 The song also contains elements of funk, and has been described by Sölvi Blöndal, the producer of the "Jinx" album and a member of Quarashi, as sounding like something "made by a '60s brass band".Blöndal has said that "Mr. Jinx" is his favorite Quarashi song.While "Mr. Jinx" was not a big hit for Quarashi (peaking at #43 on Radio & Records' Alternative chart), the song has been used as background music for several TV shows, most notably as the song heard during commercials for the "NBA on TNT" from 2003-2005.
