"'Go for Soda'" is a song by Canadian singer Kim Mitchell. It was released in 1984 as the lead single from his first full-length solo album, 'Akimbo Alogo'. The song reached number 22 in Canada and was Mitchell's only charting single on the 'Billboard' Hot 100 in the United States, reaching number 86. It remains his best-known song outside of his native Canada.
In popular culture
The song served as the campaign theme for Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD) in the United States.
It was featured in the opening scene of the 1985 'Miami Vice' episode "Buddies" and popularized in a series of television commercials for the soft drink Mr. Pibb. More recently, that ad campaign was lampooned by 'American Dad!', in the episode "A.T. the Abusive Terrestrial". The song was later used in the 'Trailer Park Boys' seventh-season episode "We Can't Call People Without Wings Angels So We Call Them Friends".
