Who wrote and who performs the Pirate Song to Free Credit Report?

Answer 1

Dave Muhlenfeld, a senior copywriter at the Martin Agency, wrote the song and lyrics, and also provides the voice of the FreeCreditReport.com guy. Actor/Musician Eric Violette was hired by the Martin Agency to play the role because he had the look they were after, but was told to lip-sync because of his thick French accent and limited English.

Answer 4

The "new car" one is:

Well, I was shopping for a new car,

Which one's me?

A cool convertible or an SUV

Too bad I didn't know my credit was wack,

So now I'm driving off the lot in a used subcompact

F-R-E-E, that spells free, credit report dot com baby,

Saw their ad on my TV, thought about goin' but was too lazy

Now instead of lookin' fly I'm rollin' far.

My legs are stickin' to the vinyl and my posse's gettin' laughed at

F-R-E-E, that spells free, credit report dot com baby

The "tourist" one is:

And the "Dreamgirl" one is:

Well, I married my dream girl, I married my dream girl,

But she didn't tell me her credit was bad

So now instead of living in a pleasant suburb,

We're living in the basement at her mom & dad's

Now we can't get a loan for a respectable home

Just because my girl defaulted on her old credit card

If we'd gone to free credit report dot com,

I'd be a happy bachelor with a dog in the yard
