Lil Yachty Serves Remix To Iconic McDonald’s “Menu Song”
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Lil Yachty has gone from working at McDonald’s to working with McDonald’s. On Tuesday (April 2), McDonald’s Canada released a new ad featuring the artist. Yachty remixes the restaurant’s 1980s “Menu Song.” The colorful reimagining follows the original opening line, “Welcome to McDonald’s, may I take your order, please?” as the rapper delivers his order drenched in auto-tune. Naturally.
Yachty journeys through Mickey D’s menu as he attempts to order everything available at the fast food joint. “Can I get a Big Mac, McWrap, McFlurry, and a McDouble? I’m a keep it real, I need a Happy Meal, a McCrispy, and ten McNuggets,” he raps. “Tasty golden fries, a cold drink with extra ice, a junior chicken would be fire, and a sweet hot apple pie.”
The ad itself is a colorful and zany take on the stuffy corporate visuals of the original commercial. Scenes find the artist taking his order at McDonald’s surrounded by tons of Yachty clones, a fish eye shot of the artist in the restaurant, sitting on top of (extra) ice cubes, serving fresh hot apple pies from a cartoonishly purple house, rhyming on a golden brick road, and so much more fantastical settings. Yachty spoke about the opportunity to work with the Golden Arches after once working there in his youth.
“Going from working at a McDonald’s in Atlanta to collaborating on the ‘Remix Menu Song’ with McDonald’s Canada is a wild full circle moment that brought back memories and is such a reminder that anything in life can happen,” Lil Boat said in a statement.
Mike Clay, who helped produce the “Menu Song Remix,” also issued a statement regarding the new partnership. Clay hopes that the jingle “gets Canadians in a good mood next time they order.” “When McDonald’s reached out and asked me to get creative with their Remix Song, I was like, ‘Oh que oui!’ Working with such an iconic brand has been nothing but fun and inspiring,” he said.
McDonald’s Canada offers a remixed menu along with the remixed song. From April 2 to April 29, the Canadian establishments will offer wild combinations to customers, creating new takes on old favorites. Items on the Remix Menu include the Chicken Cheeseburger, Surf’ N Turf Burger, Sweet Chilli Junior Chicken, and the Apple Pie McFlurry.
