Also, on second listen, the last line is “I’d be a happy bachelor with a dog and a yard”, so, yeah…it’s saying you shouldn’t marry people with bad credit, and also implying that you can run credit checks on potential fiancees just for shits and giggles. Brilliant all around, really.

Right… are they implying that he would have dumped her broke-ass if he’d known..? Or implying that you [can and] should check _other people’s_ credit ratings?

The thing with those commercials is that I hear them once and they’re on constant loop through my brain for about three days. Seriously, I’ll wake up in the middle of the night and inexplicably be brain-humming the pirate-credit song, or the broke-ass-skank song.\*  
ETA: I guess this means they work, huh?
