The Hindi jingle for Dermi-Cool.

Picked up the virus watching the Oz/Bangladesh cricket test. Damn thing ran almost every commercial break.

The product itself seems to be sort of a talcum-like anti-itch powder. Ad starts with a guy frantically scratching his back against a pole, twitching like he's receiving some sort of fluctuating current. Then he dumps about a pound of Dermi-Cool on his shoulder, grins, and next thing you know he's throwing open his shirt in a doorway, revealing a comforting white glaze of Dermi-Cool applied evenly to his entire torso. Thus he can smile and greet the day.

Just wish they made some sort of anti-itch powder for my brain. I need to scratch this jingle. I don't even know what the words mean. And yet I cannot stop singing them.

If anyone from India knows how to make this stop, please tell me. For the love of god.
