The illogic of “blue emu ointment”-
“It’s been used for thousands of years so it goes on fast and penetrates deep…”
HUH?
Blonde, I’ve heard a few of those Three Forks ads and was under the impression that Colleen was the owner’s wife. Seems he usually has something corny to say about her.
Blonde, here is the info from www.3forks.com/aboutus/yourhosts.cfm
“In August of 1998, Dale founded III Forks. …is the first to give credit to other people for his resounding success, namely his wife Colleen…”

Salem - sorry, man –
Actually, it’s ma’am. (I know it’s not obvious from the name, sorry for the ambiguity.) And thanks for putting those lyrics into my head…Going to find the brain bleach now.
How about the godawful National American University jingle for us in the Twin Cities?
One day
One night
Saturday’s all right
Online’s just fine
Nighttime, anytime
Get your degree
Sey yourself free
National American University!
ARGH! And the worst thing is, everyone knows it. Everyone.
Pacific Northwest Dopers too Dooku. 
Sorry, JuanitaTech; I have to agree with Phlosphr: Killing Me Softly makes my skin crawl too. I just have these images of suffocation. Sometimes having a visual imagination is a curse.
I think I’m glad I don’t know any of these radio jingles.
Salem, I like Seasons in the Sun. Of course, I also like Macarthur Park. 
Yes, Achy Breaky Heart is on my Loathe List as well, but I felt better about it after it was parodied by Weird Al. Coward of the County makes me want to throw the radio through the wall. Others on my Loathe List:
[ul][]Nikita by Elton John. They played this song ALL THE TIME on the radio at my first summer job. I started to call it the Power Tool Song, after Makita, the brand of power tool. How could someone who made such great stuff in the early seventies implode so drastically? Listening to it was worse than reading a William Shatner novel![]The Lady In Red. Don’t remember who did that one, other than that it was someone from the late seventies who should have known better.[*][/ul]More recent material? I don’t generally listen to the radio that much any more, getting most of my stuff from friends’ recommendations and highly genre-specific downloads, when I don’t wander into a store, hear it playing, and ask what it is.
Chris DeBurgh.
‘She’s having my baby’ makes me want to barf whenever I hear it. Can’t remember who wrote it. It was awful. If I was a woman I’d have been royally insulted by this festering pile of cow dung. As it was I was embarrased whenever it was on the radio and a woman was around. “No, Ma’am. I sincerely apologize for every member of my sex. We are in the process of hunting down this vile miscreant as we speak and he will be dealt with appropriately! I am truly and deeply sorry.”
On the other side of the coin, Helen Reddy’s ‘I am Woman’. Yeah, whatever, B****.
Torn by Natalie Imbruglia.
I thought radio stations would have realized by now that we STILL don’t need to hear this song twice a day, every day, since it’s been out for YEARS. I just want to scream ‘SHUT UP’ every time I hear it.
Meow Meow Meow Meow…
“Tenderness” by Modern English is the worst song ever, in the history of music. No melody, no hook, no structure… it just sorta dribbles on like a feeble stream.
About 30 seconds of a guy screaming AUUGGGHHHH!!! Then the commercial follows about cajun taste not being necessarily spicy, just that taste, it’s for Chili’s I think. Nothing like driving to work and hearing that every morning.
BEEP BEEP it’s GURLEY LEEP!!! Over and over again.
This reminds me of being a child and hearing :
*well its too late baby
yeah its too late
though we really did try and make it
something inside has died
and I can’t hide
and I just can’t take it*
which I believe is Carly Simon. . .?
That tune always frightened me, because in my mind something inside the house had died. Plus I couldn’t hide - or take it.
((Shudder))
I still loathe that song.
“Adia, I do believe I failed you…”
I swear they played that every third song on the radio for THREE YEARS on an otherwise decent enough station.
Let’s see if anyone on the board recognizes this one:
“Goin’ to the fair, goin’ to the fair, goin’ to the Northwest Michigan Fair…”
Every year that I can recall, it’s been that same stupid jingle. It just gets more and more loathsome.
