Anybody remember Da Da Da?

Debbie just hit the wall/
she never had it all/
one ProZac a day/
husbands a CPA/
her dreams went out the door/
whe she turn 24/
only been with 1 man/
what happen to her plan/

She was going to be actress/
she was going to be a star/
she was going to shake her ass/
on the hood of White Snake's car/
Her yellow S.U.V./
is now the enemy/
looks at her avrage life/
and nothing/
has been/
alright

#Since Bruce Springstein/
Madonna, way before/
Nirvana/
there was/
U2, and Blonde/
and music still on M T.V.
her 2 kins/
in High School/
teller that she uncool/
but shes still preoccupied/
1985/
(1985--1985)

She know all the classics/
she knows every line/
Breakfast Club, Pretty in pink/
Even St. Elmo's Fire/
She rocked out to wham/
not a big Limp Bizkit fan/
thought she'd get a hand/
on a member of Duran Duran/
Where the miniskirt/
made of snakeskin?/
And who the other guy singing in VanHalen?/
When did reality/
become TV/
whatever happen to/
SitComs, Game Shows/
On the Radio?/

with Bruce Springstein/
Madonna, way before/
Nirvana/
there was/
U2, and Blondy/
and music still on M T V.
her 2 kids/
in High School/
tell her that she uncool/
but she's still preoccupied/
1985/

She hate time/
make it stop/
when did Motley Crew become Classic Rock?/
And when did Ozzy/
become an acteur?/
Please make it,
stop, stop/
STOP!/

And bring back Springstein/
Madonna, way before/
Nirvana/
there was U2, and Blondie/
and music still on M-T-V.
her 2 kids/
in Hi School/
tell her that she is uncool/
but she still preoccupied/
1985/

Says it again.

Yes I know it all from memory. It gets stuck in my head any time someone make reference to 1985 or the people/music group in it.

Another annoying song: the Big Red gum jingl,

So kiss a little longer/
hug a little longer/
stay close a little longer/
longer with Big Red/
That Big Red Freshness last right through it/
you Fresh Breath goes on and on/
while you chew it/
Say goodby a little longer/
make it last a little longer/
Give you breath longlasting freshness/
With Big Red.

Every time I see the gum I get this stuk in my head.

Been playing in my mind all day. Safety Dance worked for a few minutes though.

Sounds like a very bad case. I would suggest tracking down an mp3 of the B side alternate remix of Safety Dance. Should fix you up.

Plop ...plop ....fizz ...fizz

[ViRaL1]

Ex-Lax should have bought that one before Alka-Seltzer.

Having lived in a few states, I have heard jingles that are local and drive me batty

(MI and IN) Menards commercials - "Save big money at Menarrrrrd's". Whats even worse, is that they play it while you are in the store as well

(St Louis, MO) "For a hole in your roof or a whole new roof, call Frederick roofing".

(TX) that Six Flags commerical on TV where it shows the old looking guy dancing and doing something like the cabbage patch or something. Whenever that comes on the TV, I stop what I am doing and watch it. It drives me crazy.

[TenaciousJP]

Wow, this is a perfect thread just at the right time. Today, there's been an ad that has been driving me nuts!

It's an ad for Time Warner Digital Cable, and it has Vanessa Carlton singing "Time is On My Side." I haven't listened to her music before, but I hope she doesn't sing as horribly as she did in this commercial. I mean, she sings the song with no feeling, no range, nothing! She's almost singing it in monotone, for Pete's sake. Ugh.

That crappy commercial is stuck in my head.

EDIT: Guess I'm not the only one who feels this way. Check out the review by "Cappy" on this page:

Tunes To Drive You Crazy (AP, LONDON)

The RAC is the Royal Automobile Club, a motorist
advocacy group in GBR.

(AP) When Richard Wagner composed his powerful "Ride of the Valkyries" in the 1850s, he surely wasn't thinking of any danger he was posing to 21st-century motorists.

Britain's RAC Foundation for Motoring named the strident classical piece the No. 1 tune not to play while driving, based on research it says shows loud music can cause accidents.

The "Dies Irae" from Giuseppe Verdi's "Requiem" was also considered a no-no. The top-five list of tunes to avoid while behind the wheel was rounded out by three modern songs - "Firestarter" by the Prodigy, "Red Alert" by Basement Jaxx and "Insomnia" by Faithless.

Songs that won't go away by David Grimes

"Earworm" is the word a university professor has coined to describe those irritating songs or jingles that get stuck in your head and drive you so crazy that you'd rather leap off a high building than listen to your brain replay "A Lion Sleeps Tonight" one more time. James Kellaris, a University of Cincinnati marketing professor, has done an intensive study of this subject, leading one to wonder why he is not now locked in a padded cell gulping fistfuls of Prozac.


According to Kellaris, earworms differ from individual to individual, though "Who Let the Dogs Out" and the baby-back ribs jingle from Chili's restaurant are two of the more universal offenders.


The professor also found that people who suffer from neuroses are more likely to be plagued by earworms, though I tend to think it's more likely the other way around. Some of Professor Kellaris' other findings: Women report more irritation and frustration as a result of earworms.


People who are constantly exposed to music are more susceptible to "stuck songs" than others.


The Meow Mix jingle can cause cancer in laboratory rats.


I am making that last finding up (possibly) but it is clear that stuck songs pose a serious health problem, up to and including the possibility of damaging your hand because you punched your car radio while it was playing the Piña Colada song. I personally stopped listening to music about 30 years ago because I was afraid that the constant replaying in my head of "Yummy Yummy Yummy I've Got Love in My Tummy" was going to result in a tragic incident involving a sniper rifle and a tall building. So my neuroses are now fueled mainly by internal replayings of annoying commercial jingles, of which there are seemingly an unlimited supply.

Same ads here too, for Six Flags Magic Mountain. They made a bunch of those ads with that bald-headed old guy. Maybe he croaked finally, I haven't seen any of those ads for a couple of months now. :P

Another one that bugs the hell out of me (anyone else know this one?)

"Sit 'n Sleep will beat anyone's price or your mattress is Freeeeeeeeeeee!"

God, I'd like to shove a mattress up that guy's...

No, the parks are closed for the Winter season. Itll come back soon.

It isn't acutally an old guy. My mom saw TV show and it is actually someone dressed to look like the old man.

[Doramius]

More annoying than that is the Venga Boys song they keep playing. It's like having dry skin and sand around your crotch while trying to run a 5k.

Too bad, I had hoped it was gone to oblivion, but there's always the mute button (which I use on that commercial a lot)
