As thread title really. For the last two days I've woken up with Dire Straits' 'Romeo & Juliet' in my head, interspersed with both the BBC and ITV's World Cup jingles.

The jingles I can cope with, but the Dire Straits thing is really bugging me now

So, what song/jingle is stuck in your head today?

I've had the Turkey-Lurkey song in my head since I watched Camp the other evening. Very irritating yet strangely fascinating at the same time.

Bran Flakes. They actually came up with that jingle because in taste tests people kept saying that they didn't have any taste. reverse psychology (taps nose).

Yep, my friend and I were discussing it at the weekend. I always thought it was for crunchy nut cornflakes

I remember a jingle on local radio in the Midlands from many years ago, still don't know who it was advertising and what their company do though!

'Before you sign on the dotted line, call Tempo!'

That bloody tinie tempah song 'frisky' was in my head yesterday (particuarly the line 'would you risk it for a chocolate biscuit') because my brother kept playing it before I went to work yesterday.

I get that every day as well, think I had some Lady Gaga song stuck in my head this morning. At the moment I seem to be humming Roisin Murphy's Overpowered a lot.
