What is the Song in the Ellen Beats Commercial?
There are four songs in the Ellen Beats commercial that are all described below. You can learn more about the songs by using the links to Amazon on the right.
When Ellen puts on the first pair of headphones, a rock song plays. This song is "Paranoid" and it is sung by Black Sabbath. It is a heavy metal song.
The lyrics to the song that are in the commercial are found below: "Finished with my woman, 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind." |

The second song in the commercial is a country song called "Stripes" and it is sung by Brandy Clark. It's a song about a woman who won't commit a crime because she doesn't want to wear prison clothes (it is quite funny).
Here are the lyrics we hear in the commercial: "'Cause I hate stripes, And orange ain't my color." |

The third song in the commercial is a techno song called "IDGAFOS" and it is by Dillon Francis. IDGAFOS stands for the following:
I Don't Give A F--- (use your imagination) Or S---- (use your four letter imagination again) |

The song that Ellen finally figures out is "just right" is "Can You Do This?" a song sung by Aloe Blacc (it's on his album "Lift Your Spirit"). The lyrics from "Can You Do This?" from the commercial are below:
"Now I, I, I, I, don't know who you are, But girl I want to know if you can move like this. And I, I, I, I, don't know if you're gonna tell it, but I wanna know what yo name is. And you, you, you, you, you, Gonna make me fall in love with you, If you keep on shakin' yo hips. Now can you do this?" |

A Comical Summary of the Commercial
As the commercial starts, there is a caped figure walking through a scary nighttime city street scene. The caped individual begins to run and animal people growl at in their direction. We see a Schnauzer man panting who apparently is dating an owl who hoots angrily. Three pigs are causing trouble, one has his hoof with money fanned out in it which is very scary. The figure approaches a building called "The Woods" and climbs the fire escape.
"Once there was a girl who was hungry for the perfect music to dance to," Ellen narrates, in Goldilocks and the Three Bears fashion. We suddenly see that the caped figure was Ellen, and she has a bow in her hair. She has broken into an apartment that doesn't belong to her.
She sees some Beats headphones, and not fearing any head lice or animal ear wax, she slips them on and listens to the music that was just being listened to. "Paranoid" by Black Sabbath blares in her ears. She kicks and plays the drums, but she just can't get her groove on. "Papa's was too fast," she concludes.
She spots a pair of red headphones and slips them on. "Stripes" by Brandy Clark is playing. Ellen bobs her head and does some weird dancing that is a cross between line dancing and I don't know what. She is smiling pretty big, but the narrator tells us she didn't like that one too much. "Mama's was too slow," she says.
The teenager has turquoise headphones and is a techno mix. Ellen becomes robotic as she dances. "And the teenager's music..." she is just not impressed, so she doesn't finish her sentence. Plus she realizes that she's not good at dancing in that style and it looks like her hand might be stinky (she scrunches her nose and moves it away from her face).
She pulls a cell phone from out of nowhere with the Beats app pulled up. "I'm in a den and I feel like dancing and listening to pop music," she reads from the screen. Just then, the animal family walks in on her! Gasp! The family is three bears and a wolf was added for good measure.
"Hello!" she smiles. She is apparently no longer afraid of animal people.
"Hit play, baby," the Snoop Dogg wolf in a suit and tie tells her. The dance party begins.
Ellen, the three bears and the wolf dance wildly (wait.. did Ellen just do her version of the Dougie?). She gets into the animal spirit by dancing with "paws and claws." Mama has a big belt buckle with her name and she does her line dancing. Papa is wearing a leather jacket and his HyberNation T-shirt. The teenager has a bunch of hair growing out of the middle of her head and a sparkly vest and glasses on.
"And they all danced happily ever after." Good thing the wolf was there because those bears were growling and looked pissed at Ellen breaking in. Now they're thick as thieves. What a happy story!

Was This Commercial Effective?
Well, I still can't figure out what the Schnauzer was doing with the owl, but the rest of it was in line with the message that Beats audio was trying to present. The message is that if you don't know what you want to listen to, Beats will help you find the right song for your mood.
The commercial hits many different types of people because of the wide range of music in it (Heavy Metal, Country, Techno, and Pop). Plus, the final pop song is very catchy and fun and puts you in a good mood (maybe even in a dancing mood!).
There are still people out there that dislike Ellen because of her sexual orientation, but this commercial is more geared toward the younger generation where there is not so much hate. Notice they didn't include any Christian songs in the commercial. Unfortunately this is where this commercial will get the most criticism.
The commercial is a bit cheesy, but overall it's fun. It's not the best Super Bowl commercial ever, but it will entertain most of us for the minute it is playing.
