《Mercedes Benz》由美國搖滾歌手Janis Joplin於1970年創作並演唱，收錄於其遺作精選專輯《Janis Joplin's Greatest Hits》。該曲誕生於戰後消費主義盛行的社會背景，以無伴奏形式融合布魯斯搖滾風格，由Joplin與Michael McClure、Bobby Neuwirth共同完成詞曲創作。
歌詞通過三重遞進結構，反覆祈求上帝賜予賓士車、彩色電視等物質商品，以黑色幽默諷刺物質至上的價值觀。清唱演繹突顯沙啞聲線與戲謔內容的戲劇反差，形成世俗欲望與信仰訴求的荒誕並置，成為Joplin標誌性藝術表達的縮影。

歌曲歌詞
Oh Lord won't you buy me
A Mercedes Benz
My friends all drive Porsches
I must make amends
Worked hard all my lifetime
No help from my friends
So Lord won't you buy me
A Mercedes Benz
Oh Lord won't you buy me
A color TV
"DIALING FOR Dollars"
Is trying to find me
I wait for delivery
Each day until three
So oh Lord won't you buy me
A color TV
Oh Lord won't you buy me
A night on the town
I'm counting on you lord
Please don't let me down
Prove that you love me
And buy the next round
Oh Lord won't you buy me
A night on the town
Everybody
Oh Lord won't you buy me
A Mercedes Benz
My friends all drive Porsches
I must make amends
I Worked all my lifetime
No help from my friends
So Lord won't you buy me
A Mercedes Benz
