  • just opt for the other curse ...

    gimme back that filet-o-fish

    gimme that fish

    gimme back that filet-o-fish

    gimme that fish

  • -That's true,and hilarious.

    I want it as a ringtone,though.

  • LOL at 1:42 . Well done. It's the combo of harmonies and the unusual use of a minor chord in an ad. I hope that you do a parody on the ads that have the long, slow piano notes and chords played with heavy sustain...

  • @CourtNewsNetwork are you fucking stupid? it's called a parody. this is youtube. lighten up.

  • it's the harmony mixed with the melody that gets you. i know what you mean, mang.

  • great job!

  • lol

    Try listening to Katy Perry's "I Kissed A Girl" and "Hot N Cold" instead, and call me in the morning.

  • @TypeORedPill lol, i sing that all the time...and im a girl. so its awkward.

  • lol

    That was last year! Now try Selena Gomez's "Falling Down" - a bit more current...

  • Im a school bus driver youd be surprised how many little kids sing this song. Vid was funny very funny and esoteric like the film pi.

  • I can relate to this. I nearly died a horrible death from the equally painful "Chocolate Rain" curse. Only electroshock therapy and a medically induced coma cured me.

  • Laughed until tears rolled down my face.

  • thanx! you're swell!

  • I don't know why this is so freakin' funny, but it is! Can't help LMAO every time I watch this. ; ) I haven't gotten the Subway $5 song stuck in my head, but I know how this guy feels. Sometimes I get a certain Christmas song stuck in my head and I CANNOT GET IT OUT! I'll start humming the first few lines every few minute all day, and I just want to scream "G*d D*mn It!!!" Hahaha!!!! This is espially annoying since I don't even like Christmas. It really is a curse! ; D

  • Sorry about the spelling mistakes above - was in a hurry...

  • aaah the terror!!! why!!? why do you remind us!!!?

  • Its catchy but not that catchy

  • ive that song stuck in my head for a while now!!! everytime i gotta get a f"n subway!

    fiiiiiiiive dolllar footloooooooooooooong

  • you look like the guy on mythbusters

  • Oh my God. He totally does.

  • i don't get it stuck in my head.

  • I live in Canada, and I only watched the commercial a few times. But I STILL get it stuck in my head and start randomly saying it. The worst part is that no one knows what i'm talking about at first, until I tell them to go watch the youtube video :P

  • I just had a 5 doolar footlong!! You are hilarious!!!!!!!!!!! Make more videos!!! AB FAB!

  • I've got it stuck in my head too, and I don't want it to go! I'm going to get a footlong RIGHT NOW!!!

  • I have, it! Rehab didn't help.

  • So true. Out of nowhere I say it for no reason. Curse the $5 curse

  • LMAO. I repeatedly find myself singing this song. Kind of comforting knowing I'm not the only one.

  • I saw this commercial a hundred times and it never got stuck in my head... Well... Up until I discovered it was getting stuck in other peoples' heads. >.>

  • One of my students was actually singing this jingle today under his breath.

  • I didn't have the curse until I waatched this vid.  Curse you MSN

  • Yes, I almost had it out of my head. BUT THEN, MSN puts it on the top left and it's there all day.  I feel obligated to break out the old walkman and play music on it all day to get the song out of my head. I use my mp3 for podcasts only. Hey, how about battling that song with MC Pee Pants song "I want candy."

  • FUCKING FUNNEH

  • Lol, this is funny.

  • LMAO! That jingle has been stuck in my head too! God damnit!

    Very funny stuff

  • Very funny! I think you did a great job of drawing out the humor when we get those catchy jingles stuck in our head. But the great thing it shows is it's effect on you and your life. I'm thinking - "when this guy has a hankering for a sub, there's no fucking way he's going to Port of Subs or some other place - he's going to Subway". And nightskydeity - you're an idiot. Go back to the teachers lounge and quit your bitchin.

  • I'm curious to know how it is that I am an idiot? And seeing as I am not a teacher, I have no "teachers lounge" to return to, so I suppose I will "continue my bitching"

  • holy shit i used to work at subway and every motherfucker would come in there singing that shit

  • Oh, and I just wanted to add, seanola this was awesome! I really like the way it was filmed and it appears you put some time and effort into it, it isn't just slapped together like some youtube videos. Great job!

  • your singin it wrong dumb ass!!!!

  • its you're

    as in you are singing it wrong.

    dumb ass!!!

  • Thank you for noticing that! I had intended on commenting about it, but I was too busy defending myself for sounding intelligent!

  • Okay really, do you have nothing better to do? Nearly everyone in America has seen this commercial, not because they are "fat" or "watch too much tv" but because it is a viral commercial put out by a big industry. And let's take a moment to examine your choice of a youtube name..."milfdancer"? With your potty mouth and obvious lack of intelligence you probably fit the profile for a "MILF" perfectly.

  • i live in america and ive never seen the commercial

  • so do I and I see it non stop on every channel

  • I know that jingles can be annoying but this one isn't actually THAT catchy.The Charmin toilet paper one seems far more catchy, to me anyway. It doesn't even have a reel tune.

