“There’s nothing diabolical about this little follicle,” trills the chorus in this gleeful paean to the pube. 

Promoting the Venus for Pubic Hair & Skin range of grooming products, The Pube Song, created by agency Grey and directed by Sacha Beeley (through Grey's in-house production arm Townhouse) recounts the travails of a female stray hair from down there who bemoans the taboo about even saying the word, let alone the shame surrounding the fettling of ones furry bits. 

“You really can say ‘pubic’
It’s kinda therapeutic.”

The rhyming is daft but jolly – “what’s a curl to do?” she sings as the ad builds to a full showbiz number. 

The ad is part of a wider #SayPubic campaign to normalise the use of correct anatomical language 

A survey conducted by the brand this year found that 82 per cent of US women use slang terms to refer to their … erm… ahem... nervous cough… front bottoms, instead of using scientific terminology for the pubic area.
