is a hand-picked collection of 16 royalty-free production music tracks that will do just that. Enjoy.
