The song

I’m going to talk about Mercedes Benz by Janis Joplin. Jain Joplin wrote the song as a critical social commentary on how people relate happiness to money and material possessions. The song was originally written as something of a negative commentary about materialistic persons who place too much value on things like a Mercedes-Benz. The song heavily reflects Joplin's view of what she saw as a materialistic world. Mercedes-Benz used the song in commercials for their cars.
