McDonald's Menu Song
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The McDonald's Menu Song was an instant-win promotion created as part of an advertising campaign, which ran from 1988 to early 1989. As the name suggests, the song, which was a remake of Reunion's 1974 hit single Life Is a Rock (But the Radio Rolled Me), incorporates all of the items (at that time) on the McDonald's menu; its lyrics were as follows:
Big Mac, McDLT, a Quarter Pounder with cheese,
Filet-O-Fish, a hamburger, a cheeseburger, a happy meal,
McNuggets, tasty golden french fries, regular or larger sizes,
Salads: chef or garden or a chicken salad oriental,
Big McBreakfast, Egg McMuffin, hot hotcakes and sausage,
Made with biscuits, bacon, egg and cheese, or sausage, danish, hashbrowns too,
And for dessert, hot apple pies, and sundaes, three varieties,
A soft serve cone, three kinds of shakes and chocolatey chip cookies,
And to drink a Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, an orange drink,
A Sprite, and coffee, decaf too, a lowfat milk, also an orange juice,
I love McDonalds good time, great taste, and I get this all at one place!
The good time, great taste of McDonalds!
Flexi-discs containing the song were attached to advertising sheets. On most versions of the recording, the singer was not able to recite the song perfectly from start to finish; when the singer made a mistake, the record was over. If the singer was able to complete the song, the record was a one million dollar instant winner.
