"Mercedes Benz" es un tema a cappella escrito e interpretado por Janis Joplin con la participación de los poetas Michael McClure y Bob Neuwirth y grabado en octubre de 1970 por Joplin. Janis le pide a Dios que si la quiere que le compre/regale un Mercedes-Benz, una televisión en color y "una noche en ciudad." El tema es un canto en contra del consumismo.
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a color TV?
Dialing For Dollars is trying to find me.
I wait for delivery each day until three,
So oh Lord, won't you buy me a color TV?
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town?
I'm counting on you, Lord, please don't let me down.
Prove that you love me and buy the next round,
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town?
Everybody!
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends,
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
#2 Es típico confundir a la persona con su obra. Lo que perdura es la obra, no la persona con sus defectos, virtudes, carencias, sentimientos, en resumen... ser humano.

Yonki de mierda, canta contra el consumismo pero murió de sobredosis de caballo, con las llaves de su Porsche en las manos.
Otro icono de la izquierda más, como Pablo Iglesias.
