Little Ditties that stay with you forever.

About ten minutes ago, for absolutely no reason, the song off of the old Crunchy Nut cornflakes came into my head and just wouldn't go away.

They're tasty, tasty, very very tasty....They're very tasty.

Strange how this just popped back in there after so many years of having not even thought about it. I don't even like crunchy nut cornflakes. Another one that just wont go away is a song called "forever young" by Alphaville that my oldest brother used to play years ago. I hated the song, but even now after about 15 years, every now and then it just crops up again and stays in my humming mechanisms for about two days.

You ever have these type of odd little tunes that just appear now and then for no reason?

Shake and Vac tune and Cadburys Fruit and Nut bar ('eeeeveryones a fruit and nut case!') is one I just sang in the middle of dinner yesterday.

They've started re-running that ad. You probably heard it while not paying any attention to the tv.

Misleading title btw :pac:

Bran flakes, not crunchy nut corn flakes.

Mr. CooL ICE · 27-04-2008 6:52pm

Hmm... Only ones I can think of are:

Theme to Sharkey & George.

Brian Adams - Everything I Do (was released around the time my long-term memory kicked in)

Not sure if it counts, but the dialogue from Kit Kat ad (the one where the barber shaves the logo onto yer mans head). Saw it a few months ago and was able to mouth it all, word for word.

One annoying jingle I couldnt get out of my head - "Any old iron, any old iron, any any any old iron..." Grr.

I had my mp3 player on random and this song came on, hadnt heard it in years!

Mine is the old club ads "If ya like a lotta chocolate on yer biscuit, join our club!"

Pops into my head from time to time for some reason

StormWarrior · 27-04-2008 7:54pm

I always have the "Denver the Last Dinosaur" theme tune in my head, even though it's 15-20 years since I saw it last.

"50/50 cashback, 50/50 cashback, it's half price gas, it's half price gas!" Popped into my head last week for no reason whatsoever!

"If you're gonna have a cuppa have a Club"

"The red car and the blue car had a race, all red wants to do is stuff his face"

The Christmas Penneys ad mentioned already, though I remember when it was on TV! :eek:

"Them bones them bones need, calcium!"

Plenty more where they came from.

There is an ad over here in the UK for some power company. I don't know the name of the song but it has an electronic ditty with the words well talk about it talk about talk about it talk about it!

Every morning the ad plays and leaves me humming it for hours...... gah!

chopperbyrne · 28-04-2008 8:29am

I always just start randomly humming or whistling things like this.

Started humming the Zelda theme for no reason the other day!

Xavi6 · 28-04-2008 8:37am

"All that chocolate and all that chew,
Just right for you, the Riesen chocolate chew,
There's always a reason to count on you,
And always a Riesen for a chocolate chew!

Riesen........the chocolate chew."

And no I didn't need to look it up

A fragment of a song I don't even like -

'Baby if you give it to me
I'll give it to you
I know what you want
You know I got it
Baby you can give it to me
As long as you want
you know you got it....'

It was a duet about 6 years ago Mariah Carey and Busta Rhymes I think, heard it on the radio yesterday and can't get rid of it.

Little Ditties that stay with you forever.
