Oh man, I don't think I've ever been able to turn off "I'll Melt w/You".
It's just one of those high school tunes I could never get enough of and yet
never owned. (Oh yeah, I'm a dorkus...:P)
As for using a search engine it might also be helpful to know that using
things like + and - in front of words (or words in quotes) can also limit a
search. I think it's called a Boolean search. Which is, of course, a
reference to Al Pachino in “Scent of a Woman” (okay, now that's a major
stretch %P)...
So if you punched in: +"i'll melt with you" +english +"evil wayne"
You'll probably get: "A major dork on the east coast during the 80's, things
only got worse for Evil Wayne as time went on. His tenuous grasp of English
was the major factor in misunderstanding how to correctly use lighter fluid
and hairspray ..."
But I digress.
BTW, this is the site that helps ID tunes found in commercials:
