When Shirley Temple was around four years old, she participated in this series of shorts called “Baby Burlesques.” In one, she poses as a bar maid while scrappy boys dressed like seedy men court her with progressively larger lollipops.
That’s pretty much the idea behind “Maracas,” a festive Axe/Lynx ad that seizes upon one of the more prominent songs from the Beetlejuice soundtrack as ambiance for hot afternoon maracas-shaking. In this case though, everyone’s safely over the age of 18.
The lesson to learn: he who wields the biggest maracas, whatever his other merits, always gets the girl. And Axe will give you mighty fucking huge ones.
