New Coke Commercial: Lime in the Coke You Nut

[maxdrive]

who else has seen this new coke comercial with the lime in the coconut song. They changed the lyrics to:

You put the lime in the coke you nut and you drink them both together

You put the lime in the coke you nut and you drink them both up

I saw it, and it got old quick... some songs just seem best performed by the Muppets themselves.

Its not even origanaly a Muppet song!

 

[Beauregard]

Hmm. I wonder if we finally have figured out the drug reference here. Coke.

 

[FISH'N'WOLFE]

Well, Coca-Cola did in fact have cocaine in it when it first was created, hence the name.

 

[Beauregard]

Really? I had no idea. I did, however, hear that it was originally a medicane for indigestion...

 

[FISH'N'WOLFE]

Yep. I was looking up the history of Coke and it looks like it was created simply for drinking. However, Pepsi-Cola was created as an indigestion medicine, exhaustion reliever, etc. The history of the two companies is really quite interesting.

Its not even origanaly a Muppet song!

I know that, Wembley. I'm just saying I like it best performed by the Muppets.

I have a tape (forget the name of it, Kermit and Piggy are in a fancy resturaunt remembering old Muppet Show sketches) and i used to watch the "Lime In The Coconut" sketch over and over and over. Whenever i hear it now, all i can think about is the hospital room slowly becoming a jungle.

Classic sketch (in my eyes, anyway). Love the doctor muppet in that scene too. "Now let me get this straight!..."

 

[Frogster]

That's called The Kermit And Piggy Story... that's where I've heard the song sung first.
