I have the MLB package for DirecTV and normally you get the opportunity to watch whichever team’s broadcast that you want during a given game. For example, the Tigers were playing the Blue Jays last week, so I tuned into the FOXSports Detroit broadcast of the game.
During the broadcast, FOXSports Detroit must have played this one commercial at least nine or 10 times. After about the fifth time, I started searching for it on YouTube because it was one of the corniest commercials I had ever seen I had to share it with those outside of Motown.
Well, it took a buddy of mine (thanks Drew) to finally find it for me, but he did and now for your viewing pleasure I give you: “April in the D!”
Now you might be saying to yourself, “That wasn’t that bad” or “I’ve seen worse” and I admit, it’s somewhat catchy. But re-watch it about nine more times and then tell me what you think. Watch it nine more times and tell me you don’t want to punch that lead singer with the Pistons jersey and no undershirt on right in throat. Watch it about nine more times and tell me those lyrics aren’t some of the worst you’ve ever heard.
Apparently these guys won some contest and that’s why they were given the opportunity to shoot this commercial. I’d hate to hear what the losers’ songs sounded like…
