Commercials I Love: Viva Viagra

This commercial is somewhat of a guilty pleasure for me, whenever I see it I feel like doing a Dr. Phil impression; "let's get real!"

The first time I saw this spot I thought: Elvis must be spinning in his grave. I later read a tabloid that said Priscilla and Lisa Marie Presley were the ones spinning; Elvis didn't write the song so they did not have the rights and were unable to block "Viva Las Vegas" from being used to pitch erectile dysfunction medication.

I worked for a urologist once and I can tell you that none of the patients had so much as a smile regarding ED; much less a jam session with their buddies where they're singing about a medication to alleviate it.
