Yet another list thread: "Kodachrome", "Harley Davidson", "Mercedes-Benz", etc. Bonus points for anything that's NOT a car.

"Que m'importe de mourir En Harley Davidson"

I remember hearing a track on John "Normal" Peel's show called "Electrolux", the chorus of which went "Nothing sucks like electrolux." There were no other lyrics actually. Don't know who did it.

"Holiday Inn" by Stereo Total ! Do I win a prize ?

Gang of Four - Armalite Rifle? (Well Armalite is a company I think?)

― Alan Trewartha, Tuesday, 16 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ned beat me to my first thought.

How about "Hoover Factory" by Elvis 'Rock' Costello then.

"In The City" by Madness was written to plug a Japanese model of a (Honda?) car.

Two different bands have had tracks called "Happy Shopper" (cheaper- than-cheap UK shop-branded goods) and of course "Teen Spirit" is a brand of body-spray isn't it? Tad had "Jack Pepsi" didn't they?

Hasn't anybody done "Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific!"?

Lots of motor vehicles. "1952 Vincent Black Lightning" and "MGB GT" by Richard Thompson, your "Little Honda", "Little GTO", ad nauseum.

― Colin Meeder, Wednesday, 17 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Tom, I'm not certain but I think the "Electrolux" track on Peel in the mid-80s was by Tools You Can Trust. Clatter-rock at it's - erm - weediest.
