Most annoying spot or jingle ever in ATL Radio

nightmanager said:
Sandy Shumate would have gotten my vote. That shrill voice alone can clean out air ducts -would be fun, once, to hear Sandy and Belinda Skelton together in one ad. Nobody would be able to tell who was talking. But Shumate has wisely quit using Sandy in the ads and instead brought in a stupid jingle with lots of xylophone. What's the other HVAC company who ripped off the Taxi theme song? Why haven't they been sued for that?

Kars 4 Kids... after hearing them nonstop for years in other markets, I about went to the ER the first time they ran a spot in Atlanta. But thank god they haven't been running as many spots here. That jingle is poison.

I put the Kars4Kids jingle on my daughter's iPhone after downloading it from their website. She hated my doing that.

I hate those Shumate jingles where they are trying to sound like Leigh Nash/Sixpence None The Richer.

The latest one from Cancer treatment Centers of America. Good people doing good work, but their ad is just a turn off. "When I found out I had breast cancer....(pause and change voice for effect)...I was devastated." I listened a little closer and realized the background music stops during "I was devastated". Was it dubbed in later because she didn't give it enough "Umph" the first time?

If the music stops right before "I was devastated," it was planned that way for dramatic effect. I haven't heard that spot, but I've cut some like that - one of the most effective got a guy elected mayor out in Dallas in the last week of a tight race.
