The point was this thing is all over the place... Radio... TV... are people running out to buy Mini Wheats or earplugs?

I bought some mini wheats yesterday, but I can't say I hear that commercial a whole lot.

Ironically, the best way to avoid hearing the song is to escape to a tropical villa.

And I like the song. Just the other day I caught myself turning up the radio when it came on.

I like the song as well, and I do a little "mini wheats wheats wheats" dance when it comes on.

What is the original song that is based on? I'm drawing a blank.

I love that commercial. I sing along every time I hear it, even though I don't really know the words.

I did the same thing, except in front of my wife. I can hear the divorce lawyers already

Don't know why, but I love that jingle.

It's in its second rendition as it used to be on TV all the time a year or so ago. Then it disappeared, now it's back. Tastes so good, good, good.

Whenever I get a song stuck in my head I think to myself..

"SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE!"

I saw a clip of Laguna Beach where the girls scream out that part of the Kelly Clarkson song. Since I don't know anything else, it always gets whatever WAS in my head...out!

I'd recommend listening to "Play that Funky Music" by Wild Cherry. After you hear that song, thats all you'll sing.

"The Lion Sleeps tonight" seems to work well for me.
