wtf? tuesday: commercial jingle

(Check out the recently redesigned twig, home of wtf? tuesdays.)
Sunday evening Rob and I were sitting on the sofa with our laptops, waiting for Grey's Anatomy to begin. The tv was on but we were tuning it out until the show started. So there we were, typing and clicking away, when the sound from the tv penetrated our focus and we both slowly looked up from our laptops, stared incredulously for a moment at the tv screen, and then simultaneously burst into laughter.
It was the commercial's jingle that had caught our attention. You know commercial jingles - upbeat catchy little tunes sung by a woman who can somehow convey through her singing voice the fact that she is smiling? Yes, this one was no different. Very upbeat, very catchy, very smiley: Smith's! Funeral Hooooome and Creeematoooriuuuuum!

Well, I know that's what *I* would look for in a funeral home (and creeematoooriuuuuum): upbeat and smiley!
Was there a dancing cartoon skeleton?
Complete with Rotty and Ashey, their mascots? ugh
There are enough people involved in the production of a commercial, from beginning to end, that there are only two possible explanations for this reaching the light of day.
(btw, thanks for the plug, as always!)
Bwahahahaha. You guys are sick. I like you. ;)
that's. just. wrong.
(OH! Please, please, please say there was a dancing cartoon skeleton... please say there was a dancing cartoon skeleton... please say there was a dancing cartoon skeleton...)
I'd totally die there.
HAH! Did they use that little BING sound effect noise that is always used for when people smile, so show just how cheery and smiley they are about something?
That would be awesome.
You Americans know how to add sparkle to anything.
What Andrea said. Geesh.
And Jessica, those commercials completely annoy the heck out of me!
Laughing with you on that one.
