Washing clothes. Cooking dinner. For a video call.
All this time I’m singing it in my head. The cry in my brain is, “GREAT, BETTER, BETTER, BETTER.”
Walking the streets: Bullet, Bad, Bad, Bad. Bathing: The killer. Looking in the middle of the distance, considering the fragility and fragility of life: GOOD, GOOD, GOOD, GOOD.
Some of you know exactly what I’m talking about. Some of you probably don’t watch sports. That’s because if you watch any game – I’m a casual fan – then you’ve seen and, above all, he heard the same Burger King commercial over and over again.
That Whopper song. It’s definitely a jingle hit. And, after nearly 1,000 people have listened to it, it’s probably a few words that burrow into your brain like cattle protozoa. NFL fans, in particular, are affected by the jingle. Most die-hard fans spend all Sunday in front of the TV and, for whatever reason, Burger King must think NFL fans love fast food too. I can watch one game every week and even Me I feel like I can repeat all the words.
“Whopper, Whopper, Whopper, Whopper,
Junior, double, triple,
Impossible or bacon,
I rule today,
In BK, follow your path,
You rule!”
The song is sung in a clear, clear voice. It sounds amazing if the player is I Think You Should Leave the legendary Sam Richardson. In fact, until writing this article I was sure he called. Richardson, perhaps hearing a lot of complaints, tweeted that it was no he behind the jingle.

With ditty lasers in their temporal lobes, fans began to turn The killer jingle in meme. That’s a wide variety Reduce Your Hassle music – comes in at inappropriate times or when things get difficult.

Worse (or better?) however, there are several variations on “Whopper Whopper Whopper Whopper.” For example, there is a long version(Opens in a new window) that goes to burger toppings and the like. You are not safe from a Whopper attack.
There is a reason why sales are gone therefore insects. One reason: It’s a great jingle. Like, sorry, I know it messed with the brains of the American people but it’s cool. Simple, nice, very annoying. Also, NFL football remains America’s closest thing to a single cultural event. Of the 25 most-watched programs last year, 22 were NFL games(Opens in a new window). There is nothing else like it. If you have a great song, and you play it on NFL Sunday and away more likely to capture it than to connect it to any other form of pop culture. Burger King was smart that way.
The song went from good and catchy, to annoying, and now good again – or funny – because of its ubiquity. The NFL season, however, is coming to an end. There are only two weeks left.
Until then: GOOD, GOOD, GOOD, GOOD.
