Earworm

[mr_antrobus]

Jane's cell phone plays an annoyingly cheerful ring tone that has two distinct properties:

(1) It is clearly audible to me no matter where in the house I happen to be, but she can never, ever hear it.

(2) Its tune strongly resembles the main guitar/bass riff of the Shocking Blue (later, Bananarama) song "Venus."

So it tends to ring for a long time,

That song was on commercials for the Venus razor. It got stuck in my head every time I saw it, which was about every time I watched the TV (I didn't watch TV very often, even then, so I'm assuming the commercial was just overplayed).

My alarm clock on my phone is set to a funky jazz riff and it constantly makes me sing 'Play that Funky Music' to myself because of the bass riff.
