Top 10 Kid’s Game Jingles From The ’80s And ’90s

A trip down jingle memory lane in no particular order, because it's just too hard to choose.

Don’t Wake Daddy

This classic game from the 90s features one heck of a jingle. The point of the game, don’t wake daddy or he will pop up and send you right to bed. It should be noted that daddy is all alone. The Don’t Wake Daddy, Daddy was an icon for single 90s dads everywhere. Don’t wake him. He finally cried himself to sleep again.

Mouse Trap

“I guarantee, It’s the craziest trap you’ll ever see!” Another amazing Jingle for an amazing game. This commercial comes from the early 90s featuring the once barely famous Matthew Lawrence, brother of Joey Lawrence of Blossom fame. WHOA!!! At it’s core this commercial spotlights a pompous cat manipulating kids for his own personal gain. Top hatted Cat: “Hey kids, play this game. It has nothing to do with catching these mice so that I can take them back to my lair and disembowel them.”

Connect 4

"Go for the glory. Go for the score. Go 4 it. Connect 4!" These kids are so engrossed in going for the glory that they haven't touched one kernel of their popcorn. Also notice at :09 seconds the girl is telling one of the red pieces where to go. What a controlling monster. Even still, great game. Great jingle.

Hungry Hungry Hippos

Another Great jingle from the 80s. Who didn’t love this game? I always made my little brother be the pink Hippo. Even when it was just the two of us playing.
