Return of the Mac
"McDonald's has offered to pay top hip hop artists to incorporate the 'Big Mac' into their song lyrics. According to Advertising Age magazine, the fast food chain will pay rappers up to $5 every time a song namechecking the burger is played. McDonald's said the US deal reflected the appeal of hip hop to young people."Words fail me. So, instead of coming up with some (c)hip hop lyrics of my own, I've reappropriated some old songs in the hope of making a tidy sum myself. Well, it beats eating the burgers.
Takeaway That - Relight My Frier
Donna Summer - McBurger Park
Los Del Rio - BigMacarena
Madness - Bagel Trousers
Fleetwood BigMac - Little Fries
Martha and the McMuffins - Echo Belch
Bobby McFlurry - Don't Worry, Eat Happy Meal
Deep Fried Something - Breakfast McMuffin At Tiffany's
Sarah Brightman - I Lost My Heart To A Quarter Pounder
John Travolta & Olivia Newton John - Grease Is The Word
I'm sure you can do better (I recommend this search engine to help you) and maybe you'll find a song about artery-clogging that I missed. Suggestions in the comments box please.