  • this is hilarious man! just came to check it out after reading slate this morning. kudos! that's pretty cool. i agree its pretty catchy, almost as much as the chilis nightmare, maybe moreso because its easier to sing and you don't need a backup singer haha!

  • i like the way this is filmed

    old school scratchy etc

  • Hillarious!

  • Oh and to add to my previous post, are you a fat dumbass as well? I am curious to know how you "stumbled" upon this video if you are not yourself familiar with the commercial? Please, do tell.

  • That Sucked waste of mine time and a waste of your time

  • $5 footlong is taking over the world.

    i CANT get it out of my head. AHHHHH!!!!!

  • I am going to rehab to have the song removed from my brain.

  • You're just making it worse for yourself and the rest of us around you...lame video. low rating...thanks for wasting my time and proving once again there are people out there with ZERO time on their hands. Get a job at Subway and do something with your life ;~)

  • You just wasted your precious time typing up an rant when you could have just said absolutely nothing and watched something better ;~)

  • lol...im sorry but if he had ZERO time on his hands, he certainly wouldn't have the time to make this video right? i think you meant he had way too much time on his hands...am i right? of course if your browsing through you tube videos, like i am, you probably do to.

  • This video is fantastic. well done sir.

    You are awarded five foot-long internets

  • so funny

  • Hilarious! My boyfriend and I can't stop singing this darned song!  I feel your pain. Congrats on the MSN article!

  • OK so this stupid thing WASN"T stuck in my head until I went and saw your video. THANKS A LOT PAL!!! (LOL)

  • I loved this video! Its sooo true!!

  • its hilarious because its soo true...i can't tell you how many times i've caught myself starting to sing that and then screamed profanities at myself because i just don't want it to happen anymore! it truly is a curse

  • I sometimes find myself making up chord pregressions to go with this song, lol. I saw your video's link on Slate, congrats! I agree with Andrewy08, in the last few weeks I've eaten at Subway at least ten times, even though I rarely go there. Weird...

  • Oh my gosh this is hilarious!!!! "GodDAMMIT!" lmao

  • funny as a monkey humping a football.

    quick thought though, get a Tivo perhaps.

  • five dollar footlong!

  • nice vid; i just read about your vid on msn; but its true like i duuno ive been to subway like ocuntless of times cause of that commercial; but just like i got head on lol and dat ish does work; thats the best way to market stuff

  • I just read about your video on MSN. Funny idea. Me and my friends hate that commercial, but since it came out, we've been to Subway 3-4 times. Marketing like this works.

  • i used to live in vandalia ohio, the submarine house is way better than subway!! the only thing more annoying than the commercial would be if wierd al sang it!!LOL

  • OMG, the $5 foot long song, god I cannot stop singing it. Very nice, I just saw this on MSN

  • that was the movie Halloween 3: Season of the Witch.

    4 more days til Halloween

    Halloween

    Halloween

    4 more days til Halloween - Silver Shamrock!

  • this song is trying to make me insane that little jingle is forever burned into my brain nd now i cant get it out....5 dollar dammit

  • I just read about yout vid on MSN and had to check it out... pretty cool dude. Nice job.

  • lol at 1:28

    My cats react to the song in a weird way when it comes on TV... they just stop what they're doing and stick their heads up =o

  • oh my god, my friend and I were just talking about this yesterday. Linked from Slate, very funny. :D well done, too!

  • well, oddly I have NEVER seen the commercial til now. but probably I'll see it all the time now since I have finally seen it here!! LOL!!

  • Seanola....GREAT JOB...IT's so true!!!!Hilarious!!!!! To all of you jokers out there.... if you want to really get someone, hum the "Mr. Sandman" song... you know the one..... "Mr Sandman bring me a dream...bum.bum.bum bum" hahahahaha it works everytime!!!!!

  • I agree...Sandman is a creepy song though(I think it was in Halloween2,and it scared the crap out of me -the movie and now the song- I was only 9 at the time)

  • I love the "Mr Sandman" song and don't mind that it is now (thanks to WarrPigg1969) stuck in my head again. The song I do find creepy is the "Jeepers Creepers" song. "J-C" was once a fun 'Hello Dolly' type song but after that first "J-C" movie the song now freeks me out.

  • wow. this is me.

    it all started with someone bringing it up at school.

    no one has stopped singing it yet. it is really killing me now.

  • haha this is so funny! I got the link off of Slate :P You're right though lol, it gets stuck in my head allll the time

  • This is soooooo funny!! ...and true! My husband even woke uo this morning singing this song. lol!!

  • hahaha lmao noooo dat is sooo true i'm always singin dis song after i hear it! i swear its sum kind of subliminal tingy! me an my frens r always singin it in skool! ^^

  • I agree...my students keep singing it and it drives me insane!

  • Dude...

    I work at Subway and the commercial drives me nuts.

    I get that song stuck in my head all the time..

