I win the thread:

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

Have you seen the 'We buy any car' advert. Jesus.

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!

the car advert jingles are the worst but also those fecking "we'll buy your gold!" averts too with the jingles cheeeessy as feck

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!

dot comm!

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.

Ah, of course, I'd forgotten about that

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.

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!
