Throwback Thursday: Something Something Bossa Nova

Former 49ers head coach George Seifert may be the most underrated or overrated 49ers head coach in history depending on who you ask. But one thing is certain: he makes a good Visa commercial. That is, if you consider horribly acted, poorly sang renditions of “Blame it on the Bossa Nova” as great marketing material.

Oh and it was, because it makes me want to choose Visa over MasterCard and American Express right now. Visa struck commercial gold with this 1995 gem where the 49ers head coach sings the aforementioned song to an unimpressed crowd with some members of the team supplying backup vocals and maracas.
