1981年MTVで初めて放送されたラップビデオ。
1980年、スバル車はアメリカでほとんど見かけませんでしたが
語呂が良かったのでしょうか。
Fab Five Freddie told me everybody's fly
DJ's spinning I said my, my
Flash is fast, Flash is cool
Francois sais pas, Flashe no deux
And you don't stop, sure shot
Go out to the parking lot
And you get in your car and you drive real far
And you drive all night and then you see a light
And it comes right down and lands on the ground
And out comes a man from Mars
And you try to run but he's got a gun
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head
And then you're in the man from Mars
You go out at night, eatin' cars
You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too
Mercuries and Subarus
And you don't stop, you keep on eatin' cars
Then, when there's no more cars
You go out at night and eat up bars where the people meet
Face to face, dance cheek to cheek
One to one, man to man
Dance toe to toe
Don't move too slow, 'cause the man from Mars
Is through with cars, he's eatin' bars
Yeah, wall to wall, door to door, hall to hall
He's gonna eat 'em all
Rapture, be pure
Take a tour, through the sewer
Don't strain your brain, paint a train
You'll be singin' in the rain
I said don't stop, do punk rock
Well now you see what you wanna be
Just have your party on TV
'Cause the man from Mars won't eat up bars when the TV's on
And now he's gone back up to space
Where he won't have a hassle with the human race
And you hip-hop, and you don't stop
Just blast off, sure shot
'Cause the man from Mars stopped eatin' cars and eatin' bars
And now he only eats guitars, get up!
Blondieの曲は最近ではトヨタのCMで使用されました。
スバルのことを歌ったのに、トヨタのCMで使っていいのでしょうか。
いいんです。
なぜならスバルはもはやトヨタの子会社だからです（悲）
佐藤健は三菱の軽自動車のＣＭに出てたのに
Gazooでイメチェンですか。。。
こちらはSheryl Crowのデビュー曲
ニッサンのことを歌ってます。
Datsunはニッサンのことですからね。
They drive their shiny Datsuns and Buicks
Back to the phone company, the record store too
Well, they're nothing like Billy and me, cause
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling I'm not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard
この後、ニッサンが
Sheryl Crowの曲を使ったのも当然かと思いましたね。
BEE JEESの曲にホンダが入っていたかはわかりませんが、、、
ジョージ・クルーニーは
とある映画（オーシャンズ１１だったかな？）で
「now be careful, this is not a honda」
とか言ってhondaを安物扱いしてました。
そんなジョージ・クルーニーがホンダのCMに出て
「いい車が好きだ。」とか違和感を感じたな～。
まぁ、まったく関係ないかもしれませんけどね（笑）
なお、批判等は受け付けておりません(・・；)
なにせ、ガラスのハートの持ち主なので（爆）
