    That's what I was going to post. It's a brilliant jingle, because it's monotonous, unhip, anachronistic, and completely stands out among all the noise of other tv commercials.

    I'd be very curious to see if Subway's promotion is working. If so, this probably has something to do with it.

    Well, "Mr. Tamborine Man" always sticks in my head when I hear it, and after watching American Idol I keep singing it, since I can surely do better (not saying much)....

    Re: That song in your head...

    I went a couple of years with one song that would pop up into my head throughout the day: Time in a Bottle by Jim Croce. Why? I have NO idea.

    I don't necessarily hate the song (and I've never really liked it, either) but it was the most irritating thing to have constantly popping up.

    But one I've never had stuck in my head is, "...instead of lookin' fly and rollin' phat, my legs are stickin' to the vinyl and my posse's gettin' laughed at." (You're welcome.)

    I bought fuel in Winslow, Arizona yesterday. Guess which one popped in? It didn't stay there long though.

    The theme song from the TV show T he Odd Couple runs through my brain alot. I mean often, too. No idea why. Neither the show or the tune carries any significance to my life. But it lurks there in my mind.
    I've been to dinner at Jimmy Buffet's house, and I've eaten it at a homeless shelter. And there's great joy and harrowing terror to be found in both places.

    Many times it turns out that the song or lyrics are a pun towards something I'm either doing or thinking aobut - it's like a constant soundtrack to my life going on (inside).

    I call these songs "viruses".

    The Flintstone theme song (flintstones, meet the flintstones.. there a ...) seems to be a decent anecdote to most viruses.

    That happens to me a lot. Something will remind me of a song, like Take It Easy popping in there just because I was fueling up in Winslow. I'm not what I would call a big Eagles fan, but those things just happen, especially with older songs that I'm more familiar with than the newer pop.

    I heard a big band arrangement of the Flintstones theme recently and it was really quite good. That's not a bad piece of music if done right.

    It's odd, but it DOES seem to stop the Debbie Gibson, "You Light Up My Life" pain.

    "Boone," actually.

    "You...light up my life. You give me hope...to carry on..." C'mon! Everybody sing along.

    Or would you prefer, "Feelings...nothing more than feelings..."

    durl, your signature would fit fine as part of your post.

    Thankfully that's not one that gets stuck in my head much.

    I tend to get the theme song from "The New Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh" in my head in the morning.

    This happens to me at least once a week and has done for a solid decade. The song begins with lyric "gotta get up..." so anytime my inner monologue hits on that phrase or something similar it triggers the song.

    I blame my parents for letting me watch TV.
