As Hong Kong companies get more and more social media savvy, it seems that we are destined to willingly consume and share their hilarious and witty advertisements. Lucky them!
McDonald’s has just released a hilarious parody of an old 90s love song, but, this time, instead of being about a human love interest, it’s about… a Big Mac.
Redditor phalius_maxmimus (we’re sure he’s real proud for thinking of that username) explained that singer Ram Chiang released his original hit over 20 years ago.
Chiang’s singing career is going through a revival with his portrayal of a washed-up singer in a new TVB drama, and, naturally, McDonald’s saw an opportunity to sell their pseudo-food.
The fast food company made the perfectly cheesy 90s music video, complete with mysterious shadows, hazy camera effects, and heads of cabbage soaring through the air in slow-mo. And don’t forget the Chinglish!
phalius_maximus also kindly posted a translation of the song:
怕吃錯 但我豈可輕放過
Scared of eating it wrong. But, it’s time to let it go.
問此刻世上 經典漢堡有幾個
In this world, there’s only several classic burgers
街坊親友加 fans
My dear neighbours, relatives, plus my fans
隨隨便便嗌個做民調
Feel free to do a poll
Big Mac 也一定 win
Big Mac will definitely win
雙層牛classic Big Mac
Double patty classic Big Mac
醬汁加青瓜相遇 onion
Mac sauce and pickles meet onion
配番芝士生菜 sesame
Plus tomato, chesse, lettuce, and sesame
人人食過食過食過食過又笑又叫好味
Everyone eats it again and again, smiling, and praising
要去醫肚 McDonald’s
To cure hunger go to McDonald’s
相逢何必曾 Big Mac
Where you wish you had a Big Mac
你請高舉雙臂咬落嚟
Let’s give it praise and admire it up close and personal
人人食過大笑大讚勁笑勁讚力撐好味
Everyone’s smiling, cheering and praising its taste
勁鍾意 因 Big Mac 確係經典
Yes, it’s true. The Big Mac is a classic.
也許天天可以既話 准許我多吃一次
If I had a choice, I would eat it everyday.
Big Mac 梗要孖住嚟
Big Mac always comes in twos
來讓我食呢一個先
Let me eat this one first
編寫吃的經典
For its taste will go down in history
Is anyone else really craving a Big Mac now? Maybe some McNuggets? At least an Oreo McFlurry, surely…
