You Got the Right One, Baby
- You Got the Right One, Baby
"You Got the Right One, Baby" was a popular slogan for Pepsico's Diet Pepsi brand in the United States and Canada from 1990 to 1993. A series of television ads featured singer Ray Charles, surrounded by models, singing a song about Diet Pepsi, entitled "You Got the Right One, Baby". Part of the song included the words "Uh Huh!", which (as part of the ad campaign) were featured on Diet Pepsi packaging.
Others have made claims that the song was written (as a love song) in 1989 by Arthur Takeall of Annapolis, MD and first performed over radio station WEBB in Baltimore. Takeall has a registered copyright on the song.
According to the unofficial Prince lyrics website, "Databank Transcription Team," or DTT, the unreleased outtake, ""Uh-Huh!" is a blues-tinged number built around a funky bassline which Prince wrote for Ray Charles for use in a 1991 Diet Pepsi commercial. Reportedly, Prince received $7 million for the slogan. The lyrics are about the virtues of a positive, spiritual frame of mind." Prince has a registered copyright on this song (dated 10-15-1991.)
The song's title quickly became a catch phrase across North America, and was referenced in various television shows and movies of the time, including "The Cosby Show," "The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air," and "Rookie of the Year".
