    Here it is, all 12secs of it 🙅‍♂️ . But I did manage to sneak in a guitar and bass 😄 It's a chunk of a groove/riff that I tried working into a shorter section that could work as a intro to Radio segment or YT video intro or maybe even get cut up in Seinfeld style 'stings'

    Hey hey!

    I came round after a while to see what's up here and stumbled right into a challenge 😄

    As deadline ahead and me just getting the point after 3rd look, I didn't manage more than a 13 seconds entry 😅
    At first I just saw the meme and tried some power chords to "Jingle Bells", then I had a closer look and read something with "advertising jingles" and tried to cover the Thomy theme from the nineties. After finally reading the full challenge text now, I recorded something that shall sound like a jingle 🤣 Could be an advert for oven cheese or such 😆
    (In future, I really should patiently read everything right at challenge start xD)

    I recorded a simple acoustic guitar tab and some keyboard chords, then added bass and drum VST stuff.

    Stay safe and healthy and have a good start into 2023 everybody!
