I'D LIKE TO TEACH
THE WORLD TO SING
Am I the only one bothered by Coke getting into the music business?
I feel like one of those anal kids at the Thanksgiving dinner table who doesn't like the portions of food on his plate to come in contact with each other. Having Coke sell music isn't unlike other non-musical brands doing the same, I guess. Starbucks sells the music it plays in its stores. Apple is now selling music, but that's because they have the iPod.
For some reason this just feels... weird.
And I won't even go into the naming of the site. What, they couldn't lock down the "MusicToCokeMyselfUpBy.com" domain?
That reminds me of a conversation had earlier in this very household:
Me: Every time I drink coke, I get all puffy and retain water.
Husband: You're supposed to SNORT it. Geeeszh.
God, I love him!
My brother's been in the CokeMusic thing for years... he burps the William Tell Overture when he drinks it. It's strangely danceable.
