Burger in the Sun?

6.12wendys.jpgWhy yes, that is a song about masturbation being played in the latest Wendy’s ad.

What would Dave Thomas think?

Now, back in the day, Wendy’s had some of the best ads, even if you exclude the “Where’s the Beef” mega-meme.

Of course, poorly chosen music in fast food ads in nothing new. A few years back, McDonald’s ran an ad plugging their french fries, using The Shins’ “New Slang” for background music. A brief excerpt from the lyrics - “New slang when you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries. Hope it’s right when you die, old and bony.”

  • Hmm, I was expecting “Turning Japanese”.

    So, you know how Steely Dan got its name?

  • And then there’s the Morning Wood song in the Mercury commercials, in which they spell M-O M-O-R M-O-R-N-I-N-G W-O-O-D.
