The danger of the radio

This is why I shouldn't have the radio on to anything but NPR in the morning. Because if I tune into a commercial station and hear a catchy commercial jingle, well, the rest of the day my head is stuck on something like this...Oooh that Celsius Tannery/Love the way they flatter me Oooh that Celsius Tannery/Love the way they flatter me Oooh that Celsius Tannery/Love the way they flatter me Oooh that Celsius Tannery/Love the way they flatter me Oooh that Celsius Tannery/Love

    poor joel. what a horrible predicament. my sister always suggests the same song to get things like that out of my head. its, "lets hear it for the boy". guaranteed to work.
    ive had the tender crisp bacon cheddar ranch song stuck in my head since the commercial came out. (what song is that from?) its driving me crazy!!!

  2. pissykitty (Melissa Lynch) says…

    i see everyone is too busy on friday nights to check the blogs. i am such a loser. : (

    i'm at work, too. double loser.

  3. Joel (Joel Mathis) says…

    I'm still at work, PK. Got busy watching the KU game, tho, instead of ... working.

  4. pissykitty (Melissa Lynch) says…

    good to know im not the only one. its either this or reading for me. no tv, no good web access.

  5. pissykitty (Melissa Lynch) says…

    thats it for me, im going home early. WOO HOO! (and im going to avoid listening to the radio)

  6. emcdaniel (Erin McDaniel) says…

    pk: I'm with you on the tender crisp song. It's from "Big Rock Candy Mountain," a bluegrass classic. That's the craziest commercial ever.

  7. toreador (Michael Austin) says…

    Great, now I have Let's hear it for the boy stuck in my head.How do I get that out? If I remember things correctly, the jingle I used to get stuck in my head was for Pyramid Pizza in Lawrence. It was the phone number jingle. I didn't mind that so much. Right now though, it makes me hungry for pizza!!

    I have had a rough week, so I came home and promply fell asleep watching Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends! Everyone has ran out on me tonight, so I am home on a Friday night ;) Thinking about running to Ltown and listening to some bands by myself. Now how loser is that!!

  8. ladylaw (Terry Bush) says…

    Hey Joel - sorry to interput your blog song and KU game is over...but since you ARE in the news BIZ, we just got a call telling us that Ft. Scott Kansas has about 3 blocks on fire - National Guard is brining in water by helicopters..... Friends living there called - to report it and say they were safe.... but sounds like a big blaze.....

  9. toreador (Michael Austin) says…

    I just remembered... it was Pizza Shuttle!

    Yikes,. that does sound like a big blaze, bad in this wind!

  10. godjilla (Jill Ensley) says…

    That was so annoying, I nearly vomited from vertigo as I scrolled.

    Good job!

  11. pissykitty (Melissa Lynch) says…

    has anyone spent any time near chicago or seen Wayne's World? we have empire to deal with as far as local commercials go. just like the pizza shuttle song, its for their phone number 588-2300. they added an 800 in front of it a couple years ago, but the original is in Wayne's World. just about the ONLY thing actually in Aurora at the time the movie was made. everything else either doesnt exist or is in a different suburb. but the jingle will make you want to "stick your finger in your eye and swirl it around"

  12. pissykitty (Melissa Lynch) says…

    there is nothing worse than local commercials, both on the radio and on tv. i still remember the pryce, young, odel and horsch commercials... dreadful. thank god advertisers do their jobs well, right?

  13. toreador (Michael Austin) says…

    Threre are few good commercials. Now they put the horrible things in front of my movies. I hate them!

    Mentos commercials always caused me horrible pain. Combine a Mentos commercial with a Saturn commercial and I am sure that is a sign of the Apocolypse...

  14. pissykitty (Melissa Lynch) says…

    my favorite commercial was for geico, the guy jogging and running into the deer. love it. i dont think they show it anymore. specially now they have that stupid gecko.

  15. toreador (Michael Austin) says…

    I would have to say the high fiving squirrels after they wrecked the car, though, I cannot remember who the commercial was for. Geico?

    The gecko is damn annoying!! Except for the "everyone is kung fu fighting" one... heh heh

    Sooo PK, we all having a big party at a bar somewhere when you come down? I'll buy the first round ;)

  16. vertigo (Jesse Crittenden) says…

    Jeez Jilla, I was unaware I had that affect on you... I'll be sure to stay away from now on.

  17. 1981 (Jason Barr) says…

    It was fantastic runnin into your the other day. You keep it "realer" than real.

    ps. I know that "realer" isn't a word.

  18. squishypoet (anonymous) says…

    I currently have the song "Total Eclipse of the Heart" stuck in my head. That's what I get for listening to the radio as I get ready in the morning...

    "Once upon a time I was falling in love... now I'm only falling apart..."

  19. pissykitty (Melissa Lynch) says…

    i suppose we should. i usually dont plan much ahead of time. ill make some calls...

  20. godjilla (Jill Ensley) says…

    vertigo, ba-dum chhh!
    ;p

  21. toreador (Michael Austin) says…

    Well we don't have to PK, not like I really know anyone on these blogs enought to buy them beverages, but I am easy that way I guess :)

  22. pissykitty (Melissa Lynch) says…

    the squirrels was geico. i hate that gecko now, but ill always love his version of kung fu fighting, too.

  23. pissykitty (Melissa Lynch) says…

    im not saying no, i just have no plans made of yet and am unaware if there ARE plans for me when i get there. so, perhaps is the best i can do at the moment. it is still more than a week away
