There was an ad for the Super 8 chain of motels that featured a cheerful guy showering while (wretchedly) singing the praises of his motel room over a kind of "Body And Soul" piano figure. He parrots every utterance of the unseen (voiceover) spokesman in a kind of clichéd swingin' Vegas fashion, complete with inane ad-libs. ("Whatta room-room room room room yeah!" Absolutely (intentionally) gawdawful and hilarious.

This isn't actually good, but it seems to grow even stronger in my head the more it recedes into the past:

The song from this 90s Canadian anti-smoking ad still gets in my head sometimes:

This will be a favourite of Scottish ilxors of a certain vintage...

Don't know if the ad made it to the US but it was broadcasted constantly in Europe and Latinamerica in the late 90's:

So, in my circle of friends I've always been the 'music trivia machine' they go to when they want to know the name of any given song. This one was heavily requested and I couldn't give them a real answer because the song was just created for the ad. I've also seen the question asked thousands of times on yahoo answers and such.
Kinda sounds like EMF I suppose.

Here's the supposed creators and name of the song (it's really just the same snippet without the ad... it gets more annoying without the video... are they saying 'cheesemac'?) :

Thierry Fauchard and Alain Plumauzille - L'Ascenceur

I think this jingle from Adam Buxton's podcast might be my most listened to music of 2017 so far
