SLiM: Two all beef patties...


I love our country. Yes, I am a very patriotic person, whether or not you believe it.

What I want to write about here is that I am fed up with a certain song about the U.S. No, it’s not G-d Bless America. I love that song. It’s not even The Star Spangled Banner, even though I hate the way that song revolves around The Flag. No, it’s a song that many of you out there probably don’t even know that it’s a patriotic song.

It’s The Big Mac Song.

Yep, many of you don’t know it, but it officially is an American song.

Here’s why. A while ago, a group of people made a survey of how many Americans knew The Big Mac Song, versus how many Americans knew The Pledge of Allegiance. The end results were astonishing.

More Americans Knew The Big Mac Song than the Pledge of Allegiance!!!!

I, personally have never gone to McDonald’s® and never hope to, and therefore shudder to think of pledging allegiance to the big Yellow M, and starting off the day with Two all-beef patties…

Just to tell people out there: In case you didn’t think so yet, the Big Mac™ is officially an American icon now.

  1. I don't know the Big Mac song (unless it's the "two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese..." thing).
    Does that make me un-American?

  3. I wonder how many people think the Big Mac song is the buger king song.

    I also wonder why it appalls you that people know this song better han the pledge of allegiance, when at the same time it bothers you that the Star Spangled Banner revolves around the flag. This confuses me..
