Chalk One Up For GMC

[Jack Meoff]

I just saw this commercial and thought.....are you freakin kidding? A commercial for an overpriced "Look at me mobile" and what song do they use?

https://youtu.be/JWLWLdlqFbQ

Eminence Front by The Who. A song about basically being pretentious and arrogant. Self important etc.... I nearly spewed beer through my nostrils.
Nobody in the ad department caught this?
Pete Townsend must have pissed himself laughing when he cashed that cheque.

Poetically brilliant I'd say.

 

[Master M]

Scrolling through the words below it is the perfect song, maybe Pete recommended it...
Eminence Front"
What a put on
The sun shines
And people forget
They spray flies as the speedboat glides
And people forget
Forget they're hiding
The girls smile
And people forget
The snow packs as the skier tracks
And people forget
Forget they're hiding.

Behind an eminence front
Eminence front - It's a put on.
It's Eminence front
It's Eminence front - It's a put on.
An Eminence front
Eminence front - It's a put on.
Eminence front
It's Eminence front
It's Eminence front - It's a put on.
It's a put on
It's a put on
It's a put on

Come and join the party
Dress to kill
Won't you come and join the party
Dress to kill.
Dress to kill.

The drinks flow
People forget
That big wheel spins, the hair thins
People forget
Forget they're hiding
The news slows
People forget
The shares crash, hopes are dashed
People forget
Forget they're hiding.

Behind an eminence front
An Eminence front - it's a put on
It's just an Eminence front
An Eminence front - It's a put on.
An Eminence front
An Eminence front- It's a put on.
Eminence front
It's Eminence front - It's a put on.

It's a put on
It's a put on
It's a put on
It's a put on

Come on join the party
Dress to
Come on join the party
Dress to
Come on join the party
Dress to
Come on join the party
Dress to kill
Dress yourself to kill.

LMFAO!!!!

It's a put on.....unbelievable. :happy6:


From the urban dictionary.

Eminence Front:

A song by the rock group The Who about the facade one erects, or the pose one assumes, whether from pride, arrogance, insecurity or some other motive, in order to conceal his or her identity or essential self.

I think I'll buy a Denali.

 

[Master M]

Why anything else would be simply unacceptable. Go getcha one Captain D.

 

[Jack Meoff]

I want two so I can really show up the neighbors.

 

[Aspen500]

LOL, I never put 2 and 2 together. They use that song in all the never ending, every 10 commercial break, GMC TV ads.

 

[Jack Meoff]

It amazes me that nobody in all of GM caught that.


I couldn't believe it when I saw the commercial.
