As a kid most of my favourite songs came from television advertisements.
My mum would constantly remind me that as a 3-year-old, I would sing with great enthusiasm and feeling to a particular song to the point that she actually thought I truly “felt” and “lived” the lyrics – at some point – maybe in a previous life? Maybe at kindie? She really wasn’t all that sure.
I think it may have been advertising Jex.
The song was ”Me & Mrs Jones”.
Can’t really say having an affair with a married woman is something I’ve experienced. Yet….
And I’m not sure why it appealed to me as much as it did. The ad was about cleaning products. And the music wasn’t exactly upbeat a la the Wiggles. Seems I was laidback even as a toddler.
My daughter on the other hand, does not carry that gene and is completely influenced by upbeat songs on the radio.
“ALL DA thiNGLE LADIESTH…all da thingle ladiesth…put your handsth UP! Uh-oh OH! Uh-oh oh…Uh-oh oh oh oh oh…uh-oh oh, uh-oh oh, uh-oh oh uh-uh oh…”
and…
“Ah kissed da girl n’ ah layked it…ah hmm ma boyfren hmm mah mah it…ah kissed da girl n’ ah layked it…ma hmm ma mmmm mnn no nnn nah nah…”
Hmmm…maybe there is a theme here…

The words ‘anything but Taylor Swift’ spring to mind….. but I guess it’s a tough call as to which is worse – country style yodelling or junk in trunks bringing da boyz to da yard.
Etc etc.
