Internal Jukebox

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I win the thread:

It's called Toys-Я-Us Toys-Я-Us Toys-Я-Us"

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!

Someone was singing that Toys R Us jingle across the office at work last week. It is very catchy... but We Buy Any Car takes the fcuking biscuit!

It's not even a tune! How is it so catchy? I want to know the science behind this.

A firefox extension called abcTajpu. Has Greek and Cyrillic alphabets, all sorts of accented Latin letters, obscure punctuation, and so on. The Я is a Cyrillic capital letter.

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.

Alternatively just pick up a copy of Memory by Baddeley, Eysenck & Anderson. It should be required reading on any Psychology degree.

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

I think a book on the Black Arts might give me more of an insight into how they came up with that particular ear-worm!
