Hmmm. What does it mean if you're earwormed with an instrumental? Because apart from the "Right here, right now"s, the Fatboy song IS an instrumental (and I don't really count sampled vocals as lyrics). I know the whole song, and it's only bits of it that are going through my head (and it's not so much the vocal part).
eta Maybe you just have unresolved Jesus Jones issues? :)
I know, from personal experience with the old Yoplait Yogurt jingle, this isn't always the case, as I *still* know the melody and all the words.
I know all the words to the Polaroid Swinger ad from the '60s, and yet it still takes over my brain for days at a time.

Maybe, except I couldn't even remember it was his song, until I Googled it, yesterday.

Is it a jingle, or spoken-word?

Meet the Swinger, Polaroid Swinger.
It's not just a camera, it's almost alive,
It's only nineteen dollars, and ninety-five...
Sometimes the best way for me to get rid of an
ohrwurm
is to sing it out loud.. Preferably in a private, non-embarrassing place.
Even though I love Liszt, I sometimes can't help but hear:
"We start out with an English muffin,
then add cheese and egg and somethin',
really good, Canadian bacon,
that is how we go 'bout makin'--
Breakfast! McDonald's breakfast!
Made from the very best ingredients, we do it all for you"
And like Theodosia, I just have to sing it out.
Could someone explain the 10 dollar beer cup to me. Does it afford you unlimited access to the keg? How do frats turn a profit on that?
I thought this was the best arc resolution episode yet which is partly thanks to the shortness, partly thanks to the well-madiness of the arc.

It does afford you all you can drink, but most don't drink more than a couple of cups, so they subsidize the truly wasted. Plus, it's not really meant to turn a profit. Break even would be nice, but as long as the losses aren't substantial, they're probably happy.
I see that DX is also wasting brain cells on the Polaroid Swinger jingle.
Swing it up
It says yes
Take the shot
Count it down
Zip it off
Plus, it's not really meant to turn a profit.
Why do they do it then? So confused.
