The catchy Kars4Kids jingle — which has been referenced on Saturday Night Live several times through the years — was recently pulled from airwaves in California for false advertising.

For years, the jingle (“1-877-Kars4Kids/K-A-R-S Kars for Kids/1-877-Kars4Kids/Donate your car today”) has been heard on the radio and on TV. Last week, however, the earworm was ordered to be removed from broadcast after a California court ruled in favor of a man named Bruce Puterbaugh, The Guardian reported. He filed a lawsuit against Kars4Kids in 2021, after donating his non-working 2001 Volvo XC, valued at $250, to the charity.
