Anybody think of songs that have product placements in them?:) I have a few.

1. Tina Turner-Private Dancer. Lyric: "American Express will do nicely for you."

2. Blondie-Rapture. Lyric: Mercuries and Saburus(and maybe Lincolns)."

3. Golddigger-Kanye West and Jamie Foxx. Lyric: "Should have gotten Geico insured for your money."

In 1970, The Kinks had to change their lyric in the song "Lola" from Coca-Cola
to "cherry cola", due to trademark infringement.
