Here's another Target commercial. This one is supposedly in English, but IMO much more confusing than the one this thread is about, and shows how "different from mainstream" they try to be in the music they select for their commercials.


ART CONNECTS (Target Commercial) (Sha Cage + e.g. bailey) - YouTube

The "hip" are now called "hipsters". They like wearing beards, wearing plaid shirts, and they drink weird brands of beer, you usually see them with a different brand each time. They like cats for pets, they don't like to be called hipsters, you never want to call them that for some reason.

Apparently they've started doing all their shopping at Target because Target's Spanish music ads snagged them.

Target failed to use la cucuracha in one of their commercials and instead used another Spanish song.

My life is over.

Definitely a first world problem.
Allow an inch, and then we are now thinking we live in a foreign country....

Right, anything for a buck! Snub English speaking Americans to make a profit off of people who shouldn't even be here and are so in violation of our laws. Is that really your mindset? As for legal immigrants I don't see those businesses catering to any others than the Spanish speaking ones.

I don't speak Spanish but totally understood the commercial.
