Perfectly said. This one was a banger.

I searched for it in the article's list of videos with greater than 1M views but the author failed to capture it.

This is the one I remember the best, and it’s been years since I’ve seen it. Put something in a catchy song and my brain will remember it… this is how I learned like 50-some odd digits of Pi[0]

Same here, it was one that captured the vibe of the Virgin America perfectly and the only one I actually recall watching. It was directed by Jon M Chu, who subsequently directed Crazy Rich Asians, In The Heights, Wicked, and more.

Yes! I loved that one! I was singing it afterward. ("Thank you for your attention, this robot rap is over")

I'm impressed that they were able to slip in a jab about the ridiculousness of having to tell you how to buckle a seatbelt.

I used to fly Virgin America twice a week. That song would get stuck in my head every time I checked in. I still can sing most of it.

"In the unlikely event we need to get you outside, these exits come equipped with an inflatable slide..."

I've only flown Virgin America once. In 2014. Yet here I am in 2025 posting about it on HN. The selectiveness of my memories is weird.

This immediately played in my head when I read the headline.
