Rap Songs In the Commercials
Been watching this Target commercial recently where they're advertising their backpacks for the upcoming school year with a re-lyricized (is that a word) version of Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Go Back," and it's striking me as totally surreal every time. This is even more pronounced than when I saw a car commercial using "How Soon Is Now" by the Smiths as its music.
Anyway, this got me thinking: How many OTHER sexually-motivated rap songs could be used by the various corporations to drag in more customers? Here starts the list!
- Rally's: "Me So Hungry" by Two Live Crew (The obvious first choice)
- Jell-O: "We Want Some Pudding" by Two Live Crew (anyone noticing a trend here?)
- McDonald's: "Milkshake" by Kelis (you'd only have to change a few lyrics here...)
Your input is welcome, naturally. :)

"Milkshake"--oh, no.
Which brings me to my point--have you seen "Dodgeball" yet? If not, watch to the end of the credits. What Ben Stiller does with the song is wet-your-pants funny.
As to songs, how about "Baby Got Slacks" for Old Navy?
Not so btw, thanks for the picks of your giant son--the 'roid call to the Dept. of Family Services is being mulled as we speak.
Seriously, great shots. Speaking of Guinness, you know you can cook with it. I just had a shepherd's pie with Guinness as part of the gravy--good stuff.
Yes, I've seen Dodgeball... god, that was freaking hilarious.
I'd go with "Baby Got Slacks" if Target wasn't already using for "Baby Got Back[packs]." Still, a good selection.
Oh, and Guinness is a great cooking tool. There's one pub down here that makes Guinness Irish Stew - you can guess the secret ingredient.
