Esso

Esso /ˈɛsoʊ/ is an American brand that is the American trade name for ExxonMobil and its related companies. The name is a phonetic version of the initials of the pre-1911 Standard Oil (SO = Esso), and as such became the focus of much litigation and regulatory restriction in the United States. In 1972 it was largely replaced in the U.S. by the Exxon brand after it bought Humble Oil, while Esso remained widely used elsewhere. In most of the world, the Esso brand and the Mobil brand are the primary brand names of ExxonMobil, with the Exxon brand name still in use only in the United States alongside Mobil.

History

In 1911, Standard Oil was broken up into 34 companies, some of which were named "Standard Oil" and had the rights to that brand in certain states (the other companies had no territorial rights). Standard Oil of New Jersey ("Jersey Standard") had the rights in that state, plus in Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and the District of Columbia. By 1941, it had also acquired the rights in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Louisiana. In those states, it marketed its products under the brand "Esso", the phonetic pronunciation of the letters "S" and "O".

    Heads Will Roll

    by: Yeah Yeah Yeahs

    Off with your head
    Dance 'til you're dead
    Heads will roll, heads will roll
    Heads will roll on the floor
    Glitter on the wet streets
    Silver over everything
    The river's all wet
    You're all cold
    Dripping with alchemy
    Shiver stop shivering
    The glitter's all wet
    You're all chrome
    The men cry out, the girls cry out
    The men cry out, the girls cry out
    The men cry out, oh no
    The men cry out, the girls cry out
    The men cry out, the girls cry out
    The men cry out, oh no
    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    Off, off with your head
    Dance, dance 'til you're dead
    Heads will roll, heads will roll
    Heads will roll on the floor
    Looking glass, take the past
    Shut your eyes, you realize
    Looking glass, take the past
    Shut your eyes, you realize
    Glitter on the wet streets
    Silver over everything
    The glitter's all wet
    You're all chrome, you're all chrome
    Oh, oh, oh
    Off, off, off with your head
    Dance, dance, dance 'til you're dead
    Off, off, off with your head
