IF YOU’VE BEEN watching a lot of TV in the last few days you’ll have probably watched the Hyundai ad featuring Maroon 5 at least 10 times per day. If you have had the sheer luck NOT to witness it here it is in all it’s terrible glory.
We’re not sure who commissioned this ad or why but what we do know is that it’s absolute torture to watch and the ad executive behind this needs to be swiftly dealt with.
Day Six of the World Cup and the stand-out thing for me so far is how much I want to punch that lad from Maroon 5 for that Three Little Birds cover #worldcup
What are the five worst words in the English language? "Maroon 5 - Three Little Birds"

The one upside to when the #WorldCup ends next month is that Maroon 5 massacre of Three Little Birds will leave our screens forever

Here are 8 acts we’d rather in this ad if we’re going to have watch it again.
1. Martin O’Neill & Roy Keane

Can we imagine Roy and Martin being so happy as to sing ‘Three Little Birds’? Probably not. Would we like to see them make an attempt? Oh yes absolutely. Imagine that lovely combination of the Northern Irish and Cork lilt singing ‘Don’t worry!’. Gorgeous stuff.
2. The entire cast of Riverdance

Michael Flatley may be the most annoying person ever but we’d still rather him Irish dancing ‘Three Little Birds’ with the rest of Riverdance than watch Maroon 5 do it again. If we win Eurovision again, it can be our interval act. Two birds, one stone and all that.
3. Eyal and Adam

They may not be the most popular guys in the villa (Adam is a snake and that’s all I have to say on the matter) but we think they’d make a decent combination in an ad for car safety. Alternatively we’d like to see the mam and dad give the lads a clip around the ear.
4. Keith Andrews hair

Sentient hair can go one way or another if that episode of the Simpons where Homer gets Snake’s hair is anything to go by. That being said, Keith Andrews has become one of our favourite pundits and I’m willing to give sentient hair another chance.
U2 have a habit of dividing opinions but they could definitely give ‘Three Little Birds’ a good crack. Maybe in the style of ‘Vertigo’?
6. Mrs. Brown

We’re not saying that this would be any less annoying but they do say that variety is the spice of life right?
7. Crystal Swing

We’ve already murdered ‘Three Little Birds’ so why not add some country to do and bury it altogether? It could be the opener for the next season of the Late Late Show.
8. Any member of Fianna Fáil

It looks like they may need to find a new way to be relevant for the next election. They could adopt it as a campaign slogan. ‘Don’t worry (about all that stuff we did during the Boom) cause every little thing is gonna be alright (if you vote for us, we won’t destroy the country again we promise).
