Minneapolis Musical Fans Line Up For “Toyota! The Runaway Musical Hit!”

Of unlikely pop-music pairings that, against all odds, worked, a short list would include Eminem’s duet with Elton John at the 2001 Grammy Awards, Eddie Van Halen’s arpeggio acrobatics on Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” and A.M. radio stalwarts REO Speedwagon’s musical contribution to Toyota’s public relations crisis:


And I can’t stop this Prius anymore. I forgotten what I started stopping for. I got the brake pressed clear down to the floor. [Who just came through the back door?] Baby I can’t stop this Prius anymore.

In truth, the “Can’t Fight This Feeling” hit-makers did not authorize the verse, nor did Toyota approve the product placement, but such formalities have not prevented “Toyota! The Runaway Musical Hit!” from becoming a hot ticket in Minneapolis.

It would be funny if no one died from Toyota, so to see them make fun of this is tasteless.

now that most people are aware of just how grossly OVERBLOWN the likelihood of deaths "due to" toyota (vs. suppliers') blowing it, jabs at toyota may become like Reefer Madness.
