I’ve been a big fan of the Coors commercials lately (yes this in an inderect reference to a set of twins), but their latest takes the cake. Wingman is just too damn perfect.
“… but she’s towin’ an anchor, a junior investment banker. Who’s talkin’ about herself and not mcuh more. So buy her a beer, it’s the reason you’re here. Mighty wingman. “
Kills me every time. If anyone has an mpg of this commercial let me know. (I’m just not paying for an adcritic membership and that’s the only place I’ve found it.)
lyrics and Chords below
(D)
This chick’s rockin’ your bro on the dance floor.
(D9) (G)
But she’s towing an anchor.
(D9) (G)
A junior investment banker.
(Bm) (A)
Who’s talkin’ about herself and not
(F# on the2 nd fret with the B and Estring ringingout)
much more.
Oh
(G) (Dsus) (the sung melody is an F#)
So buy her a beer,
(Dsus) (A)
its the reason you’re here:
(A) (Bm)
Mighty Wingman
(Bm) (D) (A)
You’re taking one for the team,
(Bm) (A) (G)
so your buddy can live the dream:
(F#) (G) (D)
Wingmaaaaaaaaaaaan

If you call the coors 800 number they will put it on the web site. Also I have called about the fact they should have those guys do another one.

saw this one when i was at a bar….i about fell off my chair, i was laughing so hard! one of the better coors commercials, by far.

Seriously, anyone who doesn’t get a kick out of this ad lacks a sense of humor. By the way, if you guys know who actually sings in the ad fill me in. I’m sure he’s got some pretty funny other songs too.

I’m fighting with my husband over who the girl is in the commercial. I think it’s the girl from Boston Common (old sitcom from the 90’s) and the girl from the Jimmie’s Chicken Shack “Do Right” video. Can anyone help me out here?
May 15, 2003 — 9:05 pm

This is a link to download the ad. You can also just download the song at a few differnt places. The name of the band is GOLDSPOT and will be releasing a full version of the song shortly – can’t wait…

Julie – you are wrong. The chick from bostom commons was not as hot at the wingman’s chick. Sorry.

that’s hardly what I’d call an anchor, other than her running her yap!! Should have had some butched up chick with a mullet!

i thought the same thing at first, how the wingman’s girl should have been more busted… but Coors Lite would have gotten absolutely railed by the National Assocation of Ugly People, for being insensitive and such… They had to go a safer, politically correct route, cause hey, who likes investment bankers?

Jrsy Boy says:
JULIE!
I agree with you. Her name is Hedy Burress (the actress from Boston Common) but I can’t find anything definitively saying that she is the one in the commercial.
I disagree that Hedy Burress “was not as hot as the wingman’s chick.” She was a total babe on that show.
Mmmm, smart redneck chick…

actually, he’s copying another comedian named Stephen Lynch, who does one called “She Gotta Smile” – it’s been around much longer. here is a link to it.

The Wingman just needs to fill her mouth with something other than beer… then she’d be perfect!

This spot is so perfect. I’m using it in my Advertising class. There are plenty of things commendable about the song, but is there anything wrong with it…beside the banker being so hot. Any feedback is appreciated.
They have to have a second commercial like this one, it’s a must.
GO STATE!

Wingman Writer says:
Yo,
You guys are right about the “achor” being too hot, but when we cast the commercial we knew that we couldn’t make her a dog (sexist/political reasons) So we gave her an unattractive personality. Besides, it would have been too easy (BudLight) to make her a real barker. i’ve been with plenty of “hot” chicks who I would have gnawed my arm off to get away from, because they were too dumb or salty.
I’m really glad the spot is getting such positive feedback, and we’re working with Chris on the next one. Can’t tell you any more.
And as far as that Stephen Lynch post goes? I had never heard of him before these blogs, and after seeing that link I think he’s funny. But writing comedy songs has been around WAY longer than him, and the subject matter is based on my own (and a lot of other guys’) experiences in college.
Just relax and enjoy the spot. And go out and buy TWO Coors Lights. One for you and one for your Wingmaaaaaaan!

Still looking for confirmation that Hedy Burress is the girl in the beer commercial. It means a win for me in a heated debate thats been going on for a while now with The Husband. I must know this. I must win this.

The song is ‘Rock You Like A Hurricae” by The Scorpions. The version in the commercial is a remix.

This is one of the funnier beer commercials i’ve seen in a while. I picked up a guitar at a party and started strumming the tune and everybody was rockin it with me. That was awesome! Thank you Coors Light.

The “anchor” is a girl named Natalie Compagno – not Hedy Burress. I went to USC with her in the 90’s
September 19, 2003 — 7:17 pm
Jim says:
Hi,
Yeah, just to confirm, the last guy is right, it is Natalie Compagno; If you put her name in any search engine, and she’s credited as the anchor; she looks almost exactly like Hedy Burress

You people are so &%@##* LAME, I just puked myself inside out! That Wingman piece of shit is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen in my life, but it figures that Coors drinkers would be into something so weak. That homo in the commercial needs a 2 x 8 upside his gay head immediately! Maybe you should all watch the commercial BEFORE you get all fucked up on a whole can of daddy’s shitty Coors. Pussies.

Looks like ‘Destroyer of Preppie Losers’ in the comment above has never had a wingman – or more likely has never been laid.
