MCDONALDS - 1969

"MCDONALDS - THE MUSICAL !!!"

Why don't they make commercials like this anymore? The new commercials that center around McD's really are not very good. They are rap influenced and hip hop flavored nonsense about how hot the people are eating this... food.

I like the goofy musical versions better. This theme song is familiar they used to run a jingle of it before all the Bob Hope holiday specials in the 1970's. There was a great mood that generally surrounded television advertising back then. It was entertaining.

Nobody is walking around with this suppresed violent tone about them. There are no rap or heavy street themed people in this clip. It comes off looking like the I Love Lucy Show.... And thats good. This shows America as a happy, non-depressing place. That may have not been the case in the grand scheme of things, (Manson went on his killing spree in 1969) but yet the media front painted a glorious picture of happy times.

Speaking of Good Times.. check out the black guy dancing around with the hot mop -- thats John Amos who playsed the dad on Good Times.

DYNOMITE !!!
