Horrible Songs Turned Horrible Commercials

The first is an oldie, but a goodie. It's a classic take on the timeless song "Unbelievable" from prolific and under-rated sonic Architects, EMF. What product would fit best for such an upbeat song about a girl worthy of a song? CHEESE CRUMBLES, OF COURSE! Because "Crumbelievable" sounds just like "Unbelievable". There isn't a clash of sound there at all. Not one bit. Also, when the phrase, "Crumbelievable" hits your ear-drums, it doesn't make you want to laugh in Kraft's Marketing department, at all. Not one bit. My favorite part though, is the added rip-off of Michael Buffer's voice that says, "LET'S GET READY TO CRUMBLE!". With what? With laughter at this commercial? Ok, enough talk. BATHE IN IT'S GLORY:



The best is for last: Gloria Estefan blessed the World with "Turn the Beat Around" and as far as I was concerned, Skating Rinks across the World were set for life. No improvements could be made or even needed to be made. That is until I came across what could be the greatest Commercial Rip-Off of any song in the history of the Universe: Turn the Tub Around. It has its own Official Music Video and I am bringing it to you now, in its entirety. Notice how creepy everything about this advertisement is, from the creepy store worker who instantly turned into a gay dancer / Justin Beiber impersonator, to the horrible piston-like dancing the woman does, herself once she is convinced of the fake butter's powers. The chorus to this "song" is so bad I am almost positive they use it as a torture song at Guantanamo Bay. So, without further ado, prepare to either laugh your ass off or run in horror.
