pepsi Oh yes, to answer U're question, yes it was used.

Funny enough, running at the same time as this ad, Coke's theme was "Always Coca-Cola" coke, and that theme had the beat provided by Prince.

So 2 cola companies fighting it out using songs from the same artist.

Funny

Are you refering to the song that was played during the ACT II tour before the concert starts?

Is that song officialy credited to Price, or it's just a rumour?

p.d.: Probably you know but 22 seconds of "u got the right one baby - Uh Huh" can be hear in the "Rookie Of The Year" movie.

Yeah, go and listen to the "Always Coca - Cola" beat, then go and listen to Kirky J's remixes of Prince's songs on the "Purple Medley" CD single, and check the beat used on "Housequake" - Same Beat! It's Prince yo!

Well, I know for sure that he wrote the Pepsi song, I
can even remember the commercial with Ray Charles and
a bunch of kids holding their pepsi bottles and shit.

Prince received a cool $7 million for that song alone
damn. Those were the days for him. If he made that $$
right now I'm sure he wouldn't try to bleed us dry on
the npgmc but give away more stuff for free.

Anywho, his demo version is one of the greater outtakes
and it's very funky. I like the back-up girls.

OK.. You guys win.. Prince wrote the commercial song.. I'll stop
wondering why folks just can't listen and see that the chorus is
sampled.. And Prince DID NOT WRITE IT.. Period...
