Until that minivan ad (I think it was a minivan they were selling) (update: yes, it was) I have no recollection whatsoever of having heard Ozzy Osbourne singing “Crazy Train.” And yet the “ay, ay, ay” bit in the ad was definitely familiar. I’ve since listened to the song itself twice on Youtube, weeks apart. I can now hear the rhythm guitar in my head very clearly and even hear the vocals about as clearly as Ozzy speaks these days. I can only conclude that I did hear the song many times before that commercial. Maybe while riding an elevator somewhere.
