> Does anyone here know the commercial I'm talking about? It's for Bailey's Irish Cream, and runs through a series of quick scenes with captions like "You got a tax return" and "Your in-laws couldn't make it for dinner" and then ends with a picture of a bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream and two glasses and the caption "And you thought you didn't have a reason to celebrate". > > Well, the thing with that commercial is the music. It is a simple synthesized sort of sound, repeated several times through the commercial. Well, I don't drink much (almost never, and when I do, it is never more than one or maybe on a wild night, two drinks) but I used to like that commercial because the scene with the couple and the "Your in-laws couldn't make it for dinner" caption was exactly how I wanted Amanda and I to be some day. I wanted us to have a nice big house, with a fireplace, and share intimate moments over a couple of drinks. (Probably her father's homemade wine rather than Bailey's Irish Cream, but whatever.) The problem is, I came to really like that music. I made a subconscious connection between the music and the feeling of the limitless future, of the simple joy of sharing Amanda's company. I have seen that commercial about three times this week, and last night when I saw it, it hit me so hard that I had to get up and walk out of the room. Now that song is in my head and it is DRIVING ME MAD. I would go into RinkChat and vent, but I am at work now and have wisely had my work IP banned from RinkChat so I can get more work done (and it is working-- Thanks Leen!) so I'm venting here. There's a bigger audience here anyway. :-) Thanks again for putting up with my emotional roller coaster. > > Don "The Monkey'Breaking up is suX0r'man" Jackson
Try thinking of "The Song That Never Ends," also known as the Lambchop theme song. That should drive out all other songs and then drive you insane.
(Don't take this the wrong way: I am not trying to make light of your serious post. Sometimes humor eases pain.)
