1. Hyundai - Salt 'n Pepa "Push It"
Coolin' by day then at night working up a sweat
C'mon girls, let's go show the guys that we know
How to become number one in a hot body show
Now push it
Ah, push it - push it good
Ah, push it - push it real good"
OK, maybe they are saying you will have to push the car. Push it real good!
2. Wendy's - Violent Femme's "Blister In The Sun"
Let me go on... like I blister in the sunLet me go on... big hands, I know you're the one"
This is exactly what I want to hear when watching a car commercial:
"There's a club, if you'd like to go You could meet somebody who really loves you
Mmm.. Wendy's. Is that really mayo you're using?
3. Nissan - The Smiths "How Soon Is Now"
So you go, and you stand on your ownAnd you leave on your own
And you go home
And you cry
And you want to die"
Yeah, it's an old commercial but still not a good song choice. Brown Sugar is not a literal song, Pepsi! It's about selling slaves and having sex with a young girl:
"Brown sugar how come you taste so good, now?
Brown sugar just like a young girl should, now
Ah, get along, brown sugar how come you taste so good, baby?
Ah, got me feelin' now, brown sugar just like a black girl should"
Wow Pepsi, just wow. What were you thinking?
5. Royal Caribbean - Iggy Pop "Lust For Life"
Everything about this song for this commercial is just wrong. You be the judge:
"Here comes Johnny Yen again With the liquor and drugs
And the flesh machine
He's gonna do another strip tease.
Hey man, where'd ya get that lotion?"
And you go home
And you cry
And you want to die"
What the fuck does this song have to do with a car commercial?! Tell me, Nissan, please?
4. Pepsi - Rolling Stones "Brown Sugar"
Brown sugar just like a young girl should, now
Ah, get along, brown sugar how come you taste so good, baby?
Ah, got me feelin' now, brown sugar just like a black girl should"
And the flesh machine
He's gonna do another strip tease.
Hey man, where'd ya get that lotion?"
I don't even need to quote more of the song. I'm pretty sure you see the problem here.
O.o OMG, I'm so glad someone has pointed this out. You should do PSAs! :)
