I literally lol'd at this title because dh and I have said it out loud when dd gets clingy at home. It is usually accompanied by "I love you" Said with the squeaky voice she uses.
Nothing but one of holding her makes her happy some evenings.
This is the age they start getting separation anxiety and start to make strange with people they used to be fine with. It wont last long.
Like badw0lf said, the noise helps my LO too. I will put him in a highchair and vacuum and he will snap out of it and watch. Also I find DS gets fascinated with cause and effect toys like a little piano, he does something and it makes a sound = mind blown. I also have a little sound machine that projects a picture on the ceiling and he loves that too. It helps and night and at nap time.
Piano mat, jumperoo (he hates the exersaucer), dogs to watch, and I hate to admit it but he will do floor time even better with the tv on disney jr. Clearly your tv preference is what is best for your family, but I put him on the floor mat with toys and face him away from the tv but still have it on if he looks around for me and inevitably it will catch/capture his attention. Please don't flame me PS it also helped him start realizing he could move/roll so MOTY?

How does he feel about toys with batteries? DS likes this Fisher-Price Musical Lion Walker I got from a consignment store. Either on his tummy on the Boppy or sitting up with the boppy behind him (to cushion his fall when he topples). It is on wheels so I have it pushed against the coffee table so he doesn't move it.
He also enjoys the O Ball Wobble Bobble Toy. It can really get away from him so that takes some planning ahead, though if your little is even thinking about being mobile & likes this toy, it may be good motivation.
I try to save the battery toys for when nothing else works.

We do the same thing. He's obsessed with Mickey Mouse. We primarily have it on in the morning while we are trying to get ready for work. No judging from me for having cartoons on.

DS gets cranky in the evenings and is only happy if I hold him. Of all things, classical music seems to snap him out of his funk. Such a stereotype, it's ridiculous. We bought the 'chicco goodnight moon' crib hanger and blast Mozart at him. I'm on stupid Internet Explorer in this office and can't find out how to copy the pic url so here's a weblink instead sowwy www.tesco.com/direct/chicco-goodnight-moon-blue/326-6325.prd

I am starting to worry about Brady because little man doesn't give two shits who has him as long as someone does. He went with the waiter last weekend at the restaurant. I'm not saying that I want this milestone in full force, but it would be nice for him to show some preference.

A stranger is just a friend DS hasn't met yet.
Funny story. My brother was about 3 or 4 when they were at a baseball game. My mom turned around realized he wasn't in his seat (that only took 2 seconds) and was sitting on the lap of a dude a few rows up. She collected him and asked him if he remembered the rules about strangers. Brother replied 'he isn't a stranger mom, I know his name!'

Jumparoo and the walker save my sanity. We do 25 minutes in the jumparoo in front of the TV watching MMCH every morning (I have no shame in that, she really enjoys it). The walker is good because she can look at the dogs and cat close up. I also bait the cat with treats to eat in front of her so she can watch him.

A second vote for pack n play with lots of loud bright toys. Mostly though, I run DS through a rotation schedule of fifteen min in the bouncer, fifteen in the pack n play, fifteen in the swing, etc.
