OUT FOR A SIP - FRIGGIN' BUDDY v COKE - OFFICIAL VIDEO
OFAR -

Hey Buds!
Here's the scoop. I was grocery shopping in T'ranna, and by pure coincidence, stumbled upon a bottle of Coke, with "Out For A Rip" printed across the front. As you may or may not know, that happens to be the name of a song i wrote that made a fairly significant impact here in Canada. I also own the trademark for the phrase. (see link)
The bottle is being used as part of a music promotion by Coca Cola which allows folks to scan their bottle with their smartphone to bring up an online music playlist. The "Out for a Rip" playlist, for some reason, does not contain the song "Out for a Rip".
Soon after making this discovery, i was flooded with reports of these bottles popping up nationwide, and decided it was time to respond to this seemingly unlicensed use of my intellectual friggin' property. With my lawyer, Rob Kittredge, (RKIP.ca) I decided the best possible course of action would be to detail the whole ordeal in a music video that also serves as my legal demand letter to Coca Cola. I hope this answers some questions for all those who've been enquiring. Friggin' right on.

LYRICS
so get this, right,
it’s may 2-4 weekend, we're out on the lake
kickin back fishin with the bros
got a full deck of darts
(OUTTA BREWS CUZ THE BEER STORE’S CLOSED) (long weekend, eh)
so i open up the cooler
got some oj, purple stuff, sixer o’ coca cola
and that's when things get weird
go to grab myself a pop
what's this right here?
(FRIGGIN’ BOTTLE SAYS OUT FOR A RIP ON THE SIDE)
look at it, look at it again, show buddy, (YAH RIGHT)
like isn’t that the song i wrote, made a video
got it played eleven million friggin’ times or so?
and then my phone starts blowin up with buddies sayin where they seen the bottles friggin’ showin up
Vancouver, Montreal, gas station on the 401
WINNIPEG AND SOMEWHERE UP IN NORTH SASKATCHEWAN
unreal, so i peel out right quick
and wheel er to to the lawyer figger’ what the friggin’ deal is.
JUST OUT FOR A SIP ARE YA BUD
JUST OUT FOR SIP?
i’m at the lawyers right
Buddy, Buddy & Steve,
where i filed my trademark paperwork in 2015
(so buddy's like) ALRIGHT LETS GETTER DOWN TO BRASS TACKS
they used your trademarked phrase and didn't ask? (nope)
THEY’RE JACIKIN’ YOUR BRAND AND YOUR PERSONALITY RIGHTS,
I CHECKED MY RECORDS MAN, THERE AIN’T A LICENCSING AGREEMENT IN SIGHT.
i’m like bud, look, it's probably just an honest mistake
he’s got me walkin’ on crutches, AND A NECK BRACE!
don’t get me wrong - the whole things upset me
so much i guess i’m gonna have to switch to sippin’ Pepsi
WHOOOO - it’s just right weird.
since i’ve got friggin’ registered trademark right here
says mugs, cups, all kinds of drinking vessels
online music t shirts, bumper stickers and tea kettles.
pretty legit, right, (yup)
we'd better grab a pen and get to sendin' a
