Little Ditties that stay with you forever.

Archeron

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.

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.

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.

"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.

"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."
