Those classic songs you can't get out of your head, but can't remember the name or lyrics of

If you're anything like me, you host parties nearly every weekend. When you're not hosting or preparing for a party, you watch lots of VH1, to stay up to date on the current fads and fashions.

But isn't it the worst! I'm always watching the 'mmercials, as my wife Barb and I call them, and I hear a tune that I just can't stop wistling in my head! Here's an example:


In case you were wondering, the song in the background is "Hey You! (The Rock Steady Crew)." You can thank me later!

Anyway folks, I got to thinking, wouldn't it be 'cool' if someone on the internet posted the beats to songs, so that other folks could search for the beats in a google search and find out what song they're looking for? This idea gave me an enormous erection. So I got right to work. Here are some songs from commercials that I've spent some time looking up in the past, along with their crescendoing back beats. You can thank me later!

  • "Ba dah dah, ba duh duh, ba dahh dahh, dah dahh duh, dahh du duhh" -- The song you are looking for is ACDC's "Highway to Heaven"!
  • "Dohm. Be de de, be de de, be de daoi" -- The song you are looking for is OMC's "How Bizarre"!
  • "BEH DUHN! de de de de BEH DUHN! de de de de" -- The song you are looking for is Journey's "Anyway You Want It"!
  • "De De Duh Duh De De Duh Duh Duh" -- The song you are looking for is Foreigner's "Cold as Ice"
  • Be deh, Be de deah duhh, be deh, be de deah duhh, YEAH!" -- The song you are looking for is the B52's "Love Shack"!

That's all I have time for at the moment, friends. But rest assured, I will post more next week! You can thank me later!
