Recently, I learned that MacDonalds is now paying contemporary rap musicians a few cents every time the word MacDonalds occurs in a song of theirs on the radio. In a discussion with the Nail Dawg, I started thinking about what some of history's timeless classis would sound like if the artists in question had stooped to corporate sponsorshop in their lyrics:
The Doors meet Marlboro cigarettes"You know that it would be untrue. You know that I would be a liar. If I was to say to you, 'Girl, it couldn't get much better'. Come on, baby, light my Marlboro! Come on, baby, light my Marlboro!"
The Beatles meet name brands
"Oh, boy, what can I do? Baby's in Gucci, I'm a Versaci guy, tell me, oh, what can I do?"
Marvin Gaye meets Fox International
"I heard it on Fox News. Oh, that channel gives me peace of mind, oh yeah. Heard it on Fox News.
Deep Purple meets Cocoa-Cola
"Drink Coke, not waaater! You can't beat the feeling..."
Chuck Berry meets Jack Daniels whiskey
"Drink J.D! Drink! Drink J.D! Drink! J.D. be gooooood!"
What a shame. These songs would all sound so much better in this revised form -- also, I would gain peace of mind, knowing that even the music I listen to stimulates global consumption, and hence, "The Economy".

Ég kem fram fyrir hönd Sveinbjarnar, þar sem ég er bæði latur (og stunda því lítið nám og enga vinnu) og náttúrulaus (og stunda því enga kvenmenn).
Hann hefur hendur sínar fullar af kvenfangi og verkefnum, en myndin mun vera hans! Þessi göfugi maður á meira inni hjá mér en auma Kurt Russell mynd, en það verður víst að duga því ég er jafn nískur og ég er latur og náttúrulaus.

Marley: "I shot the sherrif! But it was only a fleshwound, yeah yeaaahh, I said I shot the sheriff, but I should have used a Remington..."
Morrison: "You try to run, try to hide, THEN I BREAK OUT THE ASTROGLIDE! THEN I BREAK OUT THE ASTROGLIDE!! YEEAAAHHHH!!!"

p.s. in case you're a puritan hermit, astroglide is a sexual lubricant commonly associated with sodomy
