David Bowie And Tina Turner Revisit “Modern Love” For Pepsi “Creation” Commercial In 1983

David Bowie and Tina Turner joined forces for the cinematic Pepsi commercial titled “Creation” which debuted on September 11, 1987. The high-concept advertisement features Bowie as a mad scientist working in a laboratory filled with gadgets and gizmos. In this sci-fi narrative, Bowie accidentally spills a bottle of Pepsi on his computer, triggering a series of mechanical eruptions that culminate in the creation of Turner as his ideal rock-and-roll partner. The duo performs a specially recorded version of Bowie’s 1983 hit “Modern Love” while dancing under an explosion of sparks and a neon Pepsi sign. The Choice of a New Generation, indeed.
