A Commercial Jingle for Regina CometTwo nobodies dream of writing one hit song for everybody, but their day job composing jingles for commercials isn’t the big break they hoped for.

They’re so close to the big-time that they can smell it, but following your passion doesn’t always lead where you expect. Making a hit song can be messy. |
