I'm sure the "Mercedes Hands" is something that someone came up with like
Coke & Pepsi bezel. Nothing official.

We all know the "People's Car"

TARDIS · 29 January 2008, 05:25 PM

Y'all made me think of her....

Mercedes Benz", also known as "The Politician", is a cappella song sung by Janis Joplin, in which she asks the "Lord" to buy her a Mercedes-Benz, a color TV, and a "night on the town".

Joplin wrote "Mercedes Benz" together with the poet Michael McClure and Bob Neuwirth, as a social commentary on how people relate happiness to money and material possessions. In the song she asks God to give her the things she has "earned". The song was recorded in one-take.

BTW No mention of Rolex in the lyrics!

Ah Janis Babe....RIP

It is fine since Rolex and Mercedes are not in direct competition with one another. From my business law days I recall that "Cadillac Dog Food" was sued by Cadillac Automobiles for trademark infringement. Since dog food and cars are not in competition, the company name stayed.

No need...

No problem my friend. I like any german car including porsches but i lean towards mercedes. Mercedes is not producing only sports cars like porsche is doing they are really different. The cars that i really like are home theater cars like the S class. I am not into speed that much allthough i have to admit that the CL 65 amg is a killer. I love porsche cars but as i said i am not into sport cars i am into feeling comfortable

Didn't she die 3 days later after making that recording?

GoldenBear · 30 January 2008, 07:29 AM

I had a CLS 550. Fast like a rocket and comfortable like a hammock. Still, I like sports cars.

Oh, and Rolex.
