- I found this thing in one of my dad's records and found it too great not to share. I also shared it on my website www.earbleed.com. Fair warning: it WILL get stuck in your head.
When I was a kid I memorized this entire thing and amazed my friends at school, still to this day can recite it perfectly
I totally get it. To this day I still have the Burger King "Hold the pickles" and as well as the McDonald's Big Mac jingles stored in my brain taking up valuable space....At least they weren't as long as this thing.
Same!!
I'm singing it in my car right now. 😅
Me too
Congrats, your brain is successfully washed by a corporation
Great upload! They took the concept of "Life Is a Rock (But the Radio Rolled Me)" by the studio group Reunion and turned it into a song for McDonald's.
That Reunion song was also rewritten as a jingle for Tyson Mall in VA...
I lied to my brother and told him that if we memorized this we could go to McDonalds and get a free meal. So we memorized it one day and my mom took us to McDonalds. She told the guy behind the counter the whole deal and he gave us a free meal after we sang it anyway!
I should try that!

Casey Colson OK
I think that was actually part of the promotion, but it not, you probably owe McDonalds $10... .-.
They need to bring this back! lol
Markas Flood yeah, that'll be fun . Get away from all this crazyness
These days McDonald's now has a McChicken sandwich. Better hope you add that to the lyrics.
I totally remember this promotion. The good old days! :)
I have this in a box in my bedroom. :)
Whos from Larry
I remember singing this as a child . I'm 43 now. Thanks for sharing.
I remember that "record" had to put a penny on the needle because it was so warped
Me 2 lol
Same age as me. As soon as it started playing most of it came back to me like it was yesterday. We aren't old yet friend. 43 is the new 23 right? Lol
Me too! Hahaha! That’s great!
Same !!! My hubby didn’t remember anything about it so I had to find it lol
I won the million dollars and spent it all on Burger King.
I would love to see a video on this record.
Andy Mojica shame, the shame
Not true lol
Really? I call bullshit. There was an actual winner of the million dollar record out of Galax, Virginia, who goes by the name of Charlene Price. She reportedly used the money to buy the convenience store she worked at for herself.
Tommy's correct (although there's more to the story): munchies.vice.com/en_us/article/vbqwb4/what-happened-to-the-winner-of-mcdonalds-1988-dollar1-million-flexi-disc-contest?
Part of this promo was if you sang the song to the cashier you got whatever you wanted for free. I remember this for a fact because I got a few free meals from it.
DANG IT! I SHOULD'VE TRIED IT A FEW DAYS AGO THEN!
WHAT!? I never knew that! My best friend and I learned to sing the whole song in one breath when we were kids - I WAS ROBBED!! 😫
Something tells me if I had done that they would’ve just laughed at me and then given me a small order of fries.
The contest was trash, I didn't win but I did give it to my cousin so that he could sample the end part for a hip Hop song.
bitch please
I havent heard this song in 30 years...it was such a big deal being little and playing it on my brown and tan Fisher Price record player. ...thanks for the trip down Memory lane
I used that same Fisher Price record player to play my (non-winning) McDonalds record! Those were the days.
I also listened to my non-winning record on a tab Fisher Price player.
Same hear everyone. See what I did there?
THIS. Exactly.
💓Shared Nostalgia💞
5,000$ could get you a decent new econobox back then. Now what's little more than an oversized roller skate costs well over ten grand. How American currency became so devalued in a few decades. :-/
i'm glad i have proof this exists. i remember it so well, and yet no one believes me when i tell them mcdonalds once gave out records for a contest. i remembered that there was a dorky ditty, and then it would tell you that you lost. and here it is!
This randomly came in my head today... it’s been like 30+ years since I’ve thought of it or heard it. Thank goodness for RUclips - you can relive so many memories and get that nostalgic feeling.
I remember my parents telling me I was singing this as I came out from anesthesia from oral surgery 😂
I have no idea why my brain just remembered this oddity from my childhood at 5am on Sunday morning... I just know that life was a lot more interesting before the internet. I suppose this same song could have been tied to a TV commercial, or online ad, but the thought of having to produce millions of individual records for this promotion is crazy! I did learn this song as a kid too.
Flexi discs were cheap and the way to mass distribute something like this in the pre internet days. The one I had came in the Sunday newspaper (remember those?)
If only the Lost Media Wiki could get a hold of the winning version of this record.
This beat goes hard.
After listening I now have the sudden urge to buy McDonald’s
Life is a McRock, but the McRadio rolled me.
So this randomly popped in my head, and I said to myself, what the heck - see if it's on RUclips, and what do you know, here it is. Thank you for sharing!! #MemoryLane
I owned the record. I still knew 1/2 the song. 30 years later. Hate eating at the place.
Lol i had this on my Fisher price record player!!! This was the shit in the 80s! God bless the 80s
I'd really like to hear how the winning record sounded
My dad had a wholesale news distribution company (these were in the Sunday papers)... I probably took a few hundred of these home one Saturday. After like 10, you knew exactly where to drop the stylus. Never won anything.
Sad, I sorta wonder what the winning record sounded like.
Probably some cheesey "Congrats! You won the big prize" thing tagged on at the end
AJSSPACEPLACE I bet.
It makes me wonder if a winning record was ever made. I highly doubt it.
pollyisagoodbird That's a mystery!
Sing this song in a New York McDonald’s.They gonna look at you crazy 😭😭🙏🏼
When this came out...my older brother had a paper route. These floppy vinyls were delivered to our house in bunches for inserts. One for every paper. About 50 of them....that dude listened to them all thinking he would win. 🤣
This is the same tune as "Life Is a Rock (But the Radio Rolled Me)", composed by Norman Dolph (lyrics) and Paul DiFranco (music), and performed by Reunion, featuring vocals by Joey Levine. It was released in September 1974.
Somehow this popped into my head and I figured somebody out there must have either had it or remembered it and put it online.
You are that somebody, thank you LOL
I remember listening to this as a kid. My parents put it on to entertain me. I remember sitting through it and then taking it off and replacing it with Ted Nugent’s first album, or Rush, or whatever other albums my dad had laying around at the time.
Baby Shark before Baby Shark
80s. I was 10 or 11. Still have it memorized

