By special request here is an especially annoying commercial for Carolina Ford. There are a few cuts of this spot but they all use the same music track. The track is kind of extremely really somewhat very annoying. This song poisons the minds of our youths and robs us of our precious bodily fluids. Once you listen to it, you can’t unlisten to it.
The song definitely can get stuck in your head, but without identifying the brand in the song I wonder if it serves as good advertising or just a good annoyance. Listen and find out for yourself.

Whoever thought this commercial was a good idea should die a horrible death ASAP. The commercial should die too. Muting is not good enough. I will literaly change the channel and watch something else.
Comment // March 27th, 2006 // 10:17 pm
While I’m not in the market to buy a car right now, I flat-out refuse to buy a Ford anything until they pull this commercial. They should probably offer a public apology as well. The maniac who decided that the song would make a good commercial (and somehow sell cars by annoying people) should be fired on the spot. Someone should take the guitars/microphones/drums/etc away from that band.
Just my own little rant. :-)
Comment // March 28th, 2006 // 1:21 am
I hate this song and commerical. I find myself actually turning the radio up when it’s on. I’m not sure why, I don’t even realize I’m doing it, until I catch myself singing along. I walk around humming the tune and singing BEEP BEEP. How irritating! My mother visited my house the other day, and I heard her sing the words BEEP BEEP as she walked up my sidewalk. She can’t get the song out of her head either!
Comment // March 28th, 2006 // 10:06 pm
Thank you for creating a place to share this horrifying experience, hating and at the same time craving these commercials. They are godawful, can’t ever remember what the car content was and the weird mixing of black and white, bad lip-synch “music” with the saturated blue cars is just not good. The singer is not at all appealing with her odd gyrations and you’re right, the drummer looks very unhappy at being caught in mid-beep. I actually went to the band’s website/blog and read the words and listened to the whole song, and I still can’t get rid of it. But I promise I’ll never consider another Ford after they inflicted this on me ….

Comment // March 29th, 2006 // 4:39 pm
I hate this commercial more than anything on Earth. Here is an email I sent to Ford on Mar 24:
Dear Ford Marketing,
I wanted to notify you of a horrific situation in case you were unaware. Many prime time TV programs, including American Idol and the NCAA Basketball tournament, are showing the most annoying commercial in the history of the universe. This “Beep-Beep” commerical is the worst combination of music, lyrics, and lip-synching that the public has ever been exposed to. I can’t beleive that Ford was actually responsible for this marketing, so maybe it was GM or Chrysler trying to sabotage your recent strides in public image. The reason I write you is that I’m hoping you can help get this nonsense off of my TV in time for this weekend’s basketball games. If you cannot, then I will simply change the channel immediately and NEVER BUY A FORD FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE! Literally, I won’t buy a Ford ever if I have to see this thing again. Please help us.
Sincerely,
JB

Screw all of you that don’t like this commercial. I love it and the song!
Comment // March 29th, 2006 // 6:47 pm
Every comment posted just proves that Ford has come up with something that gets you to respond and remember. Whether you like it or not, it’s more effective than most car commercials and I give them credit for trying to do something different than seeing a family at a picnic or little league baseball game with their Expedition.
Comment // March 29th, 2006 // 6:53 pm
I agree. There’s probably more people out there who like this commercial than dislike it. The song is catchy and I like it. Obviously if you hear a song 100 times a day, it will get old. My hats off to Ford for giving a band like 13 Stories an opportunity to be heard. It’s an actual song and not a jingle and that’s what I like about it.
Comment // March 29th, 2006 // 11:27 pm
I know more people who reach for the nearest blunt object to gouge their eyes out when this crap comes on than those who turn it up. I do commend Ford for giving 13 Stories some publicity. As for effectiveness — I had to make a concerted effort to listen to this garbage just to figure out what company to contact with a complaint — otherwise I just dive for the remote the moment I hear the song come on. Then, of course, I end up on a different channel watching a different show; I wonder if this was really what they had in mind…it sure as hell doesn’t have me sprinting to Parkway Ford…..

I can’t believe an actual band (and I use that term loosely) wrote this atrocious song (and I use that term loosely). I thought it was some piece of garbage cooked up by a copywriter and lipsynched by a bunch of losers from whatever North Carolina’s version of central casting is.

What’s pathetic about the commercial is that this hack band is being presented as “cool”, when they look like they were just put together by ad guys to represent some generic rock band. It’s unbelievable when you then find out they are for real.
That vocal trail-off, note drop-down thing is what one hears in many local bars/dockside jello shot joints that employ year-old bands with influences from all over the place and a dream.
Most major corporations, such as Ford, never usually take such risks, but rather employ a talented music supervisor who procures interesting music as a musical/lyrical bed for the ad.
These guys’ “sound” may have seemed fresh in 1992, though.

