Jimbo, both suck for different reasons! Florida Blue for its sappy and saccraine singing and Apple iPhone 5 for its monotone and tone deaf singing!


One good thing about TV-you could always turn it off

This is playing EVERY SINGLE COMMERCIAL BREAK on the station I'm watching. Hipster BS to the highest degree.

Another horrible song combined with the same horrible message that good parents and happy families have their f*cking iphones to thank for it and that interacting with the godd*mn thing in every aspect of your life is a good idea enrages me and its the reason why I joined this site last year. We are doomed as a society if people are falling for this crap. It scares me.

AHHHHHH!!!
People are dumb.

It makes one wonder what the Advertising company was thinking.  They took one of the MOST annoying noises EVER - a baby screeching, and add it to the most inane, horribly sung song by some vapid cow.

Yeah, like THAT is going to make me want to rush right out and buy one of their pieces of crap!  NOT.

AW! That baby is so cute LOLOLOL and the singer and the song are just sooooo hip! (puke, puke)
I think the "War on Drugs" should focus on the advertising world. If they're not doing drugs then there's something else very seriously wrong with them. They should not be permitted in public without a handler present

^fer chrissakes, gents! They don't do this to make you LOVE them - they do this to make you REMEMBER THEM when you ARE ACTUALLY LOOKING and trying to figure what you really need or can depend upon - you will be drawn to their product and may accidently NOT remember the commercial you hate so very much.
Or you will - but you'll buy it anyway. If their commercials are that damned bad, then all the good money went into the product, so you can't possibly go wrong, eh?
If I ever buy an idiot phone of my own, I'm getting a Samsung (I've got a super-duper BlackBerry, but it is a work device)

I have mixed feelings about this one:
The bad:  In a sea of hipster-focused commercials featuring bad songs sung poorly, this one stands out as particularly loathsome on every level.  
The good:  After lurking on this site on and off for years, this commercial has done what no commercial has been able to do before.  It motivated me to finally register as a member.

I knew I wasn't the only one hearing that!

My husband mutes the tv every time the ad plays now because he got tired of me singing "Popeye the Sailor Man" along with it. A monotone, depressing, record-played-at-too-slow-speed version of Popeye, of course.

I composed my own little ditty to this tune...

She's dreaming that she can sing
She's dreaming that she can sing
The awful guitar
Made me head for the bar
She's dreaming that she can sing....

Good God where have you people been all my life! Rather than hurl myself from a roof top, I googled that I hate this commercial and...here you beautiful people are, sharing in my disdain of the current trend of hipsters ruining television watching one vomit inducing commercial at a time.

More amazing is that the woman who sings this song has a following. She sings concerts in front of what I presume are other horn rimmed wearing self-important ponytailed men and Birkenstock wearing women who are certain to have long flowing pubes and underarm pungence rivalled only by third world citizens that don't have a choice.

Man am I glad I found this forum!

There are a lot of crappy ad songs, but this one's just so miserable and hackish. Why does every low-talent chick with a guitar want to be Zooey Deschanel?

I just joined, and I'm SO GLAD to see that I'm not the only viewer who despises that song, and the general tendency to use such lame music!  I assume that they show these things to test audiences, which really depresses me, if such crap is considered to be good by anyone.

Don't jump off the roof! Jump on board with the rest us coach potatoes! Everybody needs a release, and with television being what it is these days, we NEED a board like this! I wonder how many deaths and injuries this site has prevented! Think of all those smashed tv screens! OH THE HUMANITY!!!

Hey Horton, I'm sure that they tested the commercial in a community filled with pony-tailed men and Birkie wearing hipsters.... in other words, the community where Apple resides. After all, the rest of us live in flyover country.

Welcome aboard all newbies!

So far I've only been assaulted by this Apple ad on the board (to see what everyone was talking about) and it's a dismal reminder of how cell phones have taken over every moment of some people's lives.  The mono-singing, bored guitar strumming chick is horrible.  Does this pass for talent these days?

I don't know about that.  I live just up the road from Apple HQ and haven't seen too many ponytailed men and Birkie wearing hipsters around here.
