Her name is Nicole and she dances on the sand
I'm not sure Simon Le Bon and his mates had Brazilian body wash in mind when they sang "Rio" back in the early '80s, but here it is.
Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls has recorded a throughly modernized pop version of the Duran Duran tune to promote Caress Brazilian Exotic Oil Infused Body Wash. (Or as I call it, "soap.") Click here to hear the song and watch the commercial.
