Well, music has always had hits or misses-some of the major hit songs of the past never get replayed-for example, this one. (And the only time I heard this song was because someone featured it on a 'one hit wonders-what ever happened to?' video.

Yes, that was a hit song...

So the popular songs of now often turn into the crap of tomorrow.

The one and only reason that I know that song and video is that it featured on Beavis And Butthead.

I remember when it came out, it was very popular alright -popular to utterly ridicule it at that time. Any lad who came into school with say a touch of gel in their hair would be slagged to death "ah would you look at Rico Suave over there, cop on you cnut".

I remember my sister watching the video and mock dry retching at how sleazy he was, like some dirtbird barman in santa ponza

It was considered total crap & cheesy beyond belief back then by anybody I knew.

Really? Was it released on this side of the Atlantic? Apart from the time it appeared on Beavis & Butthead I don't remember it ever being played either on the radio or MTV and I was in my teens in the early 90s.

And then the dude went on to become a pastor and have a cute daughter who's a model. Not joking. (Daughter's name is Nadia Mejia).



Oh so much was considered awful-but still was successful. Milli Vanilli, Vanilla Ice, Gerardo, Limp Bizkit, Alien Ant Farm (Dear God, they were in Ireland recently, weren't they? Awful Band. One hit Wonders, their only hit being a cover-tho I admire Movies for how much of an interesting mess it is), Midnight Oil-Beds are burning,Daniel Powter-Bad day, Afroman-Cos I got high...

So much bad music. It's always been a mainstay.

I wouldn't lump Midnight Oil with that lot. They're a decent band with a long career.

I keep wondering am I just getting older and grumpier, or is modern music actually just getting steadily more irritating.

Every single ad seems to have music that just makes me want to rip my hair out.

Most modern music is awful drivel. Most ads are woeful.

in the dreadful center parks ad i keep thinking thr mother is too young. also what is the young lad saying when the mother and father are on the couch with a glass of wine? i cant make it out sound a bit like "better get up ........" something like that . i really think thats odd as hell , like yelling at the mother and father to get off the couch and into bed or what?

Mother of god there's another insurance and... Fella gets his sports car burned to a crisp and lo and behold the kind hearted insurance company give him an exact replacement, in my hole!!!

Well, the long career is because the lead singer went into politics. And even Alien Ant Farm and Wheatus are still around.
Doesn't make em exceptional.

I like Gotye too, but still a one hit wonder (so far). Mike Posner was almost a one hit wonder, with 'Cooler than me'. But then he wrote songs for Maroon 5, and had a follow up hit with 'Took a pill in Ibiza', which he wrote and sang.

There's an advert that uses a cover version of the Biz Markle 'classic' that's odd-cos this song was hardly respected, even if Biz has a lot of respect in the music industry, because he's a nice guy.

Sounded to me it was like "is it get up time yet" could be wrong though....even the radio advert is terrible.

Yeah Heather, that's why you never make it past the 2nd round.

Absolutely sick of seeing that stupid ad.

This is more a general irritation than a specific ad but why do tampon adverts always(no pun intended) focus on asses?

It confuses me massively. On one hand women are not meant to be oogled at. On the other hand I am having a professional athletes bum shown to me in HD under the guise of it helping with periods.

I think it's about showing how you can be active in skintight clothes without worrying about leakage or staining if you use this fabulous product. Rather than just say something along those lines (heaven forbid ) you're shown an ass in skintight clothing without an outline of a sanitary pad (fate worse than death) or a blood stain (fate worse than eternity in hell)

Well I hadn’t ever thought of it like that. As it turns out it’s just practical. Fair play Heather. Carry on

The ad for Homestore & More where the son pretends he's not coming coming home for the family get together and then turns up and says 'Surprise'.
The depressed head on the father is kind of cruel.

Knew someone who have thought the same as me, son is a cruel bollicksss with some kind of sick in the head misery fetish, perhaps he was mentally tortured as a child. If I was the father I'd have faked my death the following day and got it put in to RIP.ie to see what the response would be.

Thanks to your post I'll now never be able to gaze at a woman's arse without thinking of the information you've provided above.

I kind of have a laugh at some points of that advert-the bit when they try to unlock the car, and you can see the lights flashing in the background.

But yeah, it's irritating.

36, he's younger than that.

The way the kid is talking, makes him sound like he's a grandfather or something.
...Which, I suppose in the modern times we live in, he possibly could be.

its a terrible ad, in this day and age very few men aged 36 that are in that position
