Some April Fools Day fun…
Introducing…Product X. I am going to launch it to the market using only Coldplay lyrics to sell it. The only rule, I can’t quote more than 2 verses at a time from the same song . Would you buy it?
Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And nothing else compares
Oh, nothing else compares
Such a heavenly view
You’re such a heavenly view
Now I feel my heart beating
I feel my heart underneath my skin
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh, would ever want to be king
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can’t replace
Now for control let’s do the same exercise using Tupac’s lyrics. Enter Product Y. Would you buy it?
How do you want it?
How does it feel?
Cause when I was low you was there for me
And never left me alone because you cared for me
A peaceful place where I can go,
To clear my head I’m feeling low
Institutionalized, I live my life a product made to crumble
But too hardened for a smile, we’re too crazy to be humble
I make a promise if you go with me, just let me know
I’ll have you hollering my name out before I leave
I’m a huge fan of both Coldplay and Tupac. Must admit it was hard to find Tupac lyrics that didn’t contain cursing. Product X must be something of beauty. Everything about it and in its environment gives off this vibe. Product Y something valuable, but more functional perhaps. Maybe this goes to show how much our environment influences the way we communicate. Even about things of potential beauty.
