Kia's great parody of the classic 80s anthem:

On the plus side, he's wearing khakis, so we don't have to see his pasty white thighs jiggling on camera. [xx(]

Everytime my wife and I see him pumping his pelvis at the car, it makes us throw up a little bit.

Would have been better with a saleswoman but, never the less, very cool.

I need to make the move from print advertising and design to television. These guys are having waaaaay too much fun [;)]

It's definitely done with a big wink! I give credit to anyone who can parody two things I really despised when they were popular ("Maniac" and "Flashdance") and make me chuckle...kind of like the "Mr. Roboto" commercials a few years back.
