That was only because the BBC saw it as advertising which they are not allowed to do.

I don`t think there is anything saying you can`t mention brand names in songs.Obviously if you are going to write a song about how crap a product is they might not be too happy about it but i`ve heard loads of artists mention products before & nobody has said anything about it.

I`m sure if you mentioned coke in a song & it got to No1 they`d see it as free advertising
