Don’t you just hate it when you hear a song in a commercial and it gets stuck in your head? Here’s some songs used in commercials that really annoy me.
“Don’t Cha” by the Pussycat Dolls – Heineken Light
I have always thought highly of Heineken. Until they made the "Don't Cha" commercial. This video isn't the actual commercial. It's much better. I wish it had sound
“What’s Your Flava” by Craig David – Kentucky Fried Chicken
Everything about this commercial is annoying: the dancing guy, the song, and the fact that KFC comes out with a new chicken product every other day. Such as their Famous Bowls. My stomach can combine these ingredients for me just fine. I don’t need a bowl that combines everything in it but the kitchen sink. I can't wait to see what greasy craziness is next. Who wants to eat this?
“Possibilities” by Taylor Hicks – Ford
Taylor, just because America voted you to be the American Idol last year doesn’t mean they also want to see you spasm around on a set that looks like the American Idol stage.
“Wannabe” by Spice Girls – Citigroup
This is the one where a woman is jogging while her husband drives next to her with this song blaring. Of all the songs in the world to bring back to life, why this one? I couldn't find this commercial, so here's a concert performance of "Wannabe". Posh doesn't even have a solo part. She just shimmies around a little.
“Whip It” by Devo – Swiffer
“When you got a dirty floor, you need Swiffer”. Wooooow, good one guys.
“I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That)” by Meatloaf – Dr. Pepper
I find it hard to believe that any guy would be more willing to go buy tampons for his girlfriend than share his can of Dr. Pepper with her. Puh-lease. This song is glorious.
“This Ain’t a Scene, It’s an Arms Race” by Fall Out Boy – Verizon V Cast
As if this song wasn’t overplayed enough, Verizon decided to add in some dude rocking out on his phone while at the gym. Here's some kid doing a parody in his basement.
“Wraith Pinned to the Mist (And Other Games)” by Of Montreal – Outback Steakhouse
Way to take a unique, good song and change the words into an incredibly lame food jingle.
“All Around the World” by Oasis – AT&T and Cingular
Why bother if all you are going to do is play four words of the song and sneak it in at the end of the commercial.
“Unbelievable” by EMF – Kraft Cheese Crumbles
“Crumbelievable”. This commercial is just flat out annoying. Enough said.
What I think one is MISSING DRASTICALLY
The Quiznos "We Love the Subs" Spongemonkey song...

that's funny. I actually produced the march of the Heinekens :)
It took almost a week of working at 2 am (when there was no street traffic affecting the light). I'm not doing it again anytime soon :)
