Welcome back to “On That Note,” CycloneFanatic's weekly go-to for music-listening and discussion, co-hosted by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500.
For this segment, we explore songs with specific references to a product, brand, company, et. al. It may be part of the title or in the lyrics. If it’s lyrics-only, include the product/brand reference with your clip (optional: pinpoint the timestamp of occurrence).
Important: Generic references DO NOT COUNT (e.g., soda; car). Fictional example: Lyric referencing “grocery store” isn’t enough. Lyric referencing “Hy-Vee” — accepted!
Final note: Although it should be obvious, The following ARE NOT ACCEPTED: (1) Songs written specifically for a commercial (i.e., ad-jingles). (2) Commercials that incorporate pop songs. (OTN covered that with “Who Sells Out,” 2021)
