As a Type II diabetic:

fuck

As a punk:

All I wanted was a Pepsi
Just one Pepsi

*Diet Pepsi contains sucralose, not aspertame, so I guess I'm good (for now)

Just looked it up on Youtube. Holy shit, that was amazing. Perfect update to the original. It doesn't have the punch the last verse of the original did, but otherwise it's fantastic.

In my area they phased aspartame back into Diet Pepsi, which pleases me. I unabashedly love aspartame sweetener.
