The irking advertisement
Today morning I was on my way to work. Another happy day in my polluted city. I usually turn on the radio when I am in a traffic jam.
It goes without saying that I set the rock radio channel. All those riffs put a string on my feet. pa pa pa pa what a way to start my day! Everything is great with great music.
However, happiness is not for ever. The presenter announced a commercial break to his chipper listeners. Anyway, it shouldn't be something out of normality, just advertisements.
Suddenly, it came out that disruptive advertisement. I wish I could explain this with words. The high-pitched voice, the stupid catchphrase "WE BUY YOUR CAR, WE BUY YOUR CAR". All this in an infinite loop which might have just lasted 30 second but I felt it like ages.
In the end, I changed to the next channel. It was playing "DESPACITO". Well, it is not the eagles, but not bad.
Pd: I just remembered that I bought my car on the website of the annoying advertisement. I'm really drawn to irritating things.

The irking (more common: annoying) advertisement
Today This morning I was on my way to work. Another happy day in my polluted city. I usually turn on the radio when I am in a traffic jam.It goes without saying that I set (or put on) the rock radio channel. All those riffs put a string on my feet (or get my feet tapping). pa pa pa pa what a way to start my day! Everything is great with great music.
However, happiness is not for ever. The presenter announced a commercial break to his chipper listeners. Anyway, it shouldn't be something out of normality (or out of the ordinary), just advertisements.
Suddenly, it came out that disruptive advertisement came on. I wish I could explain this with words. The high-pitched voice, the stupid catchphrase "WE BUY YOUR CAR, WE BUY YOUR CAR". All this in an infinite loop which might have just lasted 30 seconds but I felt it felt like ages.
In the end, I changed to the next channel. It was playing "DESPACITO". Well, it is not the Eagles, but not bad.

Very good Sergio! My corrections are in red and suggestions to sound more natural in blue.
If it's any consolation, the most annoying ad in the USA for years was for "We buy any car dot-com". Same format... just kept repeating it over and over!
By the way, "today morning" is common in Indian English but not in British or American English.
