The next time you call Geico and can't get someone on the line consider the possibility that the office may just have broken out into song. This video, apparently created for Geico employees' own amusement, features real Geico employees hammering out a power ballad (sample lyric: "We'll guide you through it step by step. Twenty-four-seven, we'll be there for you.") Of course, I'm saving the best for last. It's not often you get to see one of the world's richest men rocking out, so you may want to hang on to the end to witness a bewigged Warren Buffett (whose Berkshire Hathaway owns Geico) in action. How'd he do? Well, he's no Jimmy Buffett.

LOVE IT!
Rock on, AXL Buffett.
I'm sure that Buffett has some GN'R stock somewhere...They were the last "true" rock band.
Buffet is not the world's richest man. That title belongs to Carlos Slim now.
Forever Young Warren! You are an amazing guy, keep up the good work.
I do kinda miss Warren the Whip tho. If Schumacher can jump back into F1 any chance we will see the Whip back in action?
I thought Warren B. looked more like Ozzy Osbourne than Axl Rose.
Right On KB. He does look like Ozzy if he'd lose the bandanna and kilt...
Warren, you seem adorable and I even own a few shares of BRK.B but this was one of the most annoying television ads that I have ever seen. I love "The Gekko".
I work for Liberty Mutual......I now want to work for Geico!
What has happened to America that senior management and their marketing departments now put together call center videos! Buffet's an billionare and the rest of us work in call centers. It makes me just want to put my head in my hands and weep!
I love this commercial, it near about brought tears to my eyes, it was just that beautiful!
Rock on Warren!
LOL, Mr. Buffet, that's hilarous! I wish you the best!
I've been a fan of Warren Buffett for years and I LOVE the video!
Best wishes, Warren!
Sincerely,
Micheal Flessas
you made me laugh, u make me proud... so nice!!! love this video!!! yahooo
Unless you work there, you're kissing some major ass, or you have no real sense of humor and you write "lol" everytime you think something's funny, this video is not funny.
I THINK HE NEEDS TO GET OFF HE ASS AND GO SEE HOW HIS COMPANY SHAW CARPET WORKER ARE NOT SINGING AND DANCING ,BECAUSE AFTER WORKING IN ONE OF THESE MILLS YOU CAN BARELY WALK. I KNOW I CAN BARELY WALK BECAUSE I WORK THERE FOR 21 YEARS. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE HIM WORK OUT ON THE FLOOR OF ONE OF HIS YARN MILLS. AND SING AND DANCE LIKE SOMETHING STUPID .I CAN NOT STAND THIS MAN. HE NEEDS TO GIVE HIS SHAW WORKERS A RAISE THIS YEAR. NOT THIS MERE $300.00CHECK DOLLARS, THEY ALL NEED A $20.00 DOLLAR RAISE YOU IDIOT. YOUR COMPANY WORKS A PERSON WITH OUT GIVING THEM A BREAK FOR 12 HOURS. WHEN YOU ARE SHOWN WORKING IN A YARN MILL WITH SWEAT RUNNING IN THE CREAK OF YOUR ASS THEN ALL YOUR YARN WORK'S ARE SURE TO WATCH. UNTIL THEN GO HIDE WITH YOUR LIZARD . AND QUIT WORKING YOUR WORKER LIKE THEY JUST COME OUT OF A CAVE. YOUR EX-WORKER
Rock on Buffett!
