That's why many people who write symphonies end up going broke and/or insane, whereas people who can write one good commercial jingle are financially set for life. My grandmother knows a guy from Northwestern who wrote the original "Kraft Macaroni & Cheese" jingle in the 50s - he made enough money that he really didn't have to work the rest of his life.
I don't know that this has any significance to anything... I just always thought that was an interesting little tidbit.

Oh, ain't that the truth. Here, write something good using only five notes.