I thought I was the only one tortured by this horribly annoying song!! It’s catchy, but more in a drive you insane kind of way rather than make you want to run out and buy a Ford - EVER!
Comment // April 26th, 2006 // 10:45 am
I’m so glad we are not alone in how we feel about this whole monstrocity of a commercial. We tivo things so even a hint of that metallic blue skirt and nasely voice it’s fastforward city!!! Whether it is catchy or not they are not a good band. Now the song for one of the HP commericals called “Electric eye” by ME, that is a wonderful commercial song. And a pretty good band. Who ever the Advertising group was for this commercial, they are either genius and don’t care about the shows that they are put into, or they are just plain stupid and couldn’t come up with anything better.
Comment // April 26th, 2006 // 1:07 pm
I used to mute, now I change the channel. It comes on once and sometimes twice a commercial break.
Now that NC has a lottery I hope I win. I’d use the money to produce my own commercial and spam the airwaves with it. I’d set up everything exactly the same, I’d bring the band back and all. Then I’d bring in a mob of people with pitchforks and torches. The rest writes itself.

It’s bad advertising.
When you honk the horn on a Mustang…it shouldn’t go “beep, beep”…It should go “HRAAONKK! HRAAONKK!”
“beep, beep” is for Kias and Hyundais, and is fine if your trying to alert squirrels, rabbits and geese,
but if you want to get someone out of your way because you drive a fast car, then you need something with more umphf
“You make me go HRAAONKK! HRAAONKK! (yeah) HRAAONKK! HRAAONKK!”
Comment // April 27th, 2006 // 8:03 am
The original “Beep Beep”, and the only legitimate claim to “Beep Beep” is the Road Runner and its namesake built by Plymouth. Whoever produced this ad and its obnoxious “music” should be taken out and dragged behind a Road Runner. Nothing in this ad makes me want to purchase a Mustang. The band is irritating at best.
Comment // April 27th, 2006 // 2:05 pm
Try to imagine how bad a commerical has to be to make me try to find out whether a sight like this actually exists? At first I thought these were just bad actors trying to look like a band. The good news is that now I know when I can take a piss during the Stanley Cup play-offs without missing anything important.

I unfortunately live in NC and this commerical is not only the scourge of radio but the classy visual version is played on all the loca TV stations. I cannot even begin to express my hate for this pointless, evil terrible advertising campaign. I feel like calling the dealership everytime I hear the commercial and making death threats. Seriously. It’s a thing of evil.

Comment // April 28th, 2006 // 10:59 am
First of all, I don’t think it’s a bad commercial. Two problems I have with it, though:
First few times I heard it was on the radio, and I had absolutely no idea what it was advertising! Saw it on TV and realized it was for Ford (the Mustang version is the one I’ve seen most often.) Found myself singing what I could remember of the jingle from time to time, but even then I had to be reminded that it was advertising Ford/Mustangs. (Best I could recall for a while was that it was “some car commercial”.)
My other problem was understanding the lyrics.
[Blah, blah, blah, something, something. Mumble mumble] BEEP!
(Beep, Beep!)
[Blah, blah, blah, something] OH NO. [Mumble mumble] BEEP!
(Beep, Beep!)
BEEP BEEP!
Saw an article about the band/commercial in the paper yesterday, found the website, and the lyrics. Um … They’re not talking about driving a car …
Of course, now that I know the actual lyrics, it has the song stuck in my head even WORSE than before! (Now I can actually sing it, or at least the part they play in the commercial.)

When I hear this commercial I seriously want to kill that stupid singer. The way she says “Beep Beep!” makes me want to peel her skin off, submerge her in iodine, and set her on fire. It really makes me hate ad agencies b/c the know exactly how annoying the commercials are, but you can’t help but remember such an outrageously idiotic and annoying commercial. When I see this tumor of a commercial I will practically do anything to hit the mute button before the banshee from hell opens her dumpster of a mouth.
I can’t wait until it is never aired again. You morons that say its not a bad commercial must be on some fantastic crack…or a Ford agent has a gun to your head. What on earth is wrong with you people?
Comment // May 1st, 2006 // 2:06 pm
I am so happy to know that other people hate this commercial as much as I do! Is there anything that can be done about it? Between the disgusting Hardees slobbering commercials and this Ford commercial, I watch my television on mute the majority of the time. Their marketing director should be fired immediately! I feel this commercial is not only annoying (which is an understatement) but no regard was given at all to the millions of people out there with a high sensitivity to noise. It may sound strange but there are millions of people who cannot tolerate repetitive, annoying sounds and noises. This is not just a “picky” complaint. This is an actual medical condition that can at times be dibilitating, especially when overwhelmed by the television station need to play this commercial over, and over and over……

My family and I share the same feeling on sales, businesses, politics and advertisement..if a company cannot be intelligent about their products I will NEVER buy it nor support it!

