Does the Rapid Advance Commercial song stick in anyone else's ears?

[Armstead]

That commercial is insidious. It's set up like a classic mini Broadway or Hollywood show.

IT's soooo tacky, but in a bizarre way, really well done. Perky, upbeat. ......Hrad to believe it's all about a "rapid loan" company that lends to business. (Whether its shady or legit, I don't know)

Anyway, that damn songbleeps popping into ky head at unexpected times.

Has it become an earworm for anyone else?

1. No good w/o a clip of it. I have no idea what it is. nt

2. Here you go

3. Compared to what's usually out there trying to insult our intelligence, it's the Mona Lisa.

Here in the south, most of our ads consist of banjos and out-of-tune guitars.

4. Problem is, the tune is really catchy - great advertising BUT

It gets stuck in your head.

Sort of like Ferryman's jingle:

5. I forgot about that one. WOW!..absolutely wonderful.

[csziggy]

6. Now I have that one as an earworm. AAAAaaaaahhhhh! n/t

[Armstead]

8. It's definetly stuck in mine

could drive me crazy if I don't come across another "earworm." to replace it soon. //Hopefully Mozart or something

[csziggy]

9. This one works better for me than Mozart

12. Thanks! To me it sounds like "generic show tune." nt

7. It reminds me...

....of the JJ Wentworth commercials. Easily in the top ten pools of puke ever foisted on the public. If either one comes on, I scramble for the remote. They're that irritating. I might watch one out of thirty or forty tv ads. Foreign advertisers have more creativity in their little fingers than most American advertisers have in their entire being. A big to the DVR!

10. I'm starting to make up alternate lyrics for it

which would likely be censored were they to be sung on broadcast television.

11. I'm a chef I'm a ....."

I wont go any farther

[progressoid]

13. Farmers only dot com!

Any time one of these comes on, I hit the mute button as fast as possible.

14. Wayfair does it to me

Best way to get rid of an ear worm is to say a five letter acronym out loud. NARAL, ASPCA, etc. sounds stupid but it works - at least for me.

[Armstead]

15. Thank. I'll try that the next time that dang song starts burrowing into my ear

16. rapid advance jingle

I can see how this would rub people the wrong way, but I actually Googled it trying to find out what brilliant composer
actually wrote the jingle (I'm a composer myself). It's very well written, orchestrated, arranged, performed, recorded,
produced and choreographed. Very clever - and of course, extremely generic as a Broadway cliche. But I think that's
what makes it so appealing! First off, I saw it on CNN -which I have on in the background all day long. And for once, it's not
a commercial telling me about all the ailments I'm gong to have when I'm an old fart, and it has nothing to do with all
the BAD news out there 24/7. As a musician, I've played in numerous Broadway shows so you would think I'd be annoyed
by this jingle reminding me of some of the shows I've played - in some cases - over a thousand times! But instead, I am completely
charmed by it. Weird, huh? It's like a throwback to a time when a jingle was a SONG. Like the old cereal commercials
(Snap, Crackle, Pop, e.g.) etc. As for the tune itself, it has not created an ear worm for me, thankfully. I am more impressed
with the visual production, actually. And I'm completely at a loss to explain how a non-fortune 500 company could even afford to produce a 60-second spot (most are 30 sec or less) that obviously had a high production cost. It's not a company I would ever use myself, but kudos to them for going "old-school" and calling attention to themselves - even if it's negative.

17. Actually I find it quite impressive

I work with the TV in the background frequently. It drives me crazy in a way, but yeah, it is something where everything clicks. I like the 30's Dead End Kid at the end "Yuh Money's heeeeah!"