"[GASP!] '... Oriental...' that's SOOOOOO freakin' RACIST!!!" exclaimed Caleb, a Gen-Z kid & self-appointed "Department of Wokeness: Language & Terminology Enforcement Unit" Officer.
I still own mine. Worked in Mc Donald's all through high school. 87-90.
I don't know how many years later, but I still have it memorized up to "Big Big Breakfast". How much important info have I forgotten because this damn song is taking up space in my brain?!?
McDonald’s menu song: 9.9 TB
Important stuff: 10 KB
Brain: 0 KB of 10 TB remaining.
I just heard Savage Garden's "I Want You" and it totally reminds me of this song.
Exactly! Good one!
Big Mac, Mc DLT, a Quarter-Pounder with some cheese, Filet-O-Fish, a hamburger, a cheeseburger, a Happy Meal, McNuggets, tasty golden french fries, regular and larger sizes, and salads, chef or garden or a chicken salad Oriental. Big-Big Breakfast, Egg McMuffin, hot hotcakes and sausage, maybe biscuits, bacon, egg and cheese or sausage, danish, hash browns too, and for dessert: hot apple pies, and sundaes three varieties, a soft-serve cone, three kinds of shakes, and choc’laty chip cookies, and to drink: a Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, and orange drink, a Sprite and coffee, decaf, too, a lowfat milk, also an orange juice. I love McDonald’s good time,great taste, and I get this all at one place.
In case you wanted to practice
Oh jeez the subtitles, turn on captions!
I still have a few of these tucked away.Thanks for sharing!
had this record as a kid, and yep memorized the whole thing, still knew the first few lines
me too I just sang it for someone and then googled it, finding this video haha
You are the G.O.A.T for uploading this!!! Like the nostalgia is on 💯 right now
I was 10 in 1988 jamin out to these beats. Memorized most of the song to which I still find myself singing today. Thanks for posting this. I was 10 for 2 mins.
I haven't heard this in maybe 30 yrs.Sad that I remember this right when it started playing.
This record is shit food make u shit
yeah. im almost 40 now and mcdonalds commercials do not exist like they did back in the 80s and 90s.
I remember find this in the Sunday paper
Does this remind anyone else of the Barenaked Ladies?
At least they make the tune easy: There's only one note.
This was from the 80's, not the 70's. I used to have this as a kid.
This is a different version than the one distributed in CA- the ending is a lot shorter, saying "Check out those coupons" and not much else.
That's how the fuckers got me .
0:19 top 10 rappers Eminem was afraid to diss
I bought one of these at an estate sale awhile ago. Of course, it wasn't a winner... Not that it matters, since, if I were to bring the winning record into my local McDonald's, they'd probably think I was insane.
I wonder who actually won the Million Dollars?

