That YouTube, yet another big business, is profiting from counter-culture advocates decrying the use of Janis Joplin's counter-culture song in a counter-counter culture commercial is truly mind-blowing.
wtf??????????how could someone dare to use a legendary song to support and inspire consuming...fortunately Joplin is dead and doesnt see this rediculous shit
Why would you think Janis would be displeased about this? She WROTE A SONG about wanting a Benz, and this is just a reflection of that want. Words DO mean things, we as viewers and fans can't change the meaning of the words our heroes wrote. If you don't think the words were the meaning, you can't make an argument that YOUR interpretation is truly what she really meant!
she wrote this song as to tell us how materialistic we've become! listen to the complete version before saying anything.....the amount of money she made...she could have bought any car
I saw a photograph of Janis Joplin seating on the hood (hood being trunk in this case, but anyway) of a Porsche 911 all decorated with psychidelic flower motif etc.
Not sure whether that car was hers or not, but she liked Porsche's.
Yeah. Its even worse when you consider she had been dead for years when the commercial came out, so who ever has rights to the song basically completely disrespected the Joplin's original intent.
-@pac26 Well, DUH! They are here to SELL MB's! They certainly don't care about Janis Joplin, even if they know anything about her. You'll notice, however, that they were careful not to name or make direct reference to her. Wise choice, considering her life style. No one unfamiliar with her work will identify the "That's it -- ha, ha, ha" at the end as quite possibly her own voice.
The irony which no one here picks up is that no one cares about the message in her song, she advertised in her own song, Mercedes Benz, so she has only herself to blame for that.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Because of this commercial, I swear to everything that's holy, I will never buy a Mercedes. Btw, can someone please tell me what Mercedes biggest competitors are?
@repozycja : I disagree, with your comment, not with the advertising...respect for Janis, for an evergreen belonging to an Universal Pop/Rock Hall of Fame, for Mercedes (btw, do you know who was Mercedes in the Company's history?), for inspired advertising, for art and well done thinks...think positive, don't look for an enemy, it's about Flower Power times....I never wanted or afforded an Mercedes Benz, but I like looking at them....
i vaguely remember this commercial. i was born in 1990 so whatever you look at it i was very young so can't remeber everything BUT i will say GO England!!!!
News than 1995, I'd say that advert is from 1998. A-Class was only introduced in 1997, and the new S-Class that features at the start of the advert was only introduced in 1998.
Either the company missed the point of the song so grotequely that it's almost funny, or they just figured that people are dumb as shit and will just go "Haha! What a great song! I want a car!". Both are probably, really.
Well the fact is that you are a complete moron.. It has their name in it. Once you copyright you're companies name and trademark it. It is yours. They paid the singer to write a song for them. Just like all other companies.. "This makes me sick" Shut-Up and go drive you're BMWr
Dude, Janis wrote this song to protest the way Mercedes cars are a symbol of materialism. She wrote it to counter the way people find happiness in money and material possessions.
That you don't even know the name of the singer proves you're a moron, let alone that you assume that Mercedes-Benz paid her to write a song that CRITICIZES them. Go listen to the original--it was released in 1971.
As for viddy's comment, Janis' sister owns the rights to the song and she allowed Mercedes to use it.
i remember i first listened to that song when i was little. it was an Australian ad. i couldn't find that ad on youtube. It did have that song in the ad.
You complete and utter idiot. How dare you be so racist? This show social breakdown and the fact England has gone to the dogs. If anything it shows that Britain has no hope with racist, common losers like yourself. If anything, we should feel pity for people like you because you probably have nothing and no meaning to your sad and pathetic life.
mate - most of us are white and we hate Indians. Go and take a long walk on a short pier with concrete boots. You kinds of people don't like racism targeted towards you but you are quite happy to dish it out. England went to the dogs the minute they started letting Indians in!!!!
Son, everyone hates each other - so whats your point? Theres the reason why we hate the Pakis (not because we're racist) because of historical issues! So whats your reasons? Ahh lemme guess - no historic reasons - simply your type are racist full stop. The word "Paki" isnt a race - its a country & short for Pakistan - enough said Ive made a valid point! Youre just a twat who aint got a clue.
mramo - well said mate, showed molkoqueen up for the true racist she/he/it is.
I'm your typical white anglo saxon but have no probs with anyone because of their race/religion - everyone at face value for me.
You are quite right also that most prejudices are passed down historically - and if they are not but you still talk like molko then you might as well put your pointy white hood on.
ur a dickhead cuz u try 2 suk up 2 the white man and just like a typical indian u get dissd! cuz they c us all as brown they dnt car if ur indian or paki, by the way im a kashmiri pakistani and i owned a porsche 4rm the age of 21 and im 23 now so this whole sunny thing is old! the times pakis drove nisaan sunnys u ppl drove ford gurunadas (granadas) japanese cars are alot better than shitty fords in every way!
You're still a fucking paki - so shut the fuck up! Im glad Im not the typical asian guy with the "er...innit man, touch blood" acting like a black man! We know all you stani's have role models in life. So get on ya rickshaw & bugger off, son!
'init' what the does that mean? ive not used the word in my life! u must live in a deprived area, work a little harder stop sucking white dick and contemplating on how you are so different to other asians and get a life, buy a house in a better neighbourhood where they speak clear english,im guessing your twice my age but have not accomplished much, yes i am a typical paki if you put it like that and i am also a self made entrepreneur and proud of my roots and id be honoured to own a rickshaw!
U no very well what "innit" means Im sure youve seen Goodness Gracious Me on BBC2! Actually I realised you cant get BBC2 haha! U really think u impress me having your D.O.B. as your username?? I aint like all asians I'm better looking than most, and excel in high quality British Urban music, I dont watch films that star Steven Segal, and jean Claude Van Dam or any of those cheesy action stars from the 1990's. Too right you aint accomplished much, get a proper fucking education, Oxbridge Style!
