What in the world?! Kit Kat has a commercial using the song "Work It" by Missy Elliott. ???? What does this have to do with a candy bar?

It got your attention, I think that is the answer.

It got your attention so much that you rememberd it and are talking about Kit Kat bars. Mission accomplished!!!! That's the point of advertising.

Makes me discuss Kit Kat but not want to purchase it. It is a very provocative song/lyrics. I like the song (love Missy Elliott) but not for this.

I think using very popular songs for television advertising is clever. It definitely catches my attention.

You just don't understand advertising. Perhaps YOU don't want to buy a Kit Kat but I do, and I am not joking. I like Kit Kat bars but I haven't had one or thought about them in maybe years. I haven't seen that commercial but YOU did. And what you think of as provocative lyrics got your attention, Kit Kat bars got your attention. You are talking about them to hundreds of people now and Kit Kats are now in the minds of some of us and when we go shopping....we'll probably pick up one or a pack of the minis that I like. The song and whatever YOU don't like in the lyrics are totally irrelevant because they aren't selling a song. They selling Kit Kat candy. So, just using YOU as an example, it is an extremely successful commercial. It's like those commercials for prescription medications. We aren't physicians, we cannot prescribe them or go out and buy them. The commercials don't even say anything about the medications. Just the name and the diseasone. But if we have the disease or condition, that medication name STICKS in our minds even though, as lay people we don't know diddlysquat about the medicaction. But we remember the name of it and we ask our physician about it and he he or she does some research and considers this new medication that he or she didn't even know existed.....and he or she discusses it with other physicians who then look it up and consider it for their patients. That's how all advertising, for everything works.

The song is being use because of its hook. It catches one's attention which is the point of ads.

Missy Elliott has an album coming out this year (hopefully!).

That’s usually the reason why major artists come out of the woodwork

for appearances and/or commercials.

Marketing 101.

Even though she doesn’t need it, it gets people like me

spending hours scrolling through her video archive,

getting anxious to buy her new material!

Kit Kat stooped to a new all time low using a song with explicit lyrics for advertising. Even though they got attention. I lost all respect for kit Kat and refuse to purchase or eat their product and won't allow my children to have it either.

I do that with Russell Stovers and other boxed chocolate. Yum. I will have to try your way with a Kit Kat sometime but must admit I am more a Milky Way/Snickers girl @Daisy Sunflower

Advertisers can do whatever they want to do. People will buy or not buy based on their personal opinions.

Many advertisers do not understand this basic concept.

They try to go after a niche market and end up blowing off a larger number of consumers.

And then they wonder what went wrong.
