The MacNeil/Lehrer Report Theme (Reconstruction)
updated
Let me say it again: this is not "found footage", but in fact a reproduction. I can't stress this enough. I created this as a sort of exercise in emulating analog video, and I think it came out very convincingly. Various types of software was used, but NTSC-rs did most of the legwork in creating a fairly accurate open-reel videotape look. I used videos from Rick Thomas's wonderful Obsolete Video channel in getting the look of the NTSC effect to be realistic, and for that I have him to thank for making those precious (and genuine) off-air recordings readily available for study. The preset I made in NTSC-rs for use in this project may be found here: drive.google.com/file/d/1pJx2GC7c8gpZ6-hznlUtpGRs8L-vaPEW/view?usp=drive_link (link unclickable until Google decides to verify me)
Other software used included Premiere, the fabulous Dehancer plug-in, and Audacity (for audio degradation). Please use this clip and the software mentioned responsibly. It is not my intent to deceive or mislead anyone by creating & sharing this.

For decades having grown up in New England, I've had a tune stuck in my head. I heard it constantly everywhere - at home on TV, in the car on the radio, on streaming, social media, and here on YouTube: this jingle (actually, two versions of the same jingle) for a local chain of tire stores. I wanted to know why it exists, how long it's been around (since at least the 1990s, by my estimate), and just who on Earth made these bangers?
I have no answers to these questions. There isn't a trace of info about the origins of this music at all on the Internet. Someone ought to make a 3-hour-long video essay about this. I'll update this space if new details emerge about its origins.
These audio clips have been sourced from different Town Fair Tire ads found on YouTube at the time of this writing. They've been run through various MVSEP models to isolate the stems, and enhanced slightly using various Audacity effects. MVSEP wasn't entirely successful in seperating the racecar effects in the alt. radio jingle, but it's certainly listenable. I'm satisfied with how they came out.
Nobody beats Town Fair Tire's jingles, and I mean noooooobody. Enjoy!
