You Got the Right One, Baby
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You Got the Right One, Baby was a popular slogan for Pepsico's Diet Pepsi brand in the United States and Canada in the early 1990s. A series of television ads featured singer Ray Charles, surrounded by models, singing a song about Diet Pepsi, entitled "You Got the Right One, Baby". Part of the song included the words "Uh Huh!", which (as part of the ad campaign) were featured on Diet Pepsi packaging.
Although others have made claims, the song was written (as a love song) in 1989 by Arthur Takeall of Annapolis, MD and first performed over radio station WEBB in Baltimore. Takeall has a registered copyright on the song.
The song's title quickly became a catch phrase across North America, and was referenced in various television shows and movies of the time, including The Cosby Show and Rookie of the Year.