  • Genius! I'm so glad I don't have a tv right now. I've seen the commercial a grand total of 3 times (including this vid.) and by now I would be going insane and driving everyone around me crazy (except my kids who'd find the singing and the the resulting conflict quite funny)! I still have some jingles from my childhood (and earlier- Brylcreem anyone?) stuck in my head sometimes. Congrats on being in Slate!

  • cute

  • Genius. Some ditties are just so infectious. I know this was made in jest, but it seems to address a real concern: advertisements leading to insanity. It was the Taco Bell chihuahua that almost drove me over the edge. Luckily time has healed that wound ... only for Subway to come along with their five dollar foot long song.

  • huh....I've been home for the past 2 weeks recooping from jaw surgery and watching more TV than I have in the past 10 years...and I still don't have the song in my head. Didn't know it was such a catching thing. It must be the after-effects of my surgery.

  • this is hilarious!

    congrats on being on Slate.

  • thanks!

  • lulz

  • hilarious. try to make money off this so you can buy a better camera.

  • trust me,Ive been looking for a new one

  • maybe this is a sign you watch too much tv

  • gratz on getting on slate...realy funny

  • thanks!

  • I find myself humming this "jingle" all the time.

    If Subway wanted to infect our heads, they succeeded.

    It never ends....over and over and over and OVER again!!

  • O.M.G. The Slate article love to boot! This is too awesome.

  • shun the non-believers! shhhhunnnnnnnnn!

  • you are a bitch because....... i skipped through the parts when you said i would die so you are an idiot

  • Yeah, and your so smart for stating your useless opinion for everyone to look at.

  • HAHAHA! You said it, but I was totally thinking it! I love Subway, and I'm taking advantage of this FIVE DOLLAR FOOTLOOOONG (damnit!) almost every day.

  • Congratulations on being featured on Slate's article about the commercial!

  • thanks!

  • I like the maranara meatball sub from subway. Lol I don't know why that matters but.... lol

  • Does this guy have 2 refrigerators in the house? 0:49 - door opens on the left. 1:03 - door opens on the right. Maybe he should pull a Jared.

  • And the crucifix is both on the left and the right side of the kitchen sink area. I'm guessing some of the video was left-right reversed for artistic reasons.

  • you are correct,sir

  • Has anyone on here been getting more subs at Subway recently? I've had this song in my head and had an intense craving for Quiznos. Their subs are better :)

  • Ive been eating at the Submarine House -a small independant sub. restaurant in Dayton,Ohio

  • Hey I know that place. It's right next to Ameristop right?

  • tha Vandalia shop is,I think

  • "five dollar footlong,GOD DAMN IT!"

    lmfao hilarious

  • Ok, I just found out through our friends at TMZ that a Japanese company, Toho, is suing Subway for the Green-Erect Monster, Godzilla.

    Toho believes the monster in the above commercial is an unauthorized copy of Godzilla, so they are suing its maker, Subway

  • Subway sucks,they must take alot of "pride" in this piece of work,it plays so much I`m thinking about not turning my TV on,maybe they need sued.

  • this song haunts my dreams, ever since i watched that subliminal commercial

  • me too! Me and my man can stop doing the $5 $5 footlong dance.

  • lol i loved this vid! it is defly my friend Andie who sings it nonstop!! and at work, which is guess where? Subway of course!!

  • guilty !!! been singing that shit all day just imagine how huge this will be when the rest of the morons realize they have been brain washed for it takes a little longer for it to sink in I see your a week smarter than myself... my wife hears me singing it and thinks im trying to piss her off, she just doesn't get it...

    yet

  • I, too, am a victim of the $5 curse. My daughter and I were singing it together with the harmonies while doing the dishes after dinner tonight. All the while, my husband was laughing, all amused at how we had nailed the harmonies - I think he also just liked hearing it over and over, too! I had to go on line to find out if I was the only one smitten by this catchy-as-hell chord progression. It sounds like something out of my youth - Strawberry Alarm Clock, "Incense & Peppermints," right?

  • LOL. yes!! dude. this is me in my apartment. such a beautiful and mysterious and hauntingly beautiful tune. Ive lost it now, there is no going back..

  • its good to know we are not alone in our misery

  • HAHAHAHAHA!hilarious!

  • I have this exact same problem... Thank you for making this video!

  • hahah great video

  • Lol...guys, I'm the actor in the Godzilla suit. Check my MySpace (/somethingclever623) for pics of me on the day of the shoot. I love hoe crazy it's making people.

  • I promised myself I wouldnt sing the song,and then it happened.Again and again...which is why I made my little story.

  • You know they have a word now to describe songs that repeated play in your mind that you cant get rid if....they are called..."EARWORMS".....

  • Five dollar! 5 dollar! Great now I have the $5curse. Damn you! You're only spreading the madness! Five dollar! 5 dollar! Happy now?

  • Okay, I "Five dollah Foot looongssss..." Dang it!!! Queen b had something to do with that I saw her purse!

  • I don't know what you are talking about! Thats his purse!

  • DUH!
