10 Songs that Name Drop Mercedes-Benz
1. Mercedes-Benz by Janis Joplin
While it also mentions Porsche, it is clear that Mercedes-Benz is the star of this song. Singing, "Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz? My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends," Janis Joplin was clearly a fan of M-B. And if the Lord does provide that sweet Benz, she will stand out against the crowd, who are all driving Porsches.

2. What You See is What You Sweat by Aretha Franklin
Singing about man troubles, Aretha Franklin mentions Mercedes-Benz three times in her song. The use of each M-B name drop corresponds with a decline in the relationship, as she first calls it "our Mercedes-Benz" and ends it twice with "my Mercedes-Benz." Looks like we all know who the Mercedes-Benz is staying with.

5. Mercedes-Benz by Say Yes
Say Yes has somehow made stalking a woman romantic in this 2001 pop song. Either singing "Mercedes-Benz" or "Benz," the group says it multiple times in the song, fittingly named "Mercedes-Benz." There seems to be something more intriguing about a woman in a Benz, as they also sing, "Nothing against the Jags, Nothing against the Rolls, Nothing against the Fords or Chevy's, but I got to have the Benz..."

6. Smile by G-Unit
It seems that Mercedes-Benz just goes along with a lot of heartbreak songs, because G-Unit's "Smile" is another song under the 'woman troubles' category. Although, this is the only song where the artist feels it is better to be alone with his Mercedes-Benz. The lyrics go: "I'm gettin' the feelin' you wanna take revenge. From the conversations we have and the way it ends. You wanna discuss me in front of your lady friends. That's why it's just me and my Mercedes-Benz..."

7. Payola Blues by Neil Young
In this classic rock song, Neil Young wants nothing more than to have his song on the radio. Like many of the other songs on this list, Mercedes-Benz gets dropped on the second-to-last verse. This upbeat song also doesn't combine love or heartbreak with a Mercedes-Benz, making this song stand out from the rest.

8. Get the Party Started by P!nk
P!nk is taking advantage of the image the Mercedes-Benz exudes, as she sings "We'll be lookin' flashy in my Mercedes-Benz." P!nk understands what comes with owning a M-B and how it is the car to drive when going out on the town with friends.
