cinsays April 11, 2015 Share April 11, 2015 There is a fairly recent ad for PNC bank that has a dreamy wedding complete with ballet dancers, unicorns, etc. Does anyone know what the music is? It sounds somewhat familiar and it may be a version of a song that is sung by the chorus in the Transylvania Orchestra's Christmas performance. Link to comment

Jamoche April 13, 2015 Share April 13, 2015 I love mondegreens! My username is a mondegreen, from Blur's "Song #2" - the real lyrics are "I got my head shaved by a jumbo jet", but that didn't sound like "jumbo jet" 2 Link to comment
Prevailing Wind April 13, 2015 Share April 13, 2015 The above-mentioned friend is also the one who, upon hearing the Blues Brothers, asked "Does he ever say what he's so mad about?" I had to tell her, " 'Soul Man,' not 'So Mad.' " 4 Link to comment
meep.meep April 16, 2015 Share April 16, 2015 I was just touring our library looking at old journals to cull, and came across what I thought was Souls and Fertilizers. So much better than Soils. But my latest earworm is Back in Baby's Arms Again. I don't know what commercial is using it, but I bet my neighbors are sending them angry letters cause I go full on Patsy Cline for hours after I hear it. 3 Link to comment
pandora spocks May 7, 2015 Share May 7, 2015 Thank you, Publishers' Clearinghouse, for ruining a perfectly good Hall and Oates song for me. Link to comment
Muffyn May 17, 2015 Share May 17, 2015 Please tell me that "woman" song in the antiperspirant commercial only exists for that commercial. To paraphrase - because you're a woman, and you're a woman and you need to be a woman because you're a woman or whatever the fuck overuse of the word woman is in that snippet of suck. 2 Link to comment
bubbls May 19, 2015 Share May 19, 2015 I hate that commercial with the loser mom pumping gas while her sons destroy the convenience store. However, what most annoys me is I then proceed to sing "Mama Don't Let Yer Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys" for the next 24 hours. I've got nothing against the song, but I'd rather not have it stuck in my head. I saw the commercial last night right before I went to bed so guess what was humming around my head ALL NIGHT LONG? 2 Link to comment

DeLurker May 19, 2015 Share May 19, 2015 You need a neutralizing earworm. I have one from a commercial when I was a kid. If I get an earworm, I start singing that in my head and it complete overwrites the original earworm. I don't mind the neutralizer, but it tends to float around my head for a few days and I've been caught walking around humming it. This is it - look at your own risk! The Frito Bandito Link to comment
bubbls May 22, 2015 Share May 22, 2015 Oh no, I don't know which is worse.....the Frito song or the Almond Joy song. I think either is better than the cowboy song that shall not be named. 2 Link to comment
ParadoxLost May 26, 2015 Share May 26, 2015 "Carry On Wayward Son" is officially on my list of music co-opted by a TV show and can't be used in anything else ever again. I heard it, looked up to see why Supernatural was on TV and it turned out to be a Miller commercial. Link to comment
janie jones June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 Are there people left who aren't sick of the song "Happy"? Why did Onexton decide to put it in their commercial? 4 Link to comment
CarpeDiem54 June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 Are there people left who aren't sick of the song "Happy"? Why did Onexton decide to put it in their commercial? Because you'll be Happy when you develop persistent diarrhea, abdominal or stomach pain/cramping, blood/mucus in your stool, rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, and trouble breathing. Come to think of it, that song gives me those ailments. I don't even need to take the drug. 3 Link to comment

The "ladies" of Fifth Harmony make it pretty clear what they mean by "give it to me" and the company shouldn't be going there with its ad. 3 Link to comment

ikmccall July 12, 2015 Share July 12, 2015 So there's Waylon Jennings' Mama Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys, and a Johnny Cash song for iPhone 6 (?) and a Willie Nelson song (dog food maybe? The song is about friendship). That's 3/4 of The Highwaymen. 3 Link to comment
Demented Daisy July 13, 2015 Share July 13, 2015 (edited) I haven't seen this commercial in months, but it would be stuck in my head for hours after I saw it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQQFUXpeZPY ETA I haven't lived in Dallas in 20 years, but I can still sing this jingle word for word.

ennui August 3, 2015 Share August 3, 2015 (edited) I had the tv on in the background, and while listening from another room it seemed to me that the music for Bayer aspirin and "Jackie's heart attack didn't come with a warning" is eerily similar to the music for the Subaru "They lived" commercial. I noticed because they played back to back, and when I heard the music I thought it was the Subaru ad first, but it was Bayer first. I imagine their ad agencies chose some stock music (like clip art for advertising). I don't think I'll ever get tired of the Nationwide Insurance Big Baby commercial, with Mickey & Sylvia singing "Love is Strange" in the background. Loving a car is strange, and yet ooohh baby ...

potatoradio August 3, 2015 Share August 3, 2015 So, OK, my hearing probably isn't the greatest, but still...when that stupid Kraft mac and cheese commercial is on (I think that's it?) showing the crumbles of cheddar and the wailing singer belts out "YOU MADE A MASTERPIECE..." Well, sorry, I only hear "You'd better masturbate!" Gets my attention and cracks me up, but I don't think that's the intent. The opening music is really ear-wormy, though. 1 Link to comment
friendperidot August 4, 2015 Share August 4, 2015 when they use an old song, 50s, 60s old, why do they have to speed it up so much? I love Rock Around The Clock by Bill Haley & the Comets, but the version they use is frenetic and they make a stupid change in the lyrics. Target has a Jackson 5 song, ABC, it is sped up so fast it sounds like the Chipmunks! 1 Link to comment
ennui August 4, 2015 Share August 4, 2015 I kind of giggle at the Eggtastic Egg Cooker commercial, when they get to the Denver omelette and a snippet of "The Good the Bad and The Ugly" plays. Link to comment