When all the members in a particular band are in their mid 30’s, this is a close to the proverbial “rainbow” as they’ll get. I hope this doesn’t go to their heads and that they don’t actually think they are on the cusp of making it big based on the fact that Ford’s pathetic advertising and PR department is gung ho about them. Ford is only an authority on shortlived, unreliable, ugly, overpriced cars. So why are they trying to convice me they have branched of into Star Search talent scouts and have just found the hottest up and coming band in Atlanta?? I mean Cheri D is easy on the eyes an all but unfortunately NOT on my ears. “Beep Beep”? Oh my God you’ve got to be kidding me. Take that and that other horrible single “Beep” by the Pussycat Skanks and bury them in the archives of the “Horrible crap has come out of pop culture so far in 2006″ time capsule. But hey, that’s just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Comment // May 24th, 2006 // 12:27 am
Here it is. The song is the poppiest song coming out of an adult band in a long time. It does get in your head, and the lead singer is hot despite being hotly annoying(?). However the song itself doesn’t bother me as much as pairing it with images of a Mustang. The imagery used by Mustang is typically macho, manly, strong, etc. which has nothing to do with bubble gum pop, or “beep beep”. I’m sure the original engineers of the Mustang are turning in their grave, assuming of course that they’re dead. Of course if they saw this commercial they probably died of a heart attack. I’m just shocked that the corporate branding team hasn’t yanked this commercial. It’s as incongruent as if you saw a screaming car commercial guy yelling about “Bargain Basement BMWs! You can’t get a better deal than this! Come on down! Woo!” You don’t see that for a reason. It’s all about branding. Hmph.

Well, it seems that even though almost everyone hates this commercial, it did its job.
Congrats to its creators!
EVERYONE is thinking about it and talking about it.
That’s just what Ford wanted, and it’s just what they got.
That’s why these guys get paid the BIG bucks.
Beep, beep!

I always thought the song had a catchy beat until you get to the Beep Beep chorus. I think most guys watch the commercial the way we’d watch videos in the ’80s. You’d watch a video over and over trying to get a better look at the hot woman.
Like the outfit. Car looks good too.

Unfortunately we got to see this “band” live in Raleigh. I immediately remembered them from the “Beep Beep…I want to kill myself commercial.” After realizing that they were a real “band” and listening to some other songs, I realized that the lack of lyrical talent and effort combined with the absurd gyrations of the lead singer/rapper/dumb bimbo warrants all of the previous comments listed here. This band, while trying to promote girl power, really just set the women gender movement back.

[…] Just when television watchers couldn’t take the endless “Beep Beep” Ford ad deluge anymore, they decided to relent on their advertising schedule. Unfortunately it seems to have been replaced with another non-stop sing-a-thon, with American Idol winner Taylor Hicks singing about how much he loves Ford. Over and over and over again. In certain market areas, this commercial plays continuously, every commercial break, in every available national and local slot. In a small South Carolina town it has been playing non-stop for eight days on the local Fox affiliate. […]

Thank God there is a band that can write a song about something fun. I get so tired of the same ol *&^% and this song is a welcome relief. Yes, it is very teeny bopper but you know what .. it’s fun.

I have to say, I heard this song on the radio before I ever saw this terrible commercial. I like the song, I even have it in my personal collection. It sounds better in a music file than in this commercial. Plus I hate car commercials. So its probably a combination of the two.
Good song. Bad commercial.

Isn’t the girl singing about a BJ? Who thought you could go in for a Ford and walk out with a Hummer?

[…] So last night, my wife says I think I heard a 13 Stories song on the radio or something the other day. 13 Stories is my old band. So I go check out their website. It’s true, Beep Beep, a song I have a co-writting credit is being used in a Ford commercial and is getting some airplay on some radio stations in the southeast. Now if you read the Ford commercial link above…the comments aren’t kind about the band or the song itself, nor are they here. But to be honest, that’s probably fine by them. The point with pop music like this is to leave some sort of impression. It doesn’t matter if you love it or hate it, they want something that sticks in your head. I distinctly remember when the bassplayer and I lived together in Atlanta and we were reading the Hot List Issue of Rolling Stone and the Worst Band of the Year was Hootie and the Blowfish, who sold 30 million records that year. Jimmy and I both decided that we’d have no problem with the honor of being named the worst band of the year. […]
