Did you read the Undefeated piece on this? Selling out is not a big concern for Tag Team and they in fact drove the commercial to be what it turned out to be.

"Scoop" for "Whoomp" isn't great, but "choco-lata, choco-lata, choco-lata" is A+.

That article mentions Salt n Pepa's "success" from their Geico ad, and they were one of the acts I felt bad for (I never thought of them as a novelty act or one hit wonder, but the ad somehow seemed imply both). It's like, the idea of your song and your continued existence is inherently funny.
But of course I'm ignoring all the 16 year olds that never knew that song before and do now.
I guess I'm just a rockist curmudgeon.
