If recorded playbacks will do, you have the perfect excuse to blare this sound out of millions of TVs several times a day. If it has to be a human voice, well, there's the actors in the ads and if it's catchy enough people will get it on the brain and sing it under their breath. Little things add up. For bonus points: try to get some kind of "meme" started where people sing the jingle as some kind of in-joke. | |

B. | If I remember rightly, in one well-known version just repeating Hastur's name three times under the right (wrong) conditions was enough to start trouble, and I don't think the word "Hastur" itself was supposed to be in-universe a Thing What Makes You Go Insane. So there's wriggle room. | |
