Yeah, okay…so there I am watching TV.  It doesn’t matter what I’m watching because that is so not the point. Suddenly this catchy little diddy comes on the ol’ bewb tewb and I suddenly burst out into song.  Not a pretty sound…but I cannot control it.  Singing along with this commercial is completely involuntary!

You’re probably wondering what jingle would have such an affect on me, right? (If not, bite me…hehe.) If you live in the United States, I know you’ve heard it…assuming you watch TV once in a great while.

The commercial is for freecreditreport.com. They actually have a few different commercials with catchy tunes, but the particular one I’m referring to is my favorite. Why, you ask? I have absolutely no idea!

Everytime I post YouTube videos on my blog, it blows things out of whack, so here is the link instead.

I have no idea who the dude in these commercials is. I don’t even know if he really sings them or not. All I know is that this commercial is verging on too catchy. The fact that I cannot watch the stupid thing without singing along scares the crap out of me! Here are the lyrics:

Well they say a man should always dress for the job he wants
So why am i dressed up like a pirate in this restaurant
Its all because some hacker stole my identity
Now I’m in every evening serving chowder and ice tea

Shoulda gone to free credit report dot com
I coulda seen this comin’ at me like an atom bomb
They monitor your credit and send you e-mail alerts
So you don’t end up selling fish to tourists in t shirts

I can’t even imagine how much money they’ve made from these commercials. I mean, Geico cleaned up when they did the whole caveman thing. Granted, they totally OVER-did it, but still…the commercials must’ve brought in buttloads of new customers. I’m assuming these freedcreditreport.com commercials are bringing in lots of new people as well.

I guess I’m done ranting now. I just had to get that out of my system. This commercial’s jingle is stuck in my head….and I don’t even mind! I’m sick! Sick, I tell ya’!
