Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
Some people don't feel this way, and I respect that because when that person is Ron Artest, they might beat the hair off you for disrespecting their taste in commercial-based dance music. Artest, in the midst of a press conference after the off-the-mat Rockets victory over the Lakers in Game 6 of their playoff series, shared his very definite opinions on the topic of ad jingles that should be pumped in the club.
"Five dollar footlong is one of the best songs, that’s a hot song. You’ve got the freecreditreport.com, and then five dollar footlong comes on. When five dollar footlong comes on, they should play that in the club. They should play all those in the club."
DJ! Hit 'em with it:

We saw that dance in game 4. It’s called the "Flop and Whine Like a Little Girl."

I can’t stand the free credit report guys either. Truth be told, I can’t stand the "5 dollar foot-long" subway commercial either. The sandwich is good though, lol.

He perfected it in game 6.

New half-time gig if the Rockets pull off a second upset in L.A.

Ron Artest is quickly beating out Gilbert Arenas as my favorite personality in the nba

As a St. John’s guy and someone who grew up poor in NYC but now has some coin…a guy like Ron Artest, I’d pay considerably more than $2,500 to watch the winners here tell Ron-Ron he ‘flops and whines like a little girl’.I’ll even throw in a $5 footlong AND a free credit report for their troubles!

Both those songs rock, I totally agree (not the version embedded in the article, but the commercials). $5 Footlong is hot, once again agree.

ron-ron and gilbert arenas should take the comedy act on the road. and on a sidenote, i hate those freecreditreport.com dudes with a passion.

I’m with Vagabondguru on this one. I’d also like to see people say sh*t to A-Rod’s, TO’s, McNabb’s, Kobe’s, LeBron’s, Dwight Howard’s, etc etc. Oh and let’s throw in Pietrus, since people seem to think that they’re tougher than him and could take an elbow to the throat from somebody like twice their size while being sandwhiched and taken out at the lower half of their body by somebody who’s a bit shorter but pretty built at the same time.
For the record, I like those freecreditreport.com songs, and the original 5 dollar footlong(not the redo with all of the weird dancers). Hell, it’s a lot better than the "ringtone music" that is so prevalent these days.

It’s log, it’s log
It’s big, it’s heavy, it’s wood
It’s log, it’s log
It’s better than bad, it’s good!
Now THAT song should get a little spin the club. DJ Powdered Toast Man spinnin’ all the hits!
..now let’s see how many people get that one.

Apparently, Subway on U.S. Military bases do not honor this promotion, so be happy you can get a sandwich cheap.
