I win the thread:
"There's million, says Geoffrey, all under one roof,
It's called Toys-Я-Us Toys-Я-Us Toys-Я-Us"
"There's million, says Geoffrey, all under one roof,
It's called Toys-Я-Us Toys-Я-Us Toys-Я-Us"
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

The most random thing about having the Toys-Я-Us ad as an ear-worm is that I can't even remember seeing it recently!

Then you'll need to read "Saturation advertising and the repetition effect" by Debra Bekerian & Alan Baddeley in the Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior.boudicca wrote:It's not even a tune! How is it so catchy? I want to know the science behind this.
Alternatively just pick up a copy of Memory by Baddeley, Eysenck & Anderson. It should be required reading on any Psychology degree.
