Default Most irritating advert song ever?

Just my thoughts, but for those of you that watch the Top Gear repeats on UKtv G2, don't you think that the 2 seconds of song that they play on that satnav advert is the most appalling bit of crap ever? I've only heard a tiny snippet of it and I despise it intensely! Surely someone else knows what I'm on about

{shakes head in disbelief} How that woman ever managed to hold her head up in public again is beyond me. I'm sure her kids would rather have admitted that their mother was a prostitute/crack addict/Leeds fan than the 'Shake 'n' Vac Lady'

Agreed, can't get enough of Barry Scott. I love the way he can go from talking to shouting with no change of his facial expression whatsoever. Thanks for putting the link up for that video, I've been looking for it for aaages since the link I had stopped working!
