The jingle comes from Empire Carpet, later Empire Today, a Chicago flooring company whose television commercials ran nationally in the United States from the late 1970s onward. Written in 1977, the simple melody was designed just to make the phone number 800-588-2300 unforgettable, and it succeeded for decades of repeat airings. Generations grew up able to sing the number without thinking, turning a local ad tune into a shared cultural reference that still appears in parodies, nostalgia posts, and meme edits.
About this sound
The Empire flooring jingle singing 800-588-2300 from the long-running TV commercials, used for nostalgic ads, home renovation jokes and retro memes.
This is the short sung jingle from Empire flooring commercials, built entirely around the company phone number 800-588-2300. A group of bright, cheerful voices sing the digits in a catchy, repetitive melody that instantly sticks in your head, ending with the word Empire. It lasts only a few seconds but feels unmistakably like classic American television advertising, upbeat and overly familiar. Hearing it triggers instant recognition and nostalgia, even for viewers who have never bought flooring, and that earworm quality is exactly why it works so well dropped into videos for a sudden retro punchline.
