Plot
[edit]At the Big City Farmer's Market, Tilly is singing catchy jingles that attract customers and persuade them to purchase some of their produce. After hearing her jingles, Bonnie Sparks, an agent at Big Jingle, hires her to work there to make more jingles. She accepts and Cricket volunteers himself as Tilly's talent agent. Bonnie takes them to Tilly's office, where she is first tasked with making a jingle for Odd Apparel, a clothing company that sells weird clothing.
She makes all sorts of jingles for the different products, attracting others in the building, and later Rick Razzle, who asks to speak with her in his office. Meanwhile, Bill and Alice are struggling to sell produce now that Tilly is gone. They try to make their own jingles, which seem to scare customers away. Back at Big Jingle, Rick Razzle allows Tilly to be his successor, and things progress when Bonnie tells her that her next client is Mamaroni's Pizza. Tilly feels more pressured by this.
While trying to make up jingles for Mama Roni's Pizza, Tilly is unable to make a jingle that satisfies herself and she starts to be harder on herself. She steps outside to talk to herself, and hears Bill and Alice making jingles at the farm stand, seeming careless about whether they were selling produce or not. She then realized that she should be having fun making jingles, and chooses to resign from her job during the Mamaroni's Pizza conference, though gives them a jingle to use beforehand.
She returns to making jingles at the farm stand like normal. As she reprises her jingle about carrots, Rick Razzle slides in and sings a long note, thus proving his love for singing long notes.
