Our McDonalds commercial...
So we were working on scratch tracks and the lead singer refused to do anything with this song. He said it sounds like a freakin McDonalds commercial...

So we changed the words and made a McDonalds commercial. Seriously...

What do you guys think- was he right or what! He KILLS it on the chorus!

Sadly thats not really possible. We had 3 owners of McDonalds contact corporate for us and it went nowhere.

As usual, they like most, use an ad agency...

The singer had his agent try and still nothing.

Thanks though!

contact the ad agency yourself. This sounds good. If the singers agent has no swing at the ad agency he may need a better agent.

At the very least I'd post a youtube video of you recording it and see what happens. One never knows....

I think the drums are a little too heavy for McDonalds otherwise real good.
