Back in high school a friend and I changed the words to the Dr. Pepper
jingle to be all about werewolves. An American Werewolf in London had
just come out starring David Naughton who was the Dr. Pepper Spokesman.
For some reason it's been stuck in my head all morning. It went like
this:
I've turned into a werewolf don't you know.
There's really no where safe you can go,
'Cause if you look around these days
There seems to be a lycanthropic craze!*
I'm a werewolf! He's a werewolf. She's a werewolf!
If you've been bitten maybe your a werewolf, too!
Be a werewolf (don't be a vampire)
Be a werewolf (don't be a vampire)
See, even back in the '80s vampires were lame.
*American Werewolf, The Howling and Wolfen all came out in 1981.
