riley702 November 11, 2014 Share November 11, 2014 (edited) "Love Don't Die" by The Fray is stuck in my head because it runs during Animal Planet's seemingly interminable promos for Dr. Oakley: Yukon Vet. It's certainly a catchy little song. Here is the full version: Admittedly, the bar fight is a turn-off. Edited November 11, 2014 by riley702 1 Link to comment

potatoradio December 2, 2014 Share December 2, 2014 Sigh. Those Miller Lite "subliminal" commercials brought "Joy" by Apollo 100 back. Holy flashback, Batman! I remember spinning this 45 and dancing with my friends; we had a whole drama we acted out. We were flowers just dancing around, then a storm hit, then we popped back up and spun around...OK, you didn't need to know all that, but if I'd seen this commercial without being forewarned, I might have spontaneously re-enacted that drama in front of my bewildered family, that's how much I listened to this song as a kid. Total earworm indeed. Link to comment
friendperidot December 7, 2014 Share December 7, 2014 not exactly earworms, but the music puzzles me. One if for Sprint - the one with the screaming goat, the start of the commercial sounds like the same music used by Directv to explain how to block your preteen children from watching porn, the kids all getting glassy eyed and grinning in delight. The other is the Farmers ad with the professor explaining how you think you're covered for this, but you're really covered for something much smaller. Then how you think you are paying for minivan/SUV when really you're paying for hot sports card with flashy dressed dad dancing inappropriately in front of your child. The music he's dancing too makes me think of the Geico pig on vacation: bootsandpants, bootsandpants... Link to comment
AntiBeeSpray December 8, 2014 Share December 8, 2014 This one gives me faceworm as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zzRte9JbEE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I HATE that commercial. I've seen it so many times that I want to throw a pillow at my tv :D. 1 Link to comment
Maharincess December 21, 2014 Share December 21, 2014 I agree. I hate that Big Lots commercial. I hate the woman singing, hate the song, just all around hate the whole damn thing. It makes no sense either, she sings that she's "nailing this xmas again", how can you nail this xmas AGAIN when this xmas hasn't happened yet? So stupid. Link to comment
Lola16 December 23, 2014 Share December 23, 2014 And "nailing it" isn't really a nice Christmas expression. What have they got in store for us at Easter? The earworm I'm enjoying (so far) is Push It in the Geico ads. 2 Link to comment
peeayebee December 23, 2014 Share December 23, 2014 Yesterday my son was trying to close something, and I told him "Push it." Of course the song immediately popped into my head. I almost told him, "Push it real good," but I don't think he would have gotten it. 4 Link to comment
riley702 December 24, 2014 Share December 24, 2014 You can only hope he didn't. That would have been all kinds of inappropriate, considering that song is about sex. 1 Link to comment
AntiBeeSpray December 24, 2014 Share December 24, 2014 You can only hope he didn't. That would have been all kinds of inappropriate, considering that song is about sex. And that's why that song is a little awkward to hear as a commercial O_O. 1 Link to comment
riley702 December 24, 2014 Share December 24, 2014 I know, right? And the guy at the end, saying in a harried, frazzled voice, "I'm pushing it; I'm pushing it real good!" sounds disturbingly like someone trying to appease their harasser/attacker. Squicks me right out. And then I'm conflicted, because it is catchy, dammit. Link to comment
Trini December 24, 2014 Share December 24, 2014 Eh, Jeffster already did the Push It/Pregnancy joke, so I'm slightly less impressed with the ad. Link to comment

Jamoche January 4, 2015 Share January 4, 2015 One thing that can be said for the "Annie" trailers is they don't bash you over the head with mega-earworm "Tomorrow". Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the latest round of Special-K ads, and it's not like you have any orphan moppets cluing you in to grab the remote. 2 Link to comment
Rick Kitchen January 13, 2015 Share January 13, 2015 Does anybody know who sings "Keep on the Sunny Side of Life" in the Toyota ad? It sounds like the Carter Family, but I wonder if it's just somebody trying to sound like them. Link to comment
Katmai January 25, 2015 Share January 25, 2015 Thanks to all the commercials that have used, or are currently using, AC/DC's Back in Black I now can't stand to hear it and turn it off immediately. In fact, it's made me change the station every single time any AC/DC song comes on, that's how much it's been overused for me. I've never cared what Salt & Peppa's Push It is about, I still like hearing it. 2 Link to comment
janie jones January 26, 2015 Share January 26, 2015 Maybe 8 years ago, I was working at the Gap when they had this campaign with Audrey Hepburn dancing to "Back in Black." To accompany the ads, that song played on the Muzak, once every two hours or so. To this day, I still can't stand listening to that song, and I'd liked it before. Link to comment

It sounds like the Carter Family, but I wonder if it's just somebody trying to sound like them. I initially thought you were referring to "Always Look On The Bright Side of Life" and busted out laughing at the sheer inappropriateness. Thanks for inadvertently giving me a good laugh. 5 Link to comment
Bastet January 26, 2015 Share January 26, 2015 The ad where one guy's life is sad because the song that follows him everywhere is Rainy Days and Mondays, and the other guy's life is cool because the fact he has a better car means the soundtrack to his life is Back in Black does not have the intended effect on me because I like both songs. Further, I've already become sick of hearing Back in Black, yet Rainy Days and Mondays getting in my head hasn't yet reached irritation level. 1 Link to comment

friendperidot February 11, 2015 Share February 11, 2015 New Android commercial, just saw it and paid attention this time. Cute ad and the first time I heard the song about Robin Hood and Little John running through the forest, and saw all the animals frolicking together, but I thought the song had to be written by Roger Miller (King of the Road and so many others). Searched and it is by Roger Miller and was used in a Disney movie about Robin Hood. I like it, it will take a while to be annoyed by it. 3 Link to comment

A haven't seen the commercial, but I know exactly which song you're talking about. I used to have the soundtrack to that movie. That's also the movie that had "Whistle Stop", aka the Hampster Dance song. 1 Link to comment

janie jones March 1, 2015 Share March 1, 2015 (edited) The presidents are actually part of the reason I don't like the song. I learned the presidents to the tune of "Yankee Doodle," which is considerably more lively then the dirge in the commercial. Edited March 1, 2015 by janie jones Link to comment

Prairie Fire March 20, 2015 Share March 20, 2015 I can't be the only one who's loving the new Target ads with the remake of Deee-Lite's 1990 hit "Groove Is In the Heart" by Charli XCX and Questlove. Too bad they're not releasing a full version of the song. 1 Link to comment
Bastet March 20, 2015 Share March 20, 2015 It just makes me yearn for the original, especially Lady Miss Kier's vocals. 4 Link to comment
spaceytraci1208 March 22, 2015 Share March 22, 2015 I was already annoyed with the lackluster remake of "Groove Is In The Heart" that Target's using in their ads, now today I hear a constipated rendition of Otis Redding's "Try A Little Tenderness" in a McDonald's commercial. If you can't capture the spirit of the originals, leave them alone or pay up to use the real songs. Link to comment
Prevailing Wind March 22, 2015 Share March 22, 2015 "Try a Little Tenderness" was composed by Harry Woods / Jimmy Campbell / Reginald Connelly and has been recorded by a multitude of different singers...http://www.allmusic.com/search/songs/try+a+little+tenderness.%C2'> It's not just Otis Redding's song. Perhaps they're mimicking Willie Nelson/Don Cherry's version. Link to comment
MrsEVH March 28, 2015 Share March 28, 2015 Can't stand the Yoplait ad using The Kinks "All day and all of the night". The ad people must be too lazy to write jingles anymore; just rip off a classic rock song. 2 Link to comment
