We’re not sure if Pfizer, the makers of Viagra, will be overly loving this celebrity endorsement but superstar rapper Kanye West has dedicated his new single to extolling the popular wonder drug. The single is taken from 88-Keys debut album The Death of Adam and has been co-produced by Kanye.
Entitled “Stay Up (Viagra)”, the track sees the massively popular musician envisaging an old age when perhaps his potency is waning slightly. The lyrics - erm – poignantly capture the trauma faced by millions of men suffering from E.D. “What she got is so Niagara", he raps sensitively, “Make a young n***** straight need Viagra.” The song continues eloquently, “Just to keep from all the ‘tee-hees’ and laughter/Her telling her home-girls that he couldn’t stay up”.
Arguments from the partners of ED-afflicted men pointing out that they only ever have reacted sensitively to the condition and would never think of tee-heeing have not yet been responded to. Mr. West has been filming a searing video to accompany his oeuvre. It depicts him and his friend and producer 88-Keys as senior citizens, roaming the streets of Hollywood with what MTV describes as some “honeys” on their arm.
We do hope Lilly and Bayer, makers of Viagra-rivals Cialis and Levitra, don’t get too jealous. What’s next – Fifty-Cent and Snoop-Dog promoting their medications? If any representatives from the companies are reading, please, please, please consider it – you would be making our year…
