Seal goes full seal in Mountain Dew’s wild Super Bowl Ad
By James Herring on Sunday, February 9, 2025
Mountain Dew will making waves at the 2025 Super Bowl with a bizarre yet brilliant ad featuring Seal – literally as a seal.
The 30-second spot transforms the 15-time Grammy winner into a realistically rendered sea mammal who washes up on Baja Beach to serenade Becky G with a “Kiss from a Lime.”
Inspired by Mountain Dew’s Baja Blast, the reworked version of Seal’s iconic “Kiss from a Rose” adds a citrusy twist to the ad’s surreal vibe.
“Baby, I compare it to kiss from a lime, on the bay.
Ooh, the more I think of it, it’s strange I’m a seal, yeah.
My flippers can’t hold Mt Dew
It slips right on through, what a shame.
There is so much a seal can tell you,
So much he can say.
Dew remains, my power, my passion, my flame.”
“I had a blast coming up with new lyrics and loved collaborating with their team to bring this campaign to life in such a fun and unexpected way,” said Seal.
