New Musical Homage to Mercedes-Benz Brand

Janis Joplin did it in 1971 and now it's being done again: A musical homage to the iconic Merecedes-Benz brand.

Mercedes-Benz is a standard brand name used time and time again in the music industry. According to Billboard magazine, in the years 2003 through 2005, Benz was consistently one of the top brand names mentioned in Top 20 songs. Interestingly enough, however, the luxury automobile maker is not the company behind the song. BLAG, an international style magazine contracted British singers Estelle and Daley, along with the Grammy-winning rapper David Banner to make 'Benz.'
