I need your help.
If you have read this blog for the last few weeks, you will likely know that I have written my own jingles regarding various underappreciated jobs belonging to women all across this land. The jingles are set to the tune of a famous beer commercial. My versions were called "Ms. Salad Bar Stocker Lady" and "Ms. Wal-Mart Greeter and Receipt Highlighter". In the back of my mind, I suspected that I may have crossed a line when using a title for these series of songs that so closely resembled the "real" commercials. I posted them anyway because, after all, my blog is just a little blip in the big blogging world and who cares what I post anyway?
That's why I need your help. What should it be? What should I call my version of the songs? It kind of has to go with the rhythm. Here are a few I have thought about...
These Ladies Should Be Famous
Get These Women Some Peanuts
These Women Like the Green Bus
These Girlfriends Are Smart (blah!)
If you are not sure what I am talking about because you've never read my little rendition, click here to go to sing along with "Ms. Salad Bar Stocker Lady" and click here to go to sing along with "Ms. Wal-Mart Greeter & Receipt Highlighter".
Surely you can help me.
And I will call you Shirley.

Low Paying Ladies
Aw, honey. I like "Get These Women Some Peanuts" and I would just refer to the big, big, big, big, big beer company as...well...the big, big, big, big, big beer company! OR the bbbbbbc. You know, for short. WE'LL all know whatcha mean! It'll be like an inside joke, and we'll all feel all connected and stuff. Yay, warm and fuzzies!
Whatever, that's pretty petty of the beer company, they should be flattered instead that a witty jingle girl is using their tune!
I'll have to give the new title some thought.
Oh Kelley - I think the big, big.....beer company was just shocked that a Lady (such as your self) could come up with WAY better jingles than their "jhorts" wearing jingle! ;) I will have to think about the new title
Women need nuts?
pfft. Stupid beer company.
I'm with copyboy's Unappreciated Ladies of Industry. As for the BBBBBC, their beer sucks anyway and now I definitely won't buy it the next time I get invited to a family pig-pickin. I'll bring my Magic Hat and let my redneck cousins make fun of me for drinking "Yankee Beer". In fact, I think since you already lost your head, you should take the scalping one step further and contact a "yuppie beer company" and ask if they want to sponsor your new ladies of industry jingles. Tecate, anyone?
Oh, wow! You are big time now, infringing on those poor little beer company's rights!!
I think your song title should have something with "boobs" in the title.
Why would you contact the very big beer company? Of course they would tell you to take them down, whether they have legal grounds or not. And if you didn't, and they found out? The worse they could do is send you a court order to take them down. Anyway, I agree with Kristina that the title should have the word "boobs" in it. Good Luck!
I think they'll be calling you later to buy the rights to your jingles...or maybe offer you a position as jingle writer blogger lady....
Sad story. For Walmart person, how about "Big Box Retail Store Greeter Person"? Non-specific and politically correct (person). Let's see. Salad Bar...didn't read that one so I'll take a guess. Try - "Sneeze Guard Perusing Green Leafy Vegetable Grazer." Again - PC enough to keep "Mr. Big Beer Company Corporate A-tor-her-neys" off you back.
That is lame. I'd just ignore them. They are not going to go after a blog like yours. I mean, your blog is kick butt, but they have bigger fish to fry. I am calling heir bluff.
Don't lose this feature. It rules.
Unappreciated Ladies of Industry does have a certain ring to it.
Or then there's something where people could still figure out you were referring to BBBBBBC without saying anything in your blog about it, if you went with something like Authentic Women of Superior Intelligence. ;O)
Keep the feature!!!
I'm impressed with your morals. Where do the lines of creativity and borrowing from others meet? There really isn't an answer. If you did the wrong thing and need to lose your head, so does the rest of the blogosphere and entertainment industry at large. I wouldn't worry about it. As far as a name:
High Lighters (?)

Peanuts. Anything with peanuts is delicious.
Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't....oh that's a candy bar theme?!
Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me?! Oh that's a song?
I need to think for a smidge...stupid beer always ruins the fun especially when you drink too many.
I'm shocked they told you to do that! People make parodies all the time. I guess it's okay if you don't come right out and say what you are making a parody of?
They sound hilarious and I think you should still do them. *Hi, I just met you from Melinda's blog and yet I somehow think that qualifies me to tell you what to do*
I'm impressed that you threatened the "real men of genus". That's as good as getting called up to the big leagues is it not?
"Just your every day average normal girl" comes to mind, but I think that's plagerized too.
I'm coming late to the party (as usual, hence why I'm seldom invited to parties) but I have to go with peanuts. Peanuts rock.
Unless you're allergic.
Then they're deadly.
And let's face it, deadly is cool in that Russian-assassin-type way.

Comments make me feel like I'm not talking to the wall. Don't get me wrong. I love talking to walls. Some of my best friends are walls. Still, I like hearing from you, so thanks!
