Buckwheat Groats' Million Dollar Menu is even better than Shira Miss Muffin's classic Pound On My Muffin. [Hat tip to John Biggs, who has also been having fun with telemarketers lately]

    I’m lovin it

      agreed

    Reminds me of the “SFC Fried Chicken” song:

    i think the mcdonalds at the 7-8 second mark is the one right off st marks in NYC…i’ve been to that one a few times

  • http://twitter.com/raywongy Raymond Wong

    Agreed.

  • msbpodcast

    Yo… Word to the wise… I still ain’t eating McNothing. That stuff’s vile.

  • Snig

    It’s impressive to have music that starts with airhorns, and then manages to go downhill.

    • Rich Keller

      I haven’t watched it yet, but are you saying that it has autotuned vuvuzelas?

      • Snig

         No, the sort of airhorns used in boating, to convey distress.  Vuvuzelas, especially autotuned, might be preferable.  Save yourself. 

        • http://www.facebook.com/difascio Matthew Michael DiFuccia

           I see someone is lacking in the sense of humor department.  This was made for fun, right?

          • LinkMan

            Fun?  This video is a p0lyrhythmic existential statement in counterpoint.

            Also, fries on boobs.

          • Snig

             I’m just an old coot, don’t mind me.   I don’t mind so much the kids on the yard or even a baseball through the window.  But the song just made me feel a boat somewhere was in trouble, so I found it jarring. 

        • Historybuff

           Reminded me more of the typical sounds of an English football match.

    • bcsizemo

      The airhorns are in a lot of the popular rap/R&B stuff in the recent year or so.  Much like sirens and handclaps were big in the electronic scene at one time.

      • Snig

         Interesting, thanks.  Kids these days. 

      • oasisob1

        I thought the point of that on radio was to keep people from effectively copying (and distributing, maybe) the song. Seemed like a stupid way to do it.

        • bcsizemo

          Never heard that, but perhaps…

          But it’s still in lots of songs (mostly used as an intro, or before the “drop” or chorus):

          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vxNlT7gHKo

          Or for the times when you need instant on demand air horn action:

          Perhaps the next fad will be with the Inception horn:

          Personally I prefer the air raid siren:

  • Bart

    Is this the American Die Antwood?

  • Bob Cosmano

    This is probably the worst Buckwheat Groats song, but it’s great that they got so many McD customers involved.  They’re never going to top Dinner Table Game:

  • Palomino

    I don’t know if it was intentional, but the Flaming Homer (Simpson) drink’s secret ingredient is cough syrup. Absolutely hilarious. 

    • stovedoor

       see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_drank

      • hardwarejunkie9

        I was posting this as well. It was so well timed that when I tried to post it, I saw it come up as under stovedoor. I actually did a double-take and made sure my user name hadn’t changed or other such shenanigans.

  • BrotherPower

    Not that I ever go to McDonald’s, but this is the kind of thing I would have thought was high-larious before having kids, but now would just piss me the fuck off.

    Guys! Guys! Language!

    • Nathan Estabrooks

      word.

  • MetalPorkchop

    So all I could think while watching this video, is that he’s wearing a sparkling cardboard wiener around his neck, cause he’s so fat – probably from McD’s and the like – that he can’t see his own.

    • mattcornell

      That’s really all you could think?

  • bcsizemo

    Ba da ba ba, Domino’s

  • http://profiles.google.com/joshuabardwell Joshua Bardwell

    This is so much better than Pound On My Muffin. No comparison.

  • travtastic

    I can’t even enjoy this as much as I want to, because I’m so jaded that I can’t stop picturing it as astroturf.

  • David Kopelman

    I feel violated and unclean.

  • http://twitter.com/beep54orama B E Pratt

    I still loath/hate rap and/or hip hop. This doesn’t help at all.

  • Teller

    The great thing about rap/hip-hop is we don’t have to give a fuck about objectifying women. It’s so…liberating.
