So, that bacon cheddar ranch commercial...

[conuly]

For those who (happily) haven't seen it, it's vaguely akin to what I've seen of Japanese commercials, but... not.

Some guy (who apparently is Hootie) is standing in a very fake cowboy outfit, and he starts to sing, to the tune of Big Rock Candy Mountain...

Well, I can't type out the lyrics. The full commercial (which I'd never seen, lucky me) can be found here. It's really scary. The scariest part of it, though, is that the sandwich actually sounds really good, but I can't fucking get one because of that stupid commercial!!!! Argh.

And I know I'm slow, but it was in The Boondocks today, so. If you really want the lyrics, they're here.

Edit: So, wait, did none of you connect lyrics to images? You didn't realize that the woman with the huge cleavage appears with the line "the breasts they grow on trees", or that the women showing off their butts appear with the "train of women coming with a nice caboose" line?

We've got boobybabe during the line "the breasts they grow on trees" and the sexy women on a trainthing during the "train of women coming with a nice caboose" line - how doesn't that hit you as sexual? And the line about dallas cheerleaders giving you a shave...

Eh, guess I wasn't listening to the lyrics! I really hadn't noticed any of those lines, though I didn't understand half the lyrics coming from Hootie in the first place. (Maybe it's just me, but he sort of mumbles through most of the song.) I still find it pretty funny, though that's more for the surreal images than the song. :P

You're the first person I've heard mention it who brought up the sexual lyrics. No one in my family that I've seen the commercial with mentioned it; they just thought it was weird. I remember reading a short blurb about it in an Entertainment Weekly from a few weeks ago (mainly about the "What?!" factor of Hootie being in a Burger King commercial) that actually agreed with me in it being funny in its trippiness. Boondocks was more about Hootie, too.

So, really, is it that obvious? Just curious, not trying to say it's a perfectly appropriate commercial since nobody notices the lyrics. Did you catch on when you first saw it? Did any of your family/friends think of the sexy girls and lyrics when they saw it? Have you read any negative articles regarding it? I'm surprised that with how uptight people get about sex on TV nowadays (Nipplegate/Monday Night Football + Desperate Housewives, anyone?) that this isn't all that controversial.

I don't know that most of my family has *seen* the commercial. I thought it was pretty obvious, though, and it came up in a few places online.

*shrug* Maybe it's just my family.

You've gotten me curious, so now I've got to Google this and see what pops up about it. :P
