  • Salespeople take the mic (a la Da Bears' "Super Bowl Shuffle") to rap about why you should buy from Trophy Nissan in Mesquite, Texas. The dealership uses the "TROphy, TROphy, TROphy Nissan" part in its ads to this day, and it's posted a full one-minute version of the song at • Trophy Nissan Rap Song... - with a note indicating they might be bringing it back! Awesome!

    I remember back in elementary school , in the lunchroom everyone broke out and sung this song.
    If you grew up in Dallas in the 80s - you know this song.

    I grew up in Dallas, and I remember this commercial. Definitely sticks in your mind. The guy with the shades on who cuts in still cracks me up.

    I wasn’t alive when this came out. I see where that TROPHY TROPHY TROPHY NISSAN comes from now. I found something new to annoy my wife to.

    That little guy with the shades and the low voice couldn't look more like a 1980's car salesman if he tried.
    The audio portion of this ad is currently playing on Sportsradio 1310 / 96.7 The Ticket.

      That little guy with the shades was a guy named Doug Smiril, he was in the Boz Scaggs band playing guitar and keyboards on Boz's first 2 albums, he also taught Boz to play guitar in high school at St. Marks where they had a band named The Marksmen including the legendary Steve Miller. He was an extremely talented musician. Boz's record company replaced the original band members including Doug with the studio musicians / guys from Toto.

    How I remember this growing up here n Dallas. Looking back they probably were spoofing the Chicago Bears SB shuffle. They still use that 'trophy trophy trophy' n some of their commercials today. My fav line: 'you can by it from a lady, u can buy it from a guy!'

    I wrote that tune. Long story but I knew the VP at Trophy and she used to laugh at my ansering machine messages. She asked if I could write a funny promo for Trophy. This was the result.

    This was produced in the 80's by Boz Scaggs' guitarist and pianist from the 70's, Doug Simril, who was working as a salesman at Trophy Nissan at the time. He's the guy flipping his sunglasses in the video.
    Here's Doug's guitar work from 1971: ua-cam.com/video/71n4RsoJYIQ/v-deo.html
    That's him on the upper left of the album cover.

      No such thing exist. We could say blacks to go back to wear leaves instead of underwear since this is cultural appropriation according to you and some other mentally ill people.
