I had only the faintest memory of this commercial until just now when my friend Jarrett gave me a Christmas present.
I’d almost started to think it didn’t exist and I dreamt it that one time I had a really bad fever as a kid.
Also, for some reason I remembered it using Dust in the Wind by Kansas, but no. It is so much better than that.
Creeeeeaaammyyy whiiiiitee!!!
It got even better when I found out the frontman for Faith No More is who sings this.
The best part about this is that he doesn’t change the lyrics. He stands up there and sings about that candy bar from the 80s:
🎶
CREEEEEEEAAAAAAMMMYYYY WHIIIIIIIIIIIIITE
DREAAAAAAAAAAAAMYYYYY WHIIIIIIIIIIIIITE
🎶
I just can’t get it out of my mind. It really is a zeitgeist of the 80s in every way.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
