Manning Brothers NFL DirecTV Rap Video 2014: Eli, Peyton Star in Another Music Video (Video)
They've done it again. Peyton and Eli Manning are back promoting consumer goods, and this time they're performing a rap video for DirecTV's new fantasy football channel.
Last year the brothers performed a rap to promote "Football on Your Phone." Because of its success, DirecTV decided to have them do it again.
This video is different than last year's '80s-themed ad. That video attracted 8.2 million viewers on YouTube. This video features some cheerleaders dancing suggestively in all black attire, the brothers rapping and some cameos from Chris Johnson and Joe Namath. The entire video is over three minutes long.
There's funny lyrics like this:
"There's a fantasy channel that you've got to see," (Peyton)
"It's like a fantasy football fantasy," (Eli)
"Like catching a football that came from me." (Peyton)
"Then opening it up -- there's nacho cheese." (Eli)
It's actually a pretty catchy song that has some nice usage of autotune and audio mixing.
The Manning brothers look quite comfortable rapping in the video. Peyton is wearing a white t-shirt, jeans and a silver chain while his brother Eli chose to wear some camo pants, a grey long-sleeved t-shirt, dog tags and a flat-brimmed hat. Eli definitely looks more like a rapper than Peyton does.
There's some weird elements in the video, like Johnson acting as a barber and giving a young man some dreadlocks and Namath cooking stew with someone's mother. Then, the entire Manning family floats in space for some reason.
Peyton Manning sure appears in a lot of TV ads and he's pretty good at it. He's involved with Papa John's Pizza parlors and he actually owns over 20 locations. He also endorses General Motors' Buick cars.
For your entertainment, here is the video:
