[EpsomWolf]

Can you hum it for us so we can have a clue what it is?

Driving me loopy this.

Gave up after 1 hour, tried again, got through after 1.15 and got cut off! Finally got sorted on 3rd call after 30 mins. God helped us.

Anyway, got so bored I Shazam-ed it:

You’re so cool (extended single version) by Hans Zimmer.

I never, ever want to hear that again.

Back when I was a kid, an advert came on the telly for Esso, I think for home fuels or parrafin or somesuch, and there was an animated cartoon character of the tanker delivery driver and he hopped out and said, "I'm your Esso Blee Dooler" but the ad was for an 'Esso Blue Dealer'. Esso Blue being the parrafin or oil or whatever.
Catchy little tune, 'I'm your Esso Blee Dooler' been singing it for hours now and my daughter giving me long hard stares...
Simple little ad, but I can't get the fucking thing out of my head!

Remember that the first time I saw them on the OGWT, thought wtf? But it does as you say turn into an earworm.
