Media Don’t Need Nothin’ but a Pixel
posted by on October 22 at 11:34 AM
Xbox is airing a commercial that features the Poison song, “Nothin’ but a Good Time.” In the commercial, the song is sung by a children’s choir. The ad has Xboxes being set up guerrilla style in random places. There’s a helicopter drop-shipping makeshift living rooms with an Xbox in the middle of a city, and people must play.
There’s a frenzied feel to it, and in the background, the children’s choir sings, “Don’t need nothin’, but a good time. And it don’t get better than this.”
Upon closer review, I have come to the conclusion that the “good time” the children are singing about is different than Poison’s “good time.” Poison’s Brett Michaels sings:
I can’t pay my rent. I can barely make it through the week. Saturday night I’d like to make my girl but right now I can’t make ends meet.Don’t need nothin’ but a good time, how can I resist? Ain’t lookin’ for nothin’ but a good time and it don’t get better than this.
They say I spend my money on women and wine, but I couldn’t tell you where I spent last night. I’m really sorry about the shape I’m in. I just like my fun every now and then.
Get me a Halo 3, right now. I need to game. Let us alter:
They say I spend my money on joysticks and games, I spent last night in front of the TV again. I’m really sorry about the shape I’m in.
Don’t need nothin’ but a flatscreen, my women are made of pixels and I drink Mountain Dew, it don’t get better than this.
I always had a crush on Bugs Bunny's girlfriend. I can't remember her name. The femail Bugs Bunny. Whatever her name was. She was hot. I am sick.
DD, that was just Bugs dressed up as a female bunny!
DD, it's ok. Come out of the cartoon closet. We'll still love you. Yosemite Samantha awaits.
I thought that was a pretty strange ad myself. I wouldn't say it's effective branding. But look at us talking about it now.
I watched every second of Brett Michael's reality show. There were girls barfing at the dinner table and cat fights galore.
Awesome picture by the way. Atari 2600 still beats them all.
Children sing anything and make it alright. Like shitty Poison songs. I beieve the children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way.
Brett Michaels had a reality show?
Given the distortion of most realities, dirty bombs, crimes against the state....crimes against music seem mild. Wait till we hear what they'll have the children sing during the election that will require young men in matching shirts to police. Of course, if the Xbox just keeps enough of us defocused..nothing to worry about.

How high was Ricki Rockett when he chose that to be his rock name?
babs bunny was insanely hot
#1, i'm with you on babs bunny. i also thought the bitches from the jetsons were pretty fine in my formative years. both the mother and daughter. and betty rubble wasn't too shabby either.
does anyone know who sings the cover of this song on the commercial?
i'm pretty certain the song in the commercial is "I'm into something good" by the Langley School Choir from 1977.
I no longer have the disc so i can't confirm it but they an album of covers and that was one of them.
