Okay, confess: Who has become obsessed with a song after hearing it on a commercial?
Ever since the latest Geico "Caveman" commercial has come out, I haven't gotten this song out of my head:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecd3h_BQ5P8

"Don't Want to Hurt You" by The Sounds.

I have never heard of The Sounds before in my life, but that is a catchy song.

5. i haven't
but my dad went all out on nick drake after hearing pink moon in that vw commercial several years ago. he couldn't figure out who it was, though, until i saw something about him on 'where are they now' on vh1.

i still think it's the best commercial ever made

7. I loved both that song and commercial.
It always reminded me of driving late at night in the moonlight. Very peaceful.

13. Recent Target Commercial

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5GMhheTWWc

Dolly Parton - More Where That Came From


I usually hate country music, but I love Dolly because she doesn't whine or commit pedal steel guitar abuse.

14. Sarah McLachlan's "Angel"
Has been used in a number of commercials, including the recent ASPCA ad. That song has got me through several hard times, like when my sister was in a 2-week coma, and when my FiL was dying last year (we had him on DNR for 2 weeks before he died on 12-19-07).

The other one that caught my attention was the Mitsubishi Eclipse commercial...

22. Song is part of the commercial, and it infected me:
"I have a structured settlement,
but I need cash now!"

I can't stand it!
I mute the TV wheb that ad shows.
There should be some sort of perverse award for this stuff - most stick in the brain obnoxious ad.
