Those commercials go like: “I have a structured settlement and I need cash now. Call J.G. Wentworth. 877 cash now.” Boiled down, that’s:
- Something I own but can’t access
- Something I need that’s related
- Solution
- Phone number
I wondered if that could be a goldmine of riffs. Especially if you keep the same cadence as the song in the commercial and sing it.
For example: “I have a giant mansion but I have no keys. Call up the lock smith. 877-locked house.”
What do you think, sirs? Goldmine. Or, just shaft?