i didnt watch that indian comedy but i am aware of it. I chose not to go to university and as a result i made alot of money! You're tryin to impress ppl by disowning your indian background amrit!i am happy for those who go to uni but that just werent for me i am business minded and if you think that one cannot accomplish anything without oxford, you are thick! speaking of tele Sir alan sugar is a multi millionaire and does not even have gcse's! Your a loser!many thanks for entertaining me
lol u twat! urban british music! lol and i go on black? does your whit girlfriend ask you to use her foundation to make you look the same colour as her? or are u that twisted thinking your white that you use her fake tan? haha oh and the queens family are all inbreeds, take some history lessons you dopy shithead before trying an adult conversation! high performance?? lol porsche! need i say more? indian man with a white trophie! typical! how r u different?
Shut up! I know what I am - so dont even think about speculating you Paki! I have the right mind to wipe my arse with your silly green & white flag. - go & shag your fucking sister & marry her off! haha - Dont be silly you really think I drive a car that typical Paki's cant afford? Porsche, BMW 318, and Mercedes, Datsun Sunny's are all Paki's dream cars! haha - For your info click on my profile & youll see what I drive. Paki's dont drive the car I own, you Allah loving shitbag
hahahah you drive a mitsubishi fto, mate my 19" carrera classic alloy wheels cost more than your car!lol i am born in britain but i am not turning my back on my routes, i don't need to dream i've got it all and yet im still happy in my skin unlike you, your name should have been amrit jackson you thick raghead! you sikhs make me laff, i met a guy called paul singh today!lol wtf! oh and the fto theres little 16yr old pakistani's (owch) that drive them without licenses!buy a ford gurugobindnada
yeh me and friday010685 are allah lovers at least we're sure about who our god is, are you sure u know who ur's is cuz u lot have a god for everyday of the year, u cant make ur mind up can ya just like the way you lot are so lazy to stick to one god u see an animal and call it god HAHAHAHAHA
face it youre both the same people you sad bastard! haha - go & shag yourself (in that I refer to friday010685). It wasnt hard to determine u are the same people. Your ip addresses match for once. Its a good thing I have your ip address because I can do so much damage with that (i.e. hack your yahoo account details and your Chip & Pin card details - oh yeah I forgot Pakistan dont use Chip & Pin).
hahahahahaha ur so funny and ur think ur so clever i forgot indians are crafty fuckers that'll fuck anyone up even those so close to them....by the way me and frida010685 aint sad and we aint the same people we're actually real tight friends, something that you dont have with your so called white friends
lol so you've traced the ip address to pakistan?lol hahah ur full of shit just like ur mitsubishi, its not the same i.p address because shes a mate of mine and we're not at the same place! so you can carry on pretending to know how to hack computers! i take it you've changed your occupation to an i.t expert now, scitsophrenic fucker! go shag fillipahoe
Pakis like you cant afford Mitsubishi either! HAHA - Only Datsuns & Bluebirds are right up your alley. Why on earth would I want to withdraw something that doesnt exist in your dirty country? I hear you only accept Pakistani Rupees! haha- 139 Rupees will get you a bottle of Coke Zero! You really think IT would give me stimulation in a market the Pakis are already tapping into 8 years too late?! Why on earth would I shag a Fillipino (learn to spell properly twat) when Im with a fit white g/f.
i didn't say filipino, if you had a high i.q you would read fillipaho and it would be "fill up a hoe" as in a blow up g/f duh!!!! where did u meet her at the race tracks?lol do ur mates stop at yours in christmas? your area looks crap use your fukin education to get a job, we did actually have a bluebird when i was 8 yrs old, was a gr8 car, i've always had the best i had a merc c220cdi when i was 18! ur not on my level, and as for us "suleh" the arabs are the wealthiest in the world!
Dont you mean Whore? Your english is fucking pathetic. You put your fucking country to shame using Americanised wordings! You dont live in America so stop acting like a fucking American! haha - you seem to be so proud of what you got. Owning a Nissan Bluebird is nothing to be proud of! haha - Son, listen to the master, I dare not stoop to your low level. Im proud of being in the highest level possible. And thats living in a nice clean house, stunning car, highly paid job, a great white g/f! CUNT
lol sorry for calling your girlfriend a hoe instead of a whore! o well atleast u know what she is. i didnt own a nissan bluebird i was 8 when my bro had one, i own a porsche u prick! how can you even say that u are on my level or higher? you work with urban music and you call that a good job? you're area looks deprived!
Who the fuck needs morals because Im proud of living my life as a non-muslim like you, you fucking Paki! My girlfriend's cunt smells 200 times sweeter than all the Pakistani smelly cunts that I would never dare to get my cock touching! Son, I have an advice to you. Dont immigrate to a Western Country if you cant hack our morals! Stay in your smelly pan & cry for ex-President Musharraf - haha!!!
you are a propa dirty bastard!hahaha well im sure you love the smell of all the cocks that have been in her too. i'm not an immigrant, i am a british born muslim that originates from pakistan. I'm not in denial the way you are. and as for morals its funny you say 'our' english people from descent backgrounds with a good upbringing have alot more morals than you, you're just a lost cause u turd! i'm not interested in pakistan politics or anything i'm just proud of who i am unlike you!
Youre a fucking "British Paki"! Go home 2Ramadamland you dirty cunt. Im glad I aint a fucking Pakistani Muslim - because statistics show that British Pakistanis can only get far as securing jobs as Call Centre Analysts & IT Assistants. Pakis are rodents who all want to be like Salman Khan! haha. Youll neva get jobs like Indians e.g. Doctors, Barristers & Surgeons. Look carefully at yaself u fucking wog. Fact Im much lighter toned than you'll ever be. Again let me 'spit' proudly on ya Paki flag!
first things first u hairy shit, we're alot better looking than indians we dont have pinocchio's nose, we got a clean and fairer skin complexion rather than u sleezy greasy indians, as for jobs theres about 10 paki solicitors in my area, 3 doctors, loads of accountants! my mate owns marksman tools and is a multimillionaire, statistics are only based on an estimate, you indians usually all wanna be drum players and you end up selling cinema tickets and cleaning toilets!
By making this commercial using this song, they completely contradicted what this song is really about. Thus, proving Janis' point.

