Glen! Glenn! Glennnn!
Published May 18, 2004
I just saw a commerical for Starbucks double shot expresso in a can. It featured the 80's group Survivor singing a little ditty about a guy named Glen. To the tune of Eye Of The Tiger
Glen! Glen Glen Glen! Glen Glen Glennnnn!Glen's the man
Goin' to work
Got his tie,
Got ambitionHe knows one day he just might become
Supervisor....
You really have to see this. They're dolled up in leather pants and bright silk shirts, playing the song as Glen goes to work.
The years have not been kind to them, but at least they have work.
And, as a side note, if anyone can find the audio to this, I'd love to have it for work....

Interesting. I do know that Survivor's original singer, Dave Bickler, sings in the Budweiser "Real Men of Genius" ad campaign. Those commericals (e.g., Mr. Really Bad Toupee Wearer) are hilarious, I have to admit.
I came here looking for the actual commercial the other day, then I fount one today, so I thought I'd post it here.
Can't find the audio but here's the video.

I found a link to the video on the Starbuck's web site. Here's the words as I hear them.

This is a genius commercial
Aaron's got it mainly right...
I believe it's Status Quo Reports.
here's the link to the offical Starbucks website page that has the full commercial:

This is the most entertaining commercial I've seen in a long time.
Aaorn is right but the only part that's wrong is staus com. It is staus quo. But that commercial is awesome! The best in Commercial history it should win an academy award for shortest film ever!
i love the commercial soo bad

MIke, mike miemke moekie
yeah its a real feather in your cap
Here are the corrections...
Hes the king of his cool (sounds like coo or que tho)
Status com reports have finally
Roy! Roy, Roy Roy! . . .
"King of his cube" is the only thing that makes sense.
well, the link i've given is more of a video than it is an audio, but it you just want to be able to hear it at your leisure it'll do. (besides that, video's better anyways) the link is: http://www.transbuddha.com/justin/video/funny/StarbucksEyeTiger.htm
Here is the link to the video from the starbucks website

There's actually 2 versions of this commercial...and both are being played on tv...
The one you can see at "content.collegehumor.com" one is the first one...at the end...Roy is walking down the hallway...and Survivor follows him...
And the one at the starbucks.com website is the second one...at the end...Roy gets on the elevator...just a weird factoid...
And 3rd off...at least here in the New England area...I coulda swore when they first started playing this commercial...Roy was the first guy...and Glen came later...but not sure...
Just some stuff to ponder...later.
hey im looking for a spanish version of this song, if there is one and you know where to find it, please email me the link or whatever. thank you
by the way my email is dramakween1489@aol.com
Yeah, look how cool Starbucks drinkers are...NOT. You, too, can be a cog in the corporate machine, just like Glen! Glen, Glen, Glen!
