Experian-owned freecreditreport.com has developed a loyal following with the Middle School crowd. At least if my kids are any indication. They love the kitschy songs performed by the slacker twentysomethings and can sing all three of them on cue. (Okay, so maybe my kids watch too much TV.)
Well, let’s see how the forthcoming new spots featuring Ed McMahon rapping are received once they begin appearing online in a couple weeks.
Yep, you read that right.
The 85-year-old former Johnny Carson sidekick will appear wearing a tracksuit, being chauffeured around L.A. in an Escalade and flaunting more bling than any member of the AARP should be allowed to.
"When I retired, I was famous," McMahon raps. "I had money and glory/I bought a house for 6 mill/I thought nothing could touch me/Until my credit went south, and debt started to crunch me/Next thing I know, instead of playing gin rummy, I was scrambling just to make ends meet/It wasn't funny."
Sadly the lyrics are true. But until the spots begin making their way around the Web, the jury remains out on whether the spots are funny. Or just a pitiful comment on our economic times.
