Drop the Chalupa!
by Doug Dawson
Notes:
During the 1990's, the television airwaves were
saturated with Taco Bell ads, featuring the
ubiquitous Taco Bell chihuahua (who became famous
for uttering the words "Yo quiero Taco Bell").
One of the last of these ads featured two police
officers, pointing their guns at a shivering man
who was "caught" holding a "chalupa"
in his hand. "Drop the chalupa!"
ordered the officers, as the Taco Bell Chihuahua
stood underneath this Mexican treat, his mouth
watering.
They advertise
Mexican food all the time,
With this Taco Bell ad on TV.
It features the Taco Bell dog and the
cops -
Looks like a shakedown to me.
"Drop the chalupa!" the cops
tell the guy, who was
Caught with some food in his hand.
The Taco Bell dog stands right under the
food,
Thinking "set it down gently, my man!"
The cops point their guns at the
shivering man,
They're mean and aggressive and rude.
You'd think the poor fellow was holding a
gun -
Instead of some Mexican food.
I taught myself "Spanish" by
watching TV
But "drop the chalupa" is all I
can say.
You know I considered reporting those
cops -
They work for the dog, by the way. |
