Marina Anfetamina

November 10th, 2007

Remember yesterday, when I was lamenting the changes to the Bonds underwear commercial? They replaced the original Bonde do Role song Marina Gasolina with a lyric-free remix, and it has turned my little world upside down. It doesn’t take much, I know.

Today I searched for a translation of the lyrics to see if there might have been an issue with them, and it turns out there is a reference to amphetamines. The translation was incomplete, but that’s probably all that was needed to get it off the air.

Is there a proven link between references to drugs in foreign languages, and drug experimentation in viewers? I doubt it.

Lame. You should watch this instead:

    Hey I was googling this song today and I got your blog. Didn’t know if you’d be interested to know the rest of the translation, but here it is:
    “Meet me after school
    And I’ll beat you like a gorilla
    Bite you like a whore
    Come and play with my pussy.”

    Probably got canned due to the last line, but I’m sure the amphetamine reference didn’t help.
