Does not that particular one drive ya nuts?  Every year, rum pa pum pum,
about a jillion times, until one is so mind-raped one cannot get the damn
tune to go away.  Every pop star has to have his or her own version of it,
perhaps because they like the notion of a performance being a gift.  But it
isn't even accurate: drums don't go rum pa pum pum, they go rat a tat tat.
Or if it's a rimshot, more like bluck a bluck bluck.  

Perhaps they were concerned with how to make that one rhyme.
