ah, gotta love the invasiveness of ads...I often find myself humming a tune, wondering what it is for a day or two, then seeing it on an ad.... Back in primary school, a friend and I once spent a whole day wondering where we knew the phrase "thankyou. May I?" from. After even asking the teacher, we finally remembered it was from the Twisties ad where the hunk in the drive-in movie looks out at a lady watching, says..."excuse me, yes you...they're Twisties, aren't they?" and then proceeds to step out of the film, sit down next to her, and when she offers him the bag, says "thankyou- may I?" I can still recite far too many ads from my childhood, tv themes, cartoon songs, etc....I should be grateful I missed out on the new Thomas then, eh? And now of course I had to look for the new theme... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CjCaZQNB7M&feature=related And I found this too... oh, how positively British. Ra-ther. :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yPJKx90Ttg&feature=related
