Description

At the end of the commercial two young women in a convertible laugh at the man's car.

Lyrics:
Well I was shopping for a new car
Which one's me
A cool convertible or an SUV
Too bad I didn't know my credit was
whack cause now I'm driving off the lot in a used subcompact
f-r-e-e that spells free
credit report dot com baby
Saw their ads on my tv
Thought about going but was too lazy
Now instead of looking fly and rolling
phat my legs are sticking to the vinyl
and my posse's getting laughed at
f-r-e-e that spells free
credit report dot com baby

Benjamin January 27, 2008 23:33

Great song, it's ashame it's an advertisement because it had a good sound going and could probably have been a hit if it wasn't about credit reports.

moe January 29, 2008 20:44

This is the funniest commercial! I learned the whole song.I laugh every time I think about it!

Beth February 11, 2008 22:59

The actor is French Canadian Eric Violette. He is so cute, I love his commercials. He did a cute one as an astronaut, for Sirius radio, too!

KT February 13, 2008 12:26

You're weird beth, i agree these awesomely hilarious commercials, but i don't obsess about the singer, or stalk him in his other commercial roles.......like some......

PEGGY February 14, 2008 10:41

lila February 17, 2008 16:04

Susan February 22, 2008 02:36

this commercial is so cute, and at least he's easy on the eyes and easy to listen to, (not like those stupid cavemen), and besides having good credit knowledge is super important to lots of things in life, even getting a job, so I hope that he's on lots more commercials and maybe even tv shows. I'd like to know how old he is, how tall, etc ?

kily February 24, 2008 09:28

wow lila im very surprised that you dont obsess about the singer or the song because i think he is so hot and i think the song has a good melody and rythem but im not a music teacher so how would i know but hey everyone has there own opinion .

TammyLynn96 February 24, 2008 20:50

He is the hottest thing since Johnny Depp!!! I also know every word to every comercial he is makimg it into a cult following of sort. Really wierd. I hope his career takes off so this is not the last we see of him.

i'm with Big Al. Who is singing & who are other guys. One in sub compact car backseat looks familiar.

KJ April 26, 2008 02:50

Does anyone know who the guitar player is in the ad? He looks like he could be a son of Brent Spiner (actor).

daniel napa707 April 27, 2008 20:37

the chords are GCDC through the whole song
lol
easy

Kelli May 04, 2008 21:43

These commercial are genius! I never thought I would see commercials I liked as much as the Sonic commercials but these may be tied. Nothing is funnier than seeing my 7 year old daughter running around the house singing F-R-E-E that spells free credit report dot com baby! When you appeal to children, you know you have done a good job with advertising!

rj May 08, 2008 13:37

i love that song

[Anonymous] May 11, 2008 10:01

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think he's actually singing it. The voice-over sounds exactly Paul of "Paul and Storm", formerly of DaVinci's Notebook. They're always writing funny commercial jingles and the Bob and Tom show plays them occasionally on the radio. He must of made some money off one from the Credit Report people.

---Unless of course I'm mistaken.

[Anonymous] May 11, 2008 16:26

Ahh never mind I'm wrong. I confirmed that its not Paul and Storm, via their website email.
