Love2tha9s said:

WHAT! Prince did a Pepsi jingle? I don't believe it. Are you sure its P?

Yeshua4all said:

ABout Uh-huh: A blues-tinged number built around a funky bassline which Prince wrote for Ray Charles for use in a 1991 Diet Pepsi commercial. Reportedly, Prince received a cool $7 million for the slogan. The lyrics are about the virtues of a positive, spiritual frame of mind.

That's an unsubstantiated rumour. People that have researched it say that Prince did NOT write the song, in fact Prince just heard the jingle, and recorded his own song using it as the basis, just for his own enjoyment.

I tend to believe this latter view, since Prince has never claimed the song and you would have thought he would have by now.

Whatever the case I know its P singing and I don't care about anything else

I never heard it B4.

Pepsi sucks. Coke is it muthafukkas!

squirrelgrease said:

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Ummm, uh... 'cause Pepsi is made of soy?

squirrelgrease said:

stoppit!

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

I have a copy of it. He sings it with some a little back up from
some girls. "uh huh, you got the right one baby.."

metalorange said:

Now this I believe. Prince has never gone the "corporate commercial" route with his music. Think about it. He could have made a boatload of money from corporate america in the year 1999 but he chose not to.

uh huh... do we have the right one, babies?
if the song was used in Pepsi commericals for years
then why isn't the song registered through ASCAP?
the copyright info and true songwriter shall be revealed!!
who it is???

I love you guys on the org! you guys tickle me!

can we have the same discussion about ALWAYS COCA COLA that Prince wrote too?

Snap said:

ASCAP Title Code 510092625 Uh-huh {Prince}

ASCAP Title Code 570059255 You Got The Right One Baby-Diet Pepsi {Peter Cofield and Alfred Merrin}

And there's your answer!

Prince wrote that song for Pepsi, while his tour was sponsored by Coca-Cola!

....What a genius !!! He the man !!!

SexyBeautifulOne said:

Yes, but which came first? Does the lower numbered ASCAP title code mean that Prince hatched his first?

squirrelgrease said:

Seems to be alphabetical:

RepoMan said:

Thanks for the link. No date of origin though. Hmmmmm...

The REAL question is, what do you call it?

Coke, Pop or Soda?

Here in Texas, everything is called a Coke.

RodeoSchro said:

hmm perhaps pepsi-pop?

yeh tis a pretty cool song that one
uh huh

funkii said:

it doesn't which brand it is, it's all
pop to me.

RodeoSchro said:

Here in the UK, we tend to call it coke.

But I gave up drinking coke and soft fizzy drinks 5 years ago. It's full of chemicals, you know. Ever had a coke and felt thirsty again half an hour later? It's the soft drink equivalent of cigarettes and nicotine.

please allow me to set the record straight...My name is Peter Cofield
and I composed the uh huh song for diet pepsi in 1990...I wrote the tune and
collborated on the lyrics with Al Merrin who worked for the agency involved..
Prince heard the tune with Ray singing it and then decided to his own"real"
song...any ordinary google search would substantiate this ..or any inquiry to
pepsico inc...thanks Peter
