Ok now I'm really wondering. Does that song that guy Renaldo sings seriously say PEE POLE?

Now it was another guy they were showing in the bad auditions video.

He is sing the spiritual That goes "let my people go' and th way he said it makes it sound like pee pole.

I wasn't even thinking that way until I read your post!

I hate this Diet coke commercial so much. this song is so annoying. "dance all night...dance all night..." Blah.

OMGosh I know! I was just getting ready to post. It seems like that commercial has been around since like 2002 or 2003.
