Mothers Against Drunken Sailors

I definitely just saw a TV ad for a car dealership. Fine.

Except I swear, the score for the ad was an instrumental version of “What Shall We Do With a Drunken Sailor?”

I guess what they would have us do with a drunken sailor is put him in a brand new car…earlye in the morning.

As a proud member of Mothers Against Drunk Sailors, Drivers Against Sober Sailing, Sailors Against Drunk Mothering, and Drinkers Against Drunk Drinking, I have to call shenanigans.

Put him in the bilge with the captain's daughter!

Way-hey up she rises, way-hey up she rises, way-hey up she rises, ear-lie in the morning!

I hate that commercial! Did they think nobody would know what that song was?

I saw the ad again tonight. At the time I blogged about it, I couldn't remember what kind of car the ad was for. It is Toyota. Toyota is the maker that is scoring their ads with songs about drunken sailors. Toyota.
