Bon Jovi: Cup of Noodles anyone?

Ugh, I despise Cup of Noodles, it's like eating salt with noodles. And the noodles never taste like they fully cooked and are still stale in the Styrofoam cup. YUCK!

Anyway, in the commercial below Jon doesn't actually sing, but they use video from Live From London.

I hope they got permission!

Bon Jovi are the latest mega band to sing in Japanese about their midnight cravings
By Robert Michael Poole 12 November, 2010

Bon Jovi -- rockers, actors, but Japanese speakers? Yes, if you watch new footage of their 1995 gig in Wembley Stadium, which appears to show the group singing parts of their hit "You Give Love A Bad Name" in Japanese.

In fact, the band are the latest act recruited to sing about Nissin's Cup Noodles, theirs being a teenage tale.

Followling MISIA’s “Everything,” British funk band Jamiroquai’s “Virtual Insanity” and power pop group GLAY’s “HOWEVER,” Bon Jovi sang new lyrics in honor of the ever-popular noodle. The lyrics are as follows;

"The son is a high school third grader

He was studying for his exams

His cup noodle midnight snack

His mom had forgotten

The son ... sulked"

Fifteen and 30-second versions of the clips are now airing. Nissin has made a reputation for bringing in foreign stars for their advertisements, famously utilizing Arnold Schwarzenegger for several ad campaigns.
