[Nostalgia] Ball Don't Lie: 1995 Taco Bell Ad

I have it somewhere on a cassette tape. I still remember some of the lyrics though:

"Dream..Dream..Dream..Dream..Dream..Dream..Dream..Dream..Dream..Dream..Dream..Dream..Dream..Dream..Dream..Dream..

With Etonic shoes he does the inside moves as he powers to the hoop
He take the pass high above the glass for the one hand alley-oop
You won't survive the dribble drive, cause he'll take it from your hands
You think you're hot, just take a shot, he'll knock in the stands....

Unbelieveable....Unbeatable....Unbelieveable....Unbeatable...."

I can't recall if there was a 2nd verse.

 

Well technically muslims only eat kosher (halal) meats and im sure that taco bell's meat isn't kosher. Im sure thats what the other poster was thinking.

 

Wow that's awesome.Thanks. I've never heard it,but I read in a old basketball magazine that it also goes I refuse to accept defeat,the unbeatable dream. I've discarded that magazine,so I could be wrong.

 

Yes,they did after the 2nd Championship win but it got canceled. I'm not sure what the reason for that was,but I've heard it was allegedly because of an injury to the Dream.

 

Damn. The Double Decker taco is 13 years old?

 

Yes,that's correct. Hakeem may not have been observant at the time.

Unbelievable! Thanks durvasa, and SilentAssassin again. It was awesome to hear Hakeem say unbeatable in his characteristic voice.

 

Oh man, that's pure GOLD!! Literally brought a tear to my eye.



I guess I forgot that there were 4 verses, but I'm amazed how well I remembered what I did.

 

"To rise above the rim and block the shot... THAT is the key to the game."

Anyone remember that one from Etonic?

And what about the commercial he did with Joe Montana and Karl Malone for LA Gear?

That was a good one... Joe is looking down and Karl is doing most of the talking, can you shoot? Can you pass? Can you dribble? Can you Pass?

Joe looks up, and while he turns his hat backwards,... 'yeah, I can pass'

 

Great commercial! I mis the mid 90's era when Hakeem was in his prime. Never seen a bike that could hold a guy 7'2", 325 and a guy 6'11", 250 either.

 

Rofl! This was my first thought as well. It's hard to believe some of this stuff has been around so long. And yeah, that must have been one giant bike to hold those guys!
