Geico's version of a song I have heard on the radio, I'll call it 'Crap Cake'.  AngryAngry

The commercial I was forced to hear and watch was more for a marathon in Vegas (?) than it was about insurance... a woman running. Did it having anything to do with my life? No, because i wasn't going to travel across country for a marathon they were sponsoring.
I am part of the target audience....and I hate it.

Holy sh*t, I thought Geico's version was bad, but damn, that original is even worse.

Sad, what passes for music nowadays.

Sad, ain't it? You could tell they worked really hard on the lyrics!
One good thing about TV-you could always turn it off

About as hard as that assclown worked on his attire, I'm guessing.

This song was awful 20 years ago..not much better now.

Few really bad 90's tunes that made it to recent ads, lot of them car ads, Target comes to mind also. This pile of crap was in car ad few years ago. No idea what "Peaches" has to do with cars

Hey I LIKE Cake..they are pretty solidly groovy. That said, if they have sold out to "Its what you do' folks that is a pretty bad sign..although I am sure Geico $ is like Disney $
I have yet to see this besmirch my shows..I am sure its coming though
