If Michael Jackson wants to work for Pepsi, why doesn't he just get himself a suit and an office in their headquarters and be done with it. -- Tom Waits
He was between labels, he'd just gotten married, and he needed the money. So Tom Waits decided that just this one time, he'd do a voice-over for a commercial.
He also vowed he'd never do it again. To my knowledge, he hasn't - in fact, he's sued and won more than once when companies used soundalikes.
Incidentally, the ad won several awards. So if he's going to slum, it's nice to know he's terrific at it.
