Rick from Brooklyn, Ny, Ny'I've had it in the ear before' is a reference to the fact that Van Gogh supposedly cut off his ear as a tribute to a prostitute.

With this campaign, he got paid, and not eager to bite the hand, said, 'I actually enjoyed Royal Caribbean's usage. Pop controlled the rights to his performance of the song, which is what Royal Caribbean used, but couldn't stop companies from using re-recorded versions which often appeared without his approval.