This commercial is not from 1995. It has the M-Class in it, that wasn't released until 1998.

Imagine if they made a Pakistani version of this advert? It'll go:
-Oh Allah - wont you buy me, a Nissan Sunny!!
-My white friends drive Porsche cos Im a dirty, Paki!
-Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from BehBeh Ji
-Oh lorrddd wont you buy me, a Nissann Sunnyyy!

You complete and utter idiot. How dare you be so racist? This show social breakdown and the fact England has gone to the dogs. If anything it shows that Britain has no hope with racist, common losers like yourself. If anything, we should feel pity for people like you because you probably have nothing and no meaning to your sad and pathetic life.

mate - im Indian - we hate the Pakis!
mramo 3 years ago
mate - most of us are white and we hate Indians. Go and take a long walk on a short pier with concrete boots. You kinds of people don't like racism targeted towards you but you are quite happy to dish it out. England went to the dogs the minute they started letting Indians in!!!!

Son, everyone hates each other - so whats your point? Theres the reason why we hate the Pakis (not because we're racist) because of historical issues! So whats your reasons? Ahh lemme guess - no historic reasons - simply your type are racist full stop. The word "Paki" isnt a race - its a country & short for Pakistan - enough said Ive made a valid point! Youre just a twat who aint got a clue.
mramo 3 years ago
mramo - well said mate, showed molkoqueen up for the true racist she/he/it is.
I'm your typical white anglo saxon but have no probs with anyone because of their race/religion - everyone at face value for me.
You are quite right also that most prejudices are passed down historically - and if they are not but you still talk like molko then you might as well put your pointy white hood on.

I aint like all asians I'm better looking than most, and excel in high quality British Urban music, I dont watch films that star Steven Segal, and jean Claude Van Dam or any of those cheesy action stars from the 1990's. Too right you aint accomplished much, get a proper fucking education, Oxbridge Style!

