Kyyle23 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationw...0,7149583.story I thought this was just a radio jingle, I had no idea it was a real song from "The Fixx" The sooner they stop showing it the better. Its almost as bad as seeing Kelly Clarkson every other commercial during the 05 season and playoffs for the Ford commercial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a muzak remake of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't pretend you're too young to remember suffereing through them the first time around. I was 5 when this song came out. So there is no pretending, I have absolutely no recollection of this song. Im listening to it on youtube right now, its not as hideous as the radio jingle, but its not good at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggliopipe Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Toyota used the same song in an equally relentless ad campaign 7-8 years ago. I know because I couldn't stand the song then so I assumed everyone disdained it. I downloaded it, pumped the volume way up, looped the song and left my dorm room to hysterical results.

DABearSoX Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 god I hate it with a passion.... although, not as much as the damn Chevy John Mellencamp crap that was played 15-20 times in every major sporting event I watched on TV for 3 years... no wonder why Chevy is going to go out of business...

Kid Gleason Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 (edited) That commercial and the dang Subway $5 footlong jingle drives me friggin' crazy. The original Fixx song sucked also. But I love, love, LOVE "One Thing Leads To Another". Edited November 15, 2008 by Kid Gleason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Critic Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 This is my favorite song by The Fixx, Secret Separation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkL3sfs0Y18 I liked Saved By Zero but it's been played out, as has One Thing Leads To Another.

scenario Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I always liked the Fixx song "Stand or Fall". It had a stupid video, but it's a good song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zimne piwo Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I still have SHUTTERED ROOM on CD, pretty decent 80s album and it has both STAND OR FALL and RED SKIES ("Red skies at night...") Not really a big fan of their later material, but DRIVEN OUT (from their CALM ANIMALS album) is pretty cool as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Reach the Beach was my fave Fixx song (from the album of the same name). I owned Fixx cassettes and, I think, a record, at one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearSox Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 (edited) Those directv commercials with clips of movies annoy the hell out of me. You see the same commercial every f***ing commercial break it seems like. I mean those commercials aren't that bad of an idea IMO, but they shouldn't have the same movie clip but rather alternate them. Also, I hate the viva Viagra commercial. Not only is it annoying, it's awkward as hell when you're watching tv with family. I think every commercial involving the phrase "ED" should be banned.

My wife had company over one night. The last was in her 60's. The play-offs were on, and obviously during evefry single commercial break there were commercials for that stuff. The volume was also obviously 100x louder for them, so there I was diving across the room to turn the damn volume down every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My young kids have got to be wondering what this Viagra stuff is for and why it's making all the grandpas and grandmas on teevee dance so much. Our local go-kart park is on my list as well for the same reason. Their peewee karts have cool sponsor paint jobs on them like real race cars - Hardees and Penzoil and the like. But why on earth would they also include a kiddie kart with a Viagra logo painted on it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
