Earworms: Music in Commercials

But not whatever was crushed or dragged to death.

Door Dash has a new one featuring the tune "Mae" from the film "The Yellow Rolls-Royce." I love that melody.

🎶Every day is a holiday. Grab a drink, wake up late.🎶 This song from the Princess Cruise Line ad is driving me nuts!

I just heard Hall & Oates 'You Make My Dreams Come True' used on 3 different ads: T.J. Maxx, Doritos and Applebees. 

Good grief, ad agencies. It's been 42 years-find a new song.

[Bastet]

Yeah, I noticed that song popping up a lot lately.  I don't mind, though, because after all these years it still instantly cheers me up.  Thanks to the One Day at a Time reboot, it also makes me think of the amusing montage of Dr. B. and Schneider hanging out in the Alvarez apartment, so it makes me smile all around.

From the original ODAAT, I always thought that Schneider was Fonzie grown up.

I love that Target is using this song in their commercials. I've liked it since it first came out in the early 90's.

Same! I remember that song being on the radio all the time when I was a kid :D. It is weird to hear it in a commercial, but I still bop along anyway, LOL.

like the rap or hip-hop songs would go so well with these commercials?

I woke up with the Burger King "Do it your way" jingle in my head. Guess that's the downside of having the tv on all day. ☺️

Not the music in the commercial but every time I see that stupid perfume commercial where the woman ends up in a field of flowers that she supposedly put there and the last line is "what would you do for love?" my brain starts singing the Meatloaf song at "I would do anything for love, but I won't do that".

Probably just me but then it just sort of stays in my head for an hour or two.

Walked by pineapples at the grocery store today and the Colace jingle popped into my head. 🤣  I watch waaay too much tv.
