We’ve spoken of our love of local commercials before: as always, they are the home of the bizarre and the charming.
This is a locally broadcast commercial for Glass Pro, a San Francisco-based glass repair company, banking on the tag-line “What Grandma says, Grandma does.”
“What if a cop pulls him over?”
“No dude, that doesn’t make sense!”
“…what if it was a grandma cop”
We found a three-part musical odyssey on good ol’ YouTube today. Luckily, it’s Steve Winwood-free, and it was commissioned by car dealership owner Cecil Myers.
His voice is tuneless, yet somehow totally endearing in its flatness, like Lou Reed, except Cecil’s selling you Mitsubishis at a reasonable price.
The first installment is a relatively cutesy uke track, complete with a lady on a boat.
If you think you had Cecil pegged, THINK AGAIN. Homeboy then proceeds to bring it down home and down with the homies, as it were:
As for the rap, it threatens the “Wet Pets” rap previously posted on our blog as the most innovative fusion of rap music and local basic cable television commercials.
I don’t know if this was a pitch for Cecil to “reach the kids” from a local video company, or music is just in his heart, albeit music that’s more or less never in tune.
