Mojo Request You guys know the car commercial with the opera singer going ah ah ah ah ah ah

I thought it was the alien opera singer from The Fifth Element the first time I heard it (was in the kitchen and couldn't see the TV).
 
It’s been driving my wife and I both crazy. If I was in the SUV they’re advertising I’d drive it off a cliff...
 
Theres quite a few advertisements that make me switch channels.

Its baffling sometimes as to what they think we want to see.

We don't. Dickheads.

They are designed that way. It’a all about being instantly memorable. The more obnoxious, the more you remember them.

You could be right, but if the ad annoys me I'm not going to buy what they're trying to sell.
 
When the TV is on, my brain picks those jingles apart. I can't help it. They normally follow trends, with every one of them having choruses of Ooohs and aaahs (the past few years) that were obviously copying some recent pop song I don't know, or mandolins and ukuleles and now the most recent, the mighty bashing of trash can lids or dumpsters, some sort of obnoxious metallic smashing instead of drums. Drives me crazy sometimes.
 
I was told that the Queen Of The Night should sound powerful & angry singing that part, and the gal singing it has too sweet a voice.

:shrug:

Nope. My cable box isn't even hooked up. I get everything via streaming and see very few commercials. /humble_brag

I've only recently begun to appreciate streaming, at least for some types of content. Now that we finally have an adequate connection, we get fantastic picture to go along with no commercials, watch what you want when you want, etc.

We get about 999 cable channels, and mainly just watch news and sports. With the occasional food porn show thrown in.

The wife and I are both still "cable connected" but I'm trying to steer us away from it, slowly. She's got her shows she likes on Animal Planet, or this other channel that does nothing but home makeovers (ugh) and flea market garbage stuff. I like Sundance and IFC, they run some good movies, but that's about it, out of the 250 channels of junk.

I've had a ChromeCast stuck in the big TV's HDMI for a while now, and recently started streaming Netflix to it, and even YouTube stuff that we both like, sometimes just letting the videos run one after another. We've killed entire evenings without ever touching cable.

After getting AT&T 100mb fiber last Feb, I had the barest minimum cable channels possible, which would allow an unlimited data cap. Now that I've upgraded to 1000mb cable, which has no data cap, my cable box isn't even hooked up, and after the contract expires in Feb, I'll send it back.

Yes, but does anyone here remember the auto manufacturer's name regarding that commercial?
