I never saw this ad before. Is this a European or American ad? I know Johnny did a "You've got a lot to live" ad for Pepsi during the 1970s. I love the way it starts out: 6'6, 235 lbs. - makes Santa sound like a real badass. ("Now entering the ring for his Hell in a Cell match against Mick Foley, 6'6, 235 lbs., from the North Pole, a right jolly old elf . . . SANTA CLAUS!!!!!")
@landrykkb I know - I have the Johnny Cash "Legend" box set, and this song is on there. I had just never seen this ad before. I was commenting on how the lyrics made Santa look like a bad mofo.
@elc1960 I have the same box set myself and had only seen the ad once before this here on YouTube.I actually think the lyrics blended in well with this ad.
It amazes that, through all those years of the little girl meeting Santa, he'd never sorted his weight problem.

If only Johny sang all the swings Sinatra butchered, I would watch that film scene with guy driving thru Golden Gate and smile not puke
Oh, and fuck coke, I like pepsi more.

Well, this is definitely Johnny Cash, but did he actually sing 4 Coke? Or did someone set the song with the video?

This spot is on German Television, too.
But not with John of course but with any rap song or something (I saw this here before I saw the real one ;-) was scared of the "real one"!)-
well done, this song fits much better!
