I can't think of a specific song but I can say that I hate when radio ads do that shit.

There used to be a ad for an auto body repair, Maaco. Their ad would end with spelling out the name, but in the middle were horns honking, "M double A (Beep Beep) C O" Fucking hated that ad.

The fact that you remember this is exactly why they will keep doing it. Remember: ads are psychological warfare.

But he got the chain wrong :)

[โ€“] HonkTonkWoman@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago

Alternate view: they hate the wrong chain, ergo the ad still worked.

I hate ads. And now hate Maaco & Aamco too.

Ads should be banned

[โ€“] ripcord@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Nah it was similarly-named Aamco.

"Double A (beep beep) M C O"

You're right, my mistake.

Shows what a shitty ad it was. It was so bad, I was boycotting an entirely different business.
