“A.D.I.D.A.S.” is a song written and recorded by American nu metal band Korn for their second studio album, Life Is Peachy. It was released as the album’s second single in March 1997. The title is an acronym for the statement “All Day I Dream About Sex” and indirectly refers to the popular sportswear brand Adidas. The whimsical backronym from the brand name dates to the 1970s.[4] “All Day I Dream About Sex” was a recurring joke in the sports shop where Jonathan Davis worked in the early days of Korn.[5]
As Korn began to perform, the clothing style he used was an army green jumpsuit but he began to be questioned by the Adidas tracksuits.[6] After examination, he drew a “Korn” logo on a tracksuit with a pen and presented it in live performances that included the bagpipes.[6] Davis said about Adidas that “It was about breaking the mould, man … it was about going against everything that metal was supposed to be”.[6]
