Kohl’s, which doesn’t even have a store within 700 miles of me has been running a new commercial featuring the song Love Will Keep Us Together by Captain and Tenille.
I hate that song.
I detest that song.
Other than Anne Murray, Toni Tenille has the most grating voice of anyone, and I mean anyone that has ever had the opportunity to have a song played on any radio station.
And whatever station my son in law is watching is playing the God damned commercial every frickin’ 10 minutes. I am now sequestered in my office, door shut, listen to the radio with the volume louder than I care for just so my ears will not suffer.
And I thought I was over being pelted by an overworked pop standard. The last 5 months Steve Miller has become an enemy. Why did he sell Rockin’ Me to Wrangler so it can be played at every commercial break during every NASCAR race broadcasted. With the end of the NASCAR season I thought my commercial blues were over. Alas, it is not so.
Daisy brand sour cream has a godawful jingle (something about “a dollop, a dollop”) that I hate so much I’ll scramble to turn the TV off when it comes on.
I actually quit buying their sour cream because of the ad.
I don’t really know if I am answering the question, but Christmas Carols in my mind are commercial and they annoy the life out of me. Eapecially ones that refer to snow, sled rides, or anything wintery because in Oz, it’s hot, damn hot and I feel like a dick singing about open fires as the only open fire we have here is a bloody bushfire and that’s nothing to sing about!
When I read the thread I thought of Christmas Carols, but now I’m wondering if I’m completely irrelevant??
“They’ll jump through hoops
They’ll walk through fire
Just two good guys who like to sell tires
Alton boys (Alton boys)
Neighbors helping neighbors”
I hate hate hate it, and it’s so catchy, which just makes it worse. I guess that homey, shadetree mechanic vibe is supposed to be appealing, but it backfires on me. I want to buy tires from a trained professional, not a chummy redneck who goes fishin’ at the water hole and asks my sister to the barn-raising hoedown.
ROYAL! PUDDING!
Rich, rich, rich with flavor!
Smooth, smooth, smooth as silk!
More food energy that fresh, whole milk!
That one days back half a century and I haven’t been able to get it out of my mind. Or this one either from the same period:
Sing it over and over and over again, FROSTY MORN!
Sing it over and over and over again, FROSTY MORN!
The height of a piggy’s ambition
From the day he is born
Is hope that he’ll be good enough
To be a FROSTY MORN…
This is EXACTLY the song I immediately thought of when I read the thread title. I have no idea what the commercial is even for, since it gets shut off as soon as this abomination of a song begins.
