I was looking up some of my old favorite AC/DC songs from my
childhood on YouTube (I have all the records and tapes, but who has a turntable
and cassette player anymore?), and in the list along the side of the window, I
saw a video for their great song “Let’s Get It Up”, and it occurred to me that
nobody has used this song for erectile dysfunction advertising yet. (Right?) Why
not? It’s the perfect song from the perfect time period to reach guys who are
probably just beginning to have problems with erectile dysfunction for the
first time, right? And then they could have some of the band members from AC/DC
be the spokesmen, and they could say they’ll help you “Sink the Pink”. (Most of their songs are thinly veiled references to sex anyway, so they would almost all work.) I know
it sounds like a joke, but I’m serious: this would really work for this target
demographic! Boiled over cars in the desert and horses dragging trailers out of
the mud and stuff be damned: AC/DC was the party music of the current midlife-crisis
crowd, so take advantage of it, silly! (After all, what other reason would
anyone ever have to buy Viagra unless it was recommended by AC/DC?)
Here’s the song “Let’s Get It Up” (It was really big when I was in elementary
school.):
Oh, and just for good measure, here’s “Sink the Pink” as well:

BTW: When I was in college, one of my best friends told me when she was a little girl, she heard the AC/DC songs “Touch Too Much” and “Walk All Over You”, and she said: “I didn’t know what it meant, but I knew it was dirty!” (Need I say more? It’s apparently instinctive.)
And come to think of it, wouldn’t the song “Walk All Over You” be perfect for an ad for some expensive sexy women’s shoes? It just sounds so bondage-y, doesn’t it? (That’s sure to be a pop culture thing now that Fifty Shades of Grey is so huge, right?) And here’s that song:

(I could just go through AC/DC songs all night and try to apply them all to products! Like, for example, “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap” for some discount septic tank fix-it service, or “Problem Child” for some childhood hyperactive disorder drug like Adderall or Ritalin.)
