its a chromatically descending chord progression, which honestly isnt too uncommon, this one is just very prominent

Im seeing a lot of people saying they learned it was a scam from the comments but havent seen a single comment explaining *how* it scammed.

[@ForeverFree2Play]

Same. I did a brief Google search myself to come up almost empty handed

[@TemmiePlays]

bc they're zoomers . I'm from the generation this came from. it's not a scam. and it's still a service today. idk who's making it up but it's literally govt backed service that's Free. same as your HEALTH INSURANCE connection programs on USA literally the same thing. neither are scams. every state has a health insurance connection program and it's possible EduCon is mainly for New England ( I only recalled seeing the ads In NE )

[@wordydird]

@@TemmiePlays yeah I grew up with this too. The jingle makes it sound "too good to be true" but it's not a scam afaik.

[@Kidneyjoe42]

@@TemmiePlays It says on their own website that they are a private business not associated in any way with the US government. Looking at Education Dynamics, the company that owns them, it looks like they're funded by the universities themselves. Essentially universities pay them to direct people to them. That isn't inherently a scam. But it does leave more room for less than altruistic behavior, since they're not actually in the business of helping you, but rather the university.

[@PaulFisher]

​@@Kidneyjoe42more importantly, the schools that are going to pay these companies are not legitimate universities, but instead for-profit schools which are almost universally low quality (particularly if they are paying this type of service)

I like that very much "life's unfair so you gotta do what ya gotta do" moment at 0:54 . Most of the times good grades are based on obedience and route memorization, instead of one's intelligence. Know someone who has 200 IQ and just because he was an smartass they kept artificially dropping his grades despite getting every question right. His words not mine: "If your school can't get with the times, you're wasting every student's education here." and he wasn't wrong: the school was tragically dated, 2 decades behind if I remember... Guess you could say there was a... disconnection?

[@IsometricPixel]

I love how fluid and energetic the animation is, you're incredible at emoting characters through movement, as well as working with the song's timing to give things an extra punch. I didn't think it would be possible to love this song more than I already do, but you proved me wrong. I'm happy to have found your channel and work through this, and I hope to see more!

[@sebastianesquivel5011]

It's a little surreal to see people in the comments tying this jingle to soundbytes on TikTok, or thinking it was a scam (which I'm fairly sure it wasn't, though there were a couple that were, an example being the "Gerber Life Grow-Up Plan"). It got me thinking, i saw this on TV at one point, all the time, to the point i was able to memorize it. Now its some media relic for todays kids/teens that'll make some of them think its some "internet mystery-esque" kinda thing from the past. To think some of the people commenting here weren't even born during the time this commercial aired on TV, it's really crazy to think. But anyways, love the little animation, its so smooth, great job.

[@crescent_sun482]

Wait, when did it air? I'm not a six-year-old, but 2007 was not that long ago. So it's possible I could be younger than this commercial... I honestly thought it was from either a commercial or a Net ad. Guess I was right. Edit: or an edited soundbyte (as in Fitness Gram Pacer Test style) and not... part of an actual commercial song. Edit 2: my first somewhat clear memories are from 2010, and my first very clear memories from 2011, so when I was three and four, respectively. And I don't remember this at all. ...then again, I almost exclusively watched PBS Kids...

[@tophat6]

This gave me a massive nostalgia hit, because when i was about 9 years old i remember going on camp, and my dad dropped me and some friends there, and one of them recommended this song on spotify because we were playing music in the car. That was like 4 or 5 years ago now and i completely forgot this song existed and people still knew about it
