I wrote a new song called “Please Don’t Steal my Escalade” last week. Cadillac Escalades frequently top the ‘most stolen’ vehicle lists.
Here is a link to the song:
Please give it a listen. I think this song could be part of a fun commercial for Cadillac.
Scene: Recording studio, band performing
Camera angle: show the mixing boards and a view through the window of the band recording, with 2 engineers in the booth. Sound is live. Shoot with a studio band performing the song; mix with video of Escalades being driven on the booth walls around the band.
Cast the studio band with a mix of ages, but the lead singer needs to be younger – 20s/30s. Final scene is with the Producer in the booth murmuring “I tell you what I’d do if someone tries to roll with my Escalade!” and a nod in reply from the 2nd Engineer. Perfect if the Producer is the ‘name’ talent and has the line.
It would show a sense of humor and perhaps help humanize the Escalade theft issue.

Original Mix – Adult ContemporaryLyrics:
I got a new Escalade
‘Cause I need it
To carry pieces that I need
To do all the things I do
To do the things that I doPlease don’t steal my Escalade
It’s an instrument I need
How I play the notes of my life
It’s my CadillacWe both want my Escalade
But let’s think of how you’ll feel
When You have your own
You’ll say to some guy,
Hey You! Please don’t steal my Cadillac!Please don’t steal my Escalade
It’s an instrument I need
How I play the notes of my life
It’s my Cadillac[bridge]
Please don’t steal my Escalade
It’s the way that I do
The things That I do
You know that we all want to
Just do the things that we do
