Me either because I simply tune out commercials.  I can't tell you which one advertists what.  Really, I can't think of one right now that I even remember what it is about.

@Cakers3 Well, to some I'm quite old too (72 this year).  I can still do all of the old dances, mashed potatoes, the swim, the locomotion, the Watusi, the stroll, there are lots more but I won't bore you.

I recently watched "The Goldbergs".  The show was about the "Golden Girls" but it was also about how the song can get into your head and you start singing it in your head.

After that episode it took a long time for me to get it out of my head.

I loved the way back in the 'old days' you actually knew the words to the songs and could actually sing the things.  These days with so much rapping going on I don't even understand what the hay they're saying.

Now that said, one of my favorite singers (he doesn't actually sing) is Eminem...yepper, I like his "OLD" stuff, some Slim Shady...but nothing he put out this past year...it's terrible.  That I can't stand.

It's funny though because I guess we won't be hearing much of those rap songs in the commercials.  Some of it is so atrocious who'd want to sing (rap) to it.

@Annabellethecat66  You are not much older than I am.  LOL  So I do remember those dances.

Plus I had older sisters so I remember much more, too.

I don't know about rap so much; but there are some great singers/song writers today and groups that have become generational in my family-meaning son, grandson, DH and I can be seen together at a concert with groups/solos from the "60's through today.  

Anyway, I hope you can get past those commercials. 

All the best to you.

No, some I like a lot.  This is one favorite from Travelers Insurance; Trouble, by Ray LaMontagne.

Same here .... and I record most shows & play them back, FF-ing through commercials, so I don't catch many of them. 

However, when I hear a song from "my era" I really enjoy hearing it.  It's like an old friend saying hello.

Since I DVR every show I watch, I don't see or listen to commercials. I do the 30 seconds per button push to bypass them, while at the same time, watching a 1 hour show in about 42 minutes.

It wouldn't matter to me what songs they play in a commercial.

Not at all.    I AM disturbed by commercials pushing medical drugs and devices.
