Is anybody else sick of hearing "This Magic Moment" by the Felice Brothers in the Dell Commercials?

[TexasTowelie]

It seems like the commercial is broadcast about twice an hour on every station and the Felice Brothers sing the song out of key. I can imagine the dogs howling at the moon outside because the guy sounds like he just had a vasectomy while he is singing.

1. It's horrible.

The song is bad enough. This particular cover is so bad I've started hitting the "mute" button. Fortunately, my exposure is limited because I only watch two hours of TV a day during the week and usually none at all on weekends.

2. Mute! Mute!

I can tolerate the song, hate the cover of it, and am damn sick of the commercial (I am not into my Dell computer anymore...)

3. I judge a commercial by how quick I hit the Mute Button. It goes right after the "This Mag......

Those insurance ads (which one I can't remember...maybe Geico) with the pig tapping on his IPhone...I unmute these. They are hilarious and way too short. I can't ever remember an ad I couldn't watch too many times. How they get the pig's face to make subtle emotional movements, interact with the others and the use of pun...keep that ad agency.

4. Dell = owned by nasty repuke Michael Dell

.. not to make it worse but he's one of the worst!

[tularetom]

5. I hate it but not as much as the one with the giant baby in the diaper

I also think anything made by Dell is a piece of shit.

7. Felice means 'happy.' Those clowns should be named 'Miseria!'

This is how that song is supposed to sound. Take it away Ben E King and the Drifters, without any "mechanical enhancements" to their voices, save perhaps and echo-y studio:

8. Hate it. Hate the new versions, not the original.

It's an old doo wop song by Ben E. King and the Drifters. Ben E. King did "Stand by Me."

And I get tired of the one with the giant baby because they're mauling "Love is Strange" which is an Everly Brothers song.

I thought "Love Hurts" was an original by Nazareth in the 70s, since that's the version I heard a lot. I just found out since Phil Everly died, that Love Hurts is an Everly Brothers song!!

9. I dislike ALL commercials that are played more than once or twice a day

[El_Johns]

10. I don't mind it but I like the old stuff better, just the energy.

[Raine]

11. I HATE it plus the commercial itself makes no sense to me. nt

[Spider Jerusalem]

12. I don't mind the song; I don't like this version, though (prefer the Lou Reed version):

[SunSeeker]

15. Cool. nt

[left on green only]

13. I rate it right up there with......

Neil Young and fingernails on chalk boards.

[cynatnite]

14. I care enough to post here that I don't really care....

It falls in line with all the other mind-numbing commercials that blare on the TV that I ignore.

[CTyankee]

16. I, too, hit the Mute button when I see this coming but I do that for LOTS of

commercials, particularly the stupid ones. The Crestor commercial with the guy dancing around upon hearing his Crestor lowers his cholesterol better than the competing brand is so dumb it actually makes me mad.
