If you've never had one (god forbid multiple) you'd understand. There should be a colored ribbon for hemorrhoid awareness.

They're making a joke that there's a company who promotes hemmeroids. Instead of hemmeroids cream.

if you’re putting food on your table by selling hemorrhoid cream then it’s in your best interest to promote both isn’t it

The first time I had one I almost fainted on the way to the toilet.
I then remembered a commercial about one of these creams that pictured a lady sitting in a red hot cooking mesh coil. People in those commercials really undersell how bad it can be. I've been several times without moving from bed because of it. On the other hand when I applied the cream I experimented instant relief, and I mean instant. It felt like magic.

Hemorrhoids feel more like someone's shoving a cactus up your butt, or like someone's driving a very large screw up your butt.
Personally as someone with hemorrhoids, I'd have laughed so hard at a commercial like that, it'd hurt my ass, it'd be absolutely hilarious.

Would you laugh your ass off at it?

Ah, but would it hurt enough that you'd race to the shop to buy the haemorrhoid cream? If so, it's successful marketing!

Honestly? Yeah, laughing hurts like hell.

The lyrics are fucked up if we're using "ring of fire" as a metaphor for an inflamed asshole:
>Love is a burning thing
>And it makes a fiery ring
>Bound by wild desire
>I fell into a ring of fire
[chorus]
>I fell into a burning ring of fire
>I went down, down, down
>And the flames went higher
>And it burns, burns, burns
>The ring of fire
>The ring of fire

Why'd you drag Elon Musk into this conversation?

To go down into an asshole wouldn’t the person need to be upside down?

As long as you don't pay attention to the lyrics, it makes sense. If you do, however......

Edit: sorry, all the hemorrhoid jokes come in a little later in the show

I'll give some background, Zappa was doing a show in 1988 and Johnny Cash was supposed to show up and play Ring of Fire with them, but his wife got sick and he couldn't make it. They did the song anyway, and then the rest of the night the whole band threw out different ring of fire/hemorrhoid jokes into several other songs.

Incorrect usage. It's the right song for chili commercials, not hemorrhoids.

I used to work with a guy who would sing all day long. Every time he sang Ring of Fire he would mention this fact and that he refused

It was in a Burger King commercial, so it was both ends.

I'm pretty sure Springsteen wrote Cover Me with intentions of selling it to an insurance company later on.

Wall of Voodoo cover of Ring of Fire:

This cover set them on their path of synth music for Westerns culminating in Call of the West, a brilliant album, most popularly know for Mexican Radio.

But the most inspired song on the album is the title track closing the album

Brilliant, brilliant music.
