| So happy together... |
James is
right, I am an advertiser's dream. He's been telling me this for years. One
morning this week I woke up with the song "Happy Together" by the
Turtles rolling around in my head. It stayed there all day and every time my
brain burst into song I had an intense feeling of happiness. It was lovely and
lasted all day.
I was
perplexed as to why that exact song because I couldn't remember hearing it
anywhere, but I didn't give it much more thought. That is until I was watching
TV tonight and an ad for the new season of Offspring came on. Well what do you know
- the theme song for the new season is "Happy Together". As I watched
the scenes with wonderfully crazy Nina and gorgeous Patrick looking all loved
up, I instantly felt the same level of happiness I'd experienced earlier in the
week as I sung to myself.
Obviously I must have seen the ad before, but being
so caught up in life I didn't notice it. It seems my subconscious took a liking
to it and stored it. I feel a little violated and slightly in awe of the power
of advertising right now. I am also launching an argument that all of those
unplanned shopping splurges over the years were not actually my fault. It's not
because I have no self-control, the ads made me do it.
