Girls Generation + Cup Noodle X Bubble Bobble =?

The oddest combination of ingredients ever have somehow found themselves into a genuine tv commercial for some Korean cup noodles.

Girls Generation, a bunch of teen K-pop starlets (and long time favourite of this blog), are doing the natural Asian girl pop thing - pimping product. Nothing unusual about that. The choice of theme song IS somewhat odd though.

It's not one of their tunes, or a variant on a traditional ad jingle like the Aya Matsuura Pretz CM's. No, it's a crazy take on the Bubble Bobble theme. Aye, you heard. Bubble Bobble, Taito's classic bubble blowing, girlfriend rescuing, cutesy dinosaur adventure. I don't recall noodles being involved in the game. Every other foodstuff going sure, but not noodles...




Surely only a matter of time before Girls Aloud are shifting Daz with the Jet Set Willy theme, or Sugababes are selling dog food to the sound of Rainbow Islands.
