Quick Quack Car Wash Salvages Snappy Jingle from $100K Accident
So here’s an interesting question for y’all business-minded folk out there: what do you do when a 94-year-old man in an Oldsmobile (heh) mistakes the accelerator for the brake, goes hurtling through your carwash at speeds of about 40 miles per hour, and winds up doing about $100,000 worth of damage to your business?
The correct answer: take the closed circuit footage of the incident, overlay it with a snappy jingle, and monetize that thing.
After the aforementioned incident occurred at a Quick Quack Car Wash in Sacramento, California, on January 9th, it was determined by someone very smart that video of the incident would make for a great bit of advertising. And so they turned it into a commercial:
For your pleasure, here are the complete lyrics:
Going to Quick Quack Car Wash
Get my car washed
Make it Quick Quack
Pretty, shiny, sexy, just because I wanna
Don’t drive dirty
Wanna give my car suds
At the Quick Quack Car Wash
It’s the Quick Quack quickest and the cleanest by far
We’re talking three skinny minutes
Sit right in your car
Watch one-hundred-plus feet of brushes
Brushing right thar(?)
At the Quick Quack Car Wash
Any Honda, Mazda, Ford, or Chevy
Saab or Cadillac
Quick Quack’ll spruce it up
*crackling noise*
Just like that
You’ll be happy
Looking snappy
You’ll be glad you was at
The Quick Quack Car Wash
Get on the web and go to
And see where
You got your closest Quick Quack
In the Sacramento area
Get in your car
Get in your truck
Get on the road and come and visit the duck
*fine print talk and sales specials as the camera zooms in on the Oldsmobile careening into a retaining fence*
Quick Quack Car Wash
(Quick Quack)
It’s like the worst best slam poetry you’ve ever read.
Can’t get enough? Well, good, because you can also buy the song—“Don’t Drive Dirty”—on iTunes. Seriously. Hopefully that old dude gets a cut of the profit.
