I just saw the new Pepsi commercial, where the Pepsi ball jumps off the can and in giant form pinballs around San Francisco. Pretty funny, really, and with a catchy tune. Where have I heard this before? "Sam bam blew moi...?" Oh yeah! The Damned had a little song, the english version had the chorus, "Jetboy, Jet Girl". Did Pepsi listen to the english version before they used the French version in the commercial? The lyrics are not exactly Pepsi Generation material.. Or maybe they are in the SF demographic?
The video wasn't up on the Pepsi website as I write this, but it may be soon. Unless they get flooded with calls from french-literate parents who tipped to it during the recent Smallville episode. Interestingly, the music in this version up on YouTube isn't the same. Different geo, different music? It is definitely different; I have it on my DVR and watched it twice. Maybe someone will post the US version.
