"wharmp-wharmp-wharmp-wharmp-wharmp"
"lets go to double daves, double daves. we got the pizza if your UP IN THE MORNING???? or you're staying up late"

1st off, that weird noise at the begining of the song drives me crazy...
2nd, whats with the questionable eating habbit line? who orders pizza when there up in the morning?

anyway, i don't enjoy that song at all.

Oh, and the CATCHIEST one (not good; catchiest.) is by far the Brazos Valley Bank (redefining convenience). It's quite singable.

i also cannot stand the old screened images commercial with the guy that whispers "you think, it we print it". the thing that makes it sooooo bad is his hick accent.
hick accent + whisper = gross creepy

My wife will sing this while walking around the house, with multiple variations and emphasis on the "Bryyyy-annnn" part.

I guess that means it's working.

I sing the "Suddenlink...disconnected!" variation.

Also, I find the DoubleDave's jingle annoyingly catchy. There's one line that I believe says "we've got the pizza with the toppings that can't be beat" or something like that. It always sounds to me though like he's saying they have the pizza with the tacos that can't be beat, which sounds gross.

It wasn't a jingle, but what happened to that "come see pa pa" guy that sold cars in Tomball?

Also, "We meet by accident... at George's Paint and Body".

I miss the old Hot Dogs Etc. rap song takeoffs.

"You like 99 cents"
"Give me some mo!"
"Do you like chilicheese fries"
"Give me some mo!"

And then my favorite,

"You a weinie chaser you got your block on fire..."

"..... downtown Bry-yannnnnnn."

I hate the dischordant music in the Texas Furniture Outlet commercial. For those of you who do not recognize the sound, it is a brand of off-chord harmony attempted and somewhat popular in the 1940s, but thankfully rejected as awful in short order by the majority of the public who preferred the sound of close harmony. (Don't worry, no way it will make a comeback.)

Someone argued with me on this subject some time ago, saying the commercial vocals are a form of barber shop harmony. That is dead false ... dischordant is the direct opposite of classic barber shop.

The dischordant sound is dead nowadays ... except for some hard rock offerings by fakers who couldn't carry a tune any other way, even in a sack.

(Fingernails scraping on a blackboard? ... Tomcats caterwauling on a back fence at midnight? ... A dozen violins being tuned at the same time? All in the same cateqory of sounds.) No way would I enter that store!

the car commercials where they "interview" the owner, but in particular, the one that says something like, "i wouldn't sell you a car that i wouldn't sell to my neighbor and they live right across the street." {huh?}

Thank You! I was sure I was going crazy. I couldn't find this anywhere. No Youtube spot or anything. I have sung this stupid jingle since the 70's. HOT DOG!
