"I'm feelin alright"
The Boys Are Back in Town. Love Thin Lizzy, but I've heard that song enough times for this lifetime.
Kick in "Magic Carpet Ride" while you're at it. Also an overplayed abortion.
Don't forget Born to be Wild. You can't show a motorcycle without hearing that overplayed abortion of a song.
"Start Me Up"
Maybe I should have clarified "Motown music that could have been used in The Big Chill."
"Walkin' On Sunshine"
Try sitting through the mountain of ad concepts that don't make it. Or sift through all of the rules of things that you cannot show. "Why can't they do XYZ in their ad?"

I should first note that I really like shrimp. It's my go-to appetizer most of the time, and outside of a strip club buffet spread, it seems surprisingly hard to fuck up.
That having been said, I've never tried shrimp dip, and my initial reaction when I read those words juxtaposed against each other was "That sounds…
Bah, chipotle salsa doesn't even deserve to get by salsa verde in the opening round. The problem is that too many people east of the Mississippi River probably have never had really good salsa verde, so they'll blindly vote that awful chipotle stuff because Pace now makes a bottled version of it that they can buy at…
Velveeta is evil cheese-flavored C4. May it lose quickly.
I'm a born and raised Chicago girl, but a clam pizza from Pepe's would be my call for best pizza.
I live 5 minutes from Pepe's.... I've also never even heard of a steamed cheeseburger. The only thing steaming is my anger towards this list!!
