Damned Earworm Commercials

Those damned new freecreditscore.com commercials are driving me insane. I found the “It’s Me Or The Dog” ads amusing (Bad 509!), but now they have these bands singing alt-rock jingles.

Then I checked their site and found out it was both: they are the same site, owned & operated by Experian, just re-branded a little bit.
