Freestyle aka Freestyle Evolution - Don’t Stop the Rock

I know - what a sucker! After seeing the ad a few times and enjoying the eyebrow jiggery pokery, I realised that I actually really liked the tune too.  So through the power of modern technology (Shazam and the interweb), I looked up the tune and vids. At first I thought it was a nu-skool Chromeo-eque creation.

As it turns out the tune, Don’t Sop The Rock by Freestyle aka Freestyle Evolution, is straight out of 1980’s Miami.  The group was founded by a guy with possibly the most pimping name ever,  Tony “Pretty Tony” Butler.  Anyways,  here’s the ad and the tune in it’s entirety. Make sure you enjoy the rest of the tunes of their Myspace!

Maybe I am the marketing man’s dream but I don’t care, that ad’s great and apparently was done with no CGI, just good old fashioned cellotape…and a balloon.
