@@yashironene7904 I love those who still embrace the true spirit of trolling. I'm going to miss all you guys once we have to register our state-issued IDs and the social credit system makes us obsolete pariahs.😂😂😂👍🏻
All throughout 6th-12 grade, this song essentially became known as my song. because I’d frequently sing it, much to the dismay of many, lol. 10th grade health, we watched Super Size Me. The scene where this song came on shows up. Everyone looked at me and was like “MIKEY, IT’S YOUR SONG!” I shot out of my seat, and started screaming the lyrics as loud as I could, in an almost identical Wesley Willis impression. (I can somehow form my vocal cords into his, like, Patrick Star-esque singing voice) It then got so loud the teacher had to kick me out of class. Good ol’ times. We still quote it today.
@@fiftyskoopaklub2982 lol, whatever you say, you can choose to believe whatever you want on the Internet but it did happen, I don’t even see what’s so unbelievable about it
This song is absolutely brilliant, it starts off like any other song would - it's a cool, calm and cheery melody as Willis describes McDonalds in a positive way; emblematic of how McDonalds presents itself in its marketing, but as it progresses he starts repeatedly shouting: "ROCK N ROLL MCDONALDS!

Lyrics: McDonald's is a place to rock It is a restaurant where they buy food to eat It is a good place to listen to the music People flock here to get down to the rock music Rock and roll McDonald's Rock and roll McDonald's Rock and roll McDonald's Rock and roll McDonald's McDonald's will make you fat They serve Big Macs They serve quarter pounders They will put pounds on you Rock and roll McDonald's Rock and roll McDonald's Rock and roll McDonald's Rock and roll McDonald's McDonald's hamburgers are the worst They are worse than Burger King A Big Mac has 26 grams of fat A Quarter Pounder has 28 grams of fat Rock and roll McDonald's Rock and roll McDonald's Rock and roll McDonald's Rock and roll McDonald's Rockin' with London Rock on Chicago Wheaties, Breakfast of Champions
Controversy and claims aside, WAY aside, Super Size Me was a rather entertaining and interesting documentary. I also remember seeing it on school, albeit Social Studies.
A stunning critique of capitalism. The duality of joy and sadness expressed in the lyrics is like the duality between the tasty treat of the moment, and the lifetime of health problems. The convenience and bright colours and corporate culture, with the death of small business and local economies. Willis illustrates the death of American culture, and its replacement by consumerism, but not without acknowledging his submission to it.
@@yellow_flag It may seem that way but it's actually not. There is humour in the song but it's not intended to be entirely comedic. The guy who made it was schizophrenic and had a hard life.
When I was in 8th grade, I was in an afterschool art class, that met every Monday. One day, my friend said "Wait! Guys! I have something I wanna show you!" and played this video. Most of us loved it and embraced it, while one of our classmates hated it, and said, and I quote, "This is what I hear in my nightmares." Eventually we started playing it at every meeting, to the point of us saying "It's Rock & Roll McDonald's Monday!" Every Monday, someone will send a text to our group chat and say "Y'all know what day it is?"
I thought I was the only one. It’s even worse that I don’t think I ever heard the song until now but I’d always hear that shit come to my head randomly.
If I remember correctly, Alternative Tentacles (Jello Biafra's [Dead Kennedys' frontman] record label) recorded the album this song is from. So yeah, pretty punk rock.

"Rock 'n' Roll McDonald's" by Wesley Willis offers a nuanced examination of the cultural and societal implications of fast food chains, particularly McDonald's. The lyrics celebrate the restaurant as a hub of popular culture and entertainment, a portrayal that aligns with McDonald's marketing efforts to position itself as a place for socialization and leisure (Klein, 1999). At the same time, the song acknowledges the unhealthy aspects of fast food, specifically the high fat content of McDonald's menu items, which may pose risks to consumers (McDonald's Corporation, 2021). This conflicting portrayal reflects the complex relationship between fast food culture and societal norms. While the song primarily focuses on McDonald's, it can also be seen as a commentary on the fast food industry as a whole. The reference to Wheaties as the "breakfast of champions" highlights the contrast between the unhealthy nature of fast food and the idea of nourishing one's body with healthy, wholesome foods (General Mills, Inc., 2021). This contrast speaks to the larger debate surrounding the role of fast food in society and the potential negative consequences of its widespread consumption (Schlosser, 2002). *In conclusion, "Rock 'n' Roll McDonald's" presents a multifaceted depiction of fast food culture, encompassing both the appeal and potential drawbacks of this aspect of modern society. Further research is needed to fully understand the cultural and societal impacts of fast food and to develop strategies for addressing the negative consequences of its widespread consumption.* References: General Mills, Inc.

does joking about this song count as clowning on him? it’s unironically one of my favorite songs because of how bizarre it is but i don’t mean to be hurtful when i joke about it
@@psychic_digit we are clowning on it, but not in a mean spirited way. Similar to the room or Troll 2, its so bad but its so good ironically that it becomes unironically good because you can appreciate the heart and soul put into it.
I remember I was watching super sized me in class and durring a climatic moment,someone pulled out there phone and started playing this... Best part is that it took me a couple minutes to figure out if it was part of the movie or not
i watched "supersize me" in health class like last year and this has been stuck in my head for around that long. i didn't bother to find it till now and i'm super glad i did 🥺 REAL music.
joseph blake It envokes a sense of nostalgia of the feeling of going to McDonalds and enjoying the rock music. The song is also talking about corporatism to an almost comical degree.
+big ol bazinga It's kind of sad how you think that's funny, the fact that I didn't even know it was a meme rather than a derogatory term proves that little kids like you made it yourselves at lunchtime at school.
When you realize that Wesley Willis made a more succinct portrait of American culture with a Casio keyboard and a microphone than the Beatles did in their whole discography
When you really think about it, Wesley Willis made a more succint portrait of American Culture than Chinese Ming Dynasty court musicians. The legend doesn't miss!
