Pepsi<\/i> is re-releasing some of their most famed, star-studded music video commercials. <\/p>\n
The re-released versions of archival commercials pay tribute to music legends Madonna<\/b>, Britney Spears<\/b>, Tina Turner<\/b>, Robert Palmer<\/b>, and Ray Charles<\/b>.<\/p>\n
For the first time in decades, versions of the iconic Madonna and Britney Spears spots will return to national television during the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards<\/i> on September 12.<\/p>\n
The revived music video commercials are Tina Turner’s “Taste For Pepsi” (1986), Robert Palmer’s “Simply Irresistible” (1989), Madonna’s “Like A Prayer” (1989), Ray Charles’ “The Right One Baby” (1991) and Britney Spears’ “The Joy of Cola” (2001).<\/p>\n
The original spots for Madonna’s “Like A Prayer” and Spears’ “The Joy of Cola” have not been aired on national television in full since their original runs, over 30 and 20 years ago, respectively. <\/p>\n
Pepsi has a long history at the VMAs, showing up consistently at the show for decades, including the recent premiere of the Pepsi-Cola Soda Shop music video inspired by the film “Grease” in 2021.<\/p>\n
Beginning Thursday, fans can watch all five revived spots on the Pepsi YouTube channel at https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/PEPSI<\/p>\n
