After “Seal” can be translated into German in many ways (such as seal, sealing and seal), the combination of Seal and Seehund has become a joke on social media in recent years. Seal becomes a mixture of human sea and seal. The body is a seal, the head is SEAL. However, he does not have a mustache. What has been a meme so far has now become a real advertising.
The advertising begins in the kitchen: singer Becky G drinks a sip “Mountain Dew Baja Blast”.
In the course of this, she is teleported on a boat from which she sees many seals, one of them Seehund-Seal. With “Kiss from a lime” they sing a version of his hits “Kiss from a rose” adapted to the drink.
The lyrics were also adapted to the lime or the drink: “Ooh, The More I Think of It / It’s Strange I’m a Seal, Yeah / My Flipper Can’t Hold Mountain Dew / It Slips Right on Through. What a shame ”. In German: “Ooh, the more I think about it / it is strange that I am a seal, Yeah / My fins cannot hold Mountain Dew / it just slips through. What a shame. “
At the end of the spot, Seal accepts his human form again and depends on Becky G on the boat. A 30-second section of the commercial will be broadcast during the Super Bowl next Sunday, February 9th. Who may already see him:

In an interview with “Today.com” Seal thinks that he wanted to approach the memes: “I had to laugh, they were already in a good mood,” he said. “There are aspects and parts of my life that are really serious that require concentration and responsibility and responsibility … and so it is every time I have the chance to laugh and make myself fun with a meme – that My head on a seal shows hilarious! – is a good antidote to the seriousness of life. “
He also praised the work of Taika Waititi, who led to the clip director: “I love his work and I love him as a person … I was fun. And he really took care of me, which is not a matter of course. It was just a professional line -up. “
