and another reason we love prince-he NEVER sold out Never whored his music for a soft drink
Never whord his artistry for a quick buck
and often seemed destined to look at bankruptcy than to to pimp his talent
and that is RARE | |

A lot of people are probably going to tell you that he sold out with every album he made that sounded mainstream pop (Diamonds and Pearls, Rave, 3121), as they've said that multiple times in the past. "Little Red Corvette" was used in a car commercial, too. | |

An ad was made in what was to be believed to be a genuine Volkswagon TV ad, Housequake was used, but it turned out to be a very well made student project that was leaked on the internet.
U Got The Look was used for Channel 4 Tv on an ad for Ugly Betty.

This from The Vault.
Coca Cola. This was filed at the Library Of Congress on Oct 22nd 1992. It has been assumed that Prince composed a signature theme for the soft drink company, possibly as part of a deal with their sponsorship of the Act II tour of Europe, yet nothing has ever been confirmed. Close associates and band members at the time have no knowledge of Prince writing anything for Coca Cola, so this item remains something of a mystery. However, the lyrics, as filed at The Library Of Congress, clearly show that the track was intended as a commercial. "Life is exciting, oh yeah, but when you've got the real thing, it's better. Coca Cola, go get some, it's the real thing. Always Coca Cola."

Prince's recording of this track has often led to the mistaken belief that Prince wrote the jingle used in the commercials; in fact it was written by Diet Pepsi creative director Alfred Merrin and jingle writer Peter Cofield, who tried to tailor the catchphrase "the right one" to Ray Charles' delivery and consequently added "baby." Charles' backing singers The Raelettes then added "Uh-huh!" after playing around with other two-syllably alternatives, such as "doo-woo". | |

there was a print and billboard ad with the line "baby you're much too fast"
he also appeared in an ad in the evening news for the deep sea chippy, with the line "this is what it tastes like when you deep fry" | |

imo, I don't think Prince has ever sold out. Using your songs in advertisements is not selling out unless you're dead against it. The Batman soundtrack would have been a sellout, if he wasn't such a massive Batman fan. | |
