United Healthcare: Prostitute Message?

Recent commercial from United Healthcare:



This is a great example of an unfortunate (or purposeful) advertising experience. The ad is fine, the message works, but then there's the music behind it; it's Lykke Li's "Get some" and the music at the end applies to the lyrics:
Like the shotgun need an outcome
I'm your prostitute, you gon get some

What?

In its own right, it's a catchy song and Lykke Li a talented artist I've been listening to for a while. But does United Healthcare really want to posture itself with the refrain of a song that includes the word "prostitute?"



Your thoughts and comments are welcome.
