Flat Eric

Remember those Levi’s commercials with a car driving down the street with a yellow puppet rocking out to electronic music? That little guy was Flat Eric.

“Flat Eric is a low-tech, yellow puppet character from Levi’s commercials for Sta-Prest One Crease Denim Clothing, built by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. His name comes from an idea for a commercial that included having a car run over his head and flattening it. The idea was not used but the name stuck. In the commercials, Flat Eric would ride with his friend Angel (played by Phillipe Petit) around California, evading the police as a wanted criminal.” – Wikipedia

So on this Throwback Thursday enjoy that beat and that funny yellow guy with the playlist I’ve put together.