You're tryin to impress ppl by disowning your indian background amrit!i am happy for those who go to uni but that just werent for me i am business minded and if you think that one cannot accomplish anything without oxford, you are thick! speaking of tele Sir alan sugar is a multi millionaire and does not even have gcse's!

eloquentia85 3 years ago
face it youre both the same people you sad bastard! haha - go & shag yourself (in that I refer to friday010685). It wasnt hard to determine u are the same people. Your ip addresses match for once. Its a good thing I have your ip address because I can do so much damage with that (i.e. hack your yahoo account details and your Chip & Pin card details - oh yeah I forgot Pakistan dont use Chip & Pin).
mramo 3 years ago
hahahahahaha ur so funny and ur think ur so clever i forgot indians are crafty fuckers that'll fuck anyone up even those so close to them....by the way me and frida010685 aint sad and we aint the same people we're actually real tight friends, something that you dont have with your so called white friends
eloquentia85 3 years ago
lol so you've traced the ip address to pakistan?lol hahah ur full of shit just like ur mitsubishi, its not the same i.p address because shes a mate of mine and we're not at the same place! so you can carry on pretending to know how to hack computers! i take it you've changed your occupation to an i.t expert now, scitsophrenic fucker! go shag fillipahoe
friday010685 3 years ago
Pakis like you cant afford Mitsubishi either! HAHA - Only Datsuns & Bluebirds are right up your alley. Why on earth would I want to withdraw something that doesnt exist in your dirty country? I hear you only accept Pakistani Rupees! haha- 139 Rupees will get you a bottle of Coke Zero! You really think IT would give me stimulation in a market the Pakis are already tapping into 8 years too late?! Why on earth would I shag a Fillipino (learn to spell properly twat) when Im with a fit white g/f.
mramo 3 years ago
i didn't say filipino, if you had a high i.q you would read fillipaho and it would be "fill up a hoe" as in a blow up g/f duh!!!! where did u meet her at the race tracks?lol do ur mates stop at yours in christmas? your area looks crap use your fukin education to get a job, we did actually have a bluebird when i was 8 yrs old, was a gr8 car, i've always had the best i had a merc c220cdi when i was 18! ur not on my level, and as for us "suleh" the arabs are the wealthiest in the world!
friday010685 3 years ago
Dont you mean Whore? Your english is fucking pathetic. You put your fucking country to shame using Americanised wordings! You dont live in America so stop acting like a fucking American! haha - you seem to be so proud of what you got. Owning a Nissan Bluebird is nothing to be proud of! haha - Son, listen to the master, I dare not stoop to your low level. Im proud of being in the highest level possible. And thats living in a nice clean house, stunning car, highly paid job, a great white g/f! CUNT
mramo 3 years ago
lol sorry for calling your girlfriend a hoe instead of a whore! o well atleast u know what she is. i didnt own a nissan bluebird i was 8 when my bro had one, i own a porsche u prick! how can you even say that u are on my level or higher? you work with urban music and you call that a good job? you're area looks deprived!
friday010685 3 years ago
i dont want to know about your gf's cunt, im sure all your mates already do but come on man i know you got no morals but have some modesty!
friday010685 3 years ago
Who the fuck needs morals because Im proud of living my life as a non-muslim like you, you fucking Paki! My girlfriend's cunt smells 200 times sweeter than all the Pakistani smelly cunts that I would never dare to get my cock touching! Son, I have an advice to you. Dont immigrate to a Western Country if you cant hack our morals! Stay in your smelly pan & cry for ex-President Musharraf - haha!!!
mramo 3 years ago
you are a propa dirty bastard!hahaha well im sure you love the smell of all the cocks that have been in her too. i'm not an immigrant, i am a british born muslim that originates from pakistan. I'm not in denial the way you are. and as for morals its funny you say 'our' english people from descent backgrounds with a good upbringing have alot more morals than you, you're just a lost cause u turd! i'm not interested in pakistan politics or anything i'm just proud of who i am unlike you!
friday010685 3 years ago
Youre a fucking "British Paki"! Go home 2Ramadamland you dirty cunt. Im glad I aint a fucking Pakistani Muslim - because statistics show that British Pakistanis can only get far as securing jobs as Call Centre Analysts & IT Assistants. Pakis are rodents who all want to be like Salman Khan! haha. Youll neva get jobs like Indians e.g. Doctors, Barristers & Surgeons. Look carefully at yaself u fucking wog. Fact Im much lighter toned than you'll ever be. Again let me 'spit' proudly on ya Paki flag!
mramo 3 years ago
first things first u hairy shit, we're alot better looking than indians we dont have pinocchio's nose, we got a clean and fairer skin complexion rather than u sleezy greasy indians, as for jobs theres about 10 paki solicitors in my area, 3 doctors, loads of accountants! my mate owns marksman tools and is a multimillionaire, statistics are only based on an estimate, you indians usually all wanna be drum players and you end up selling cinema tickets and cleaning toilets!
