BC Clark is most well known for its "Anniversary Sale" jingle, which was originally created in 1956.[2] The jingle is played in advertisements for the retailer's five-week advertising campaign during the holiday shopping season, always starting during the evening on Thanksgiving Day. According to the company, the jingle "may be the longest continuously running jingle in the entire United States."[3] The jingle is seen as somewhat of a local holiday tradition by many from the Oklahoma City area who are used to hearing the mid-1950s recording during the holidays.[4]