Banger alert
Ronald spitting some facts
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had this! I was so mad when they didn't cheer at the end! LOL Knew EVERY WORD!!
they sound like 1980s hanna barbera cartoon lol
GREAT nostalgic moment....Thank you VERY MUCH!!!
Grimace reaper
you predicted it fellow battle bricks player
I can still do this silly song through the salads with no mistakes. And my mom thought the Big Mac song from her generation was cool? Puh-Leez!
we're sorry, but you didnt win the grand prize! check out our other menu items, the next time YOU stop by our store! lol. the eighties music was fun, wish it would come back anew
I just wanna hear the WINNING RECORD?! Why is that so hard?! 🤔🙄
I remember this!!
I was 12!!
THEY LIED!!!
Well at least I never got my million $$!!
I did just about as good in the Pepsi Challenge!!
Omg still can sing this
I remember my mom getting the album when I was about 6 years old...the contest for this was the biggest thing going at the time. Talk about great advertising, back when McDonald's actually tasted good...by the way, did anyone ever really won that contest?
if they did. it wasn't talked about heavily . someone probably claimed it silently.
Some guy out of Virginia, I think. There’s a vice story on it
McDonalds still tastes good brother. Big Mac rocks.
I'm over here just wondering if anyone actually won this prize or any prize from this recording. Its not easy 😂
I used to hear this when me and my friend were jumping on my bed..memories
Big Mac, Mc DLT, a Quarter-Pounder with some cheese, Filet-O-Fish, a hamburger, a cheeseburger, a Happy Meal.
McNuggets, tasty golden french fries, regular or larger size, and salads: chef salad or garden, or a chicken salad oriental.
Big Big Breakfast, Egg McMuffin, hot hot cakes, and sausage. Maybe biscuits, bacon, egg and cheese, a sausage, danish, hash browns too.
And for dessert hot apple pies, and sundaes three varieties, a soft-serve cone, three kinds of shakes, and chocolatey chip cookies.
And to drink a Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, and orange drink, A Sprite and coffee, decaf too, A lowfat milk, also an orange juice.
I love McDonald’s, good time great taste, and I get this all at one place.
@MrBobTomato They should. They really should. And they should put me in the commercial since I learned this song when I was a kid.
Can't believe McDonald's ripped off Skee-Lo.
Now this is rap!
Now call up "life is a rock but the radio rolled me" by REUNION (1974)!
What a terrible version of the menu song.
The public learned your Big Mac song and your menu song, your pushed it and it failed miserably.
I remember I could sing this song backwards, when it came out around 87-88

and I get this all at one place...
I remember getting this record in the newspaper.
They had ONE job.
My daughter is starting orientation at McDonald's today. I had to show her this. She's nervous.
I remember this....thanks for sharing!!!
I still have my record from this contest.. I vow to hunt down this singing group as they cost me $1 Million...:P
I used to love McDLT and Chicken Salad Oriental.
I remember having this record 😂😂😂 I'm now 45 and I definitely remember memorizing this
I remember getting this in the Sunday paper.
Wow those old flexi discs had a lot of surface noise. Yet the song is coming through very clear. The composers did a very good job of making sure that the octaves of the song could overcome the general crappiness of those discs.
The song itself is very catchy, but the chorus sounds like it's composed of mannequins. This was disturbingly common in all kinds of commercials during that era and I found it to be very grating. Overly fake, and I don't know why this was so commonplace back then as this is no way to build trust and it seemed like they were hiding something.
listening to this i remember the movie Supersize Me where Morgan Spurlock ate at McDonald's 3 times a day for a month and damn near died from it. i used to eat McDonald's breakfast every day before work about 12 years ago. i'd get a sausage mcmuffin with egg with hash brown and a large orange juice. and of course i'd slather the sandwich and hash brown with ketchup. good god i'm lucky i didn't die of diabetes or a heart attack. i haven't eaten mcdonald's food in years and i don't miss it.
We didn't start the fire......
Oh my God that records square!
It was from 1989, though this is a different version of the record than I have. The announcements at the end are totally different from the ones I had. At first, I thought I was the one that had to memorize the song and then sing it the next time I went to McDonalds, but then I got to the end of the record and I realized it was the vocalists on the record that had to sing it right. I memorized the song anyway. Still got it down pat too, though I run out of breath by the time I got to the drinks.
Somewhere there exists a copy of the winning record with the version of the song that won. That woild be so amazing to hear.
Yeah I remember this,but for while I thought Burger King did this.
Like to get this record tho
WE’RE GOING TO MCDONALD’S LAND WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
Came in the Sunday Chicago Sun-Times 89-90?
I have to post this on Facebook to see if anyone else remembers this. Hope it is okay.
Is the winning record posted on RUclips?
Does anyone happen to know who directed that commercial?
OMG. I just time travel.
This sure is a long song to sit through to be told you didn't win when I imagine sodas at the time already had caps that said "Sorry, please play again" underneath.
Chicken salad "oriental?" Lolz, not these days.
Why did my brain hold on to this song for some many decades but I forget all my important passwords the moment I create them?
I wonder if anyone ever one. Lol. Thanks for sharing.

wait the ''were so sorry'' part was different tho
Watch this with captions on. You're welcome ;)
I remember this
I bet this is the filet o fish milkshake song lol I remember it from grade 3 lol. Thus one sounded different than the original.
My copy of this was not treated so well, so when I tried to record it, it's very scratchy. This sounds pretty good considering it's essentially a piece of cardboard that was delivered inside a newspaper 20 years ago. Thanks for posting it.
I leaned this when I was in 7th grade in 87-88. I still remember it.
^%4K you kids. You cost me a million dollars!!!
