Who's Talent On Display

You know your product is groovy when The Who write lyrics about it. Even more surprisingly is, despite the 'endorsement', the brand still lives:

...She was happier than
she'd ever been
As he praised her for
her grace
But his expression
changed, she had seen
As he leant to kiss her
face

It ended there
He claimed a late
appointment
She quickly turned
To hide her
disappointment
She ripped her
glittering gown
Couldn't face another
show, no
Her deodorant had let
her down
She should have used
Odorono

Odorono could have
saved your day
Could have helped her
to get the part
Odorono and he would
have stay
To help her to save her
heart
It comes from the album The Who Sell Out,

If your mum knew that, she'd never let you buy that product.

You know she doesn't approve of that band and wishes you wouldn't play your records so loud but it was the final straw when she saw your latest boyfriend show up in something called a 'panel van'.

The only way you are allowed out with Sir Shags-alot, young lady, is if he keeps the armour on during the date.
