Titled, “The Joy of Dance,” the commercial features the Janelle Monáe dancing to hits from different musical eras. The spot begins with the Electric Lady cutting a rug to The Contours’ 1962 hit “Do You Love Me” before she shakes her groove thang to Madonna’s “Express Yourself” from 1989. The final scene see a modern Monáe dancing to the sound of her drum as she reinterprets Pepsi’s “Joy of Cola” jingle. While it might have been a little biased, we're a little bummed she didn't hit a Dab. 

No stranger to endorsements, the Wondaland Records boss also has lucrative deals with COVERGIRL and Sonos. She joins a long list of performers starring in commercials for this year's Super Bowl, including Lil Wayne for Apartments.com and Drake in a hilarious parody of his “Hotline Bling” video for T-Mobile. She also joins famous Pepsi spokespersons, including Ray Charles, Pink, Beyoncé and Michael Jackson. Check out the dazzling clip below and pick up a six-pack for the game to go with your Hennessy.
