Yup, its the Vandals
Nope, not those Vandals
Not these Vandals either
What we got here is a Grade-A wax advert, brought to you by the fine people @ Macy's and the 7-Up beverage company (Patent pending). 'Wet & Wild' is a refreshing romp though the gossamer hedgerows of the celebrated Lemon-Lime tonic, replete w/ some heavy Vox Continental action (1966 Natch!). I love how the lyrics are blatantly sexual - "Sooo Wet!"
'Mustang Georgie', likewise, is a steamin' 'Mersey Pie' of bubblegum, Muscle Cars and repressed anger - "My Mustang didn't cost me half as much as you!!!". Man alive, these Vandals are pissed! And while none of these tunes illicit even a remote response with regard to me buying either a Mustang, or a 7-Up, I am totally game for buyin' more kitchy pop-advertising records.
Wafflehouse...here I come!!!
Wet & Wild - Vandals
Mustang Georgie - Vandals

I guess there were a few "Macy's, 7-Up" sponsored releases. I'm planning on posting one as well by the Arrivals. Super cool record, thanks for posting this!!
My pleasure. I actually have another Macy's sponsored disk (b/w Sax Fifth Avenue). It' more of a Las Vegas Grind kinda deal. Lookin forward to hearin' more on the Macy's tip!
