What commercial jingle just makes you wnat to pull your hair out, and is only made worse when it is played every commercial break? We have a radio station here that just loves to play a Thornton’s commercial-thingy:

What’s yours? (note, annoying commercial jingle not an actual commercial, I think we have one of those already, if not, oh well)
First one is a jingle for three malls, presumably owned by the same company. They tried to stuff the name of all three malls into one jingle: “Hickory Hollow Mall, Cool Springs Galleria, and Rivergate Mall!” I can’t even begin to describe how forced it sounds all squeezed into one long, awkward musical phrase.
Worse is the one-line jingle for some insurance dealer, the name of which I’ve forgotten. For reasons I can’t comprehend, the entire jingle is “We’re coming at you! [name of insurance company]”
Note that this is not some quasi-hip drive-time radio DJ kind of “comin’ atchya.” While that in itself doesn’t make sense in an insurance company ad, at least it’s a reasonably familiar, if annoying, phrase. But here the singers (who sound suspiciously like the singers in the mall jingle) enunciate each word perfectly, and so you’re left wondering exactly why an insurance company is coming at you, and if maybe you should duck.
