During the holiday’s it’s pretty obvious that time seems to get short. I’m willing to bet more American’s spend more time at fast food restaurants during the holiday season than any other time of year. What’s stunning is that people get very very testy when it comes to their food and the tradition in which it is provided. Mind you, I’m picky about where I’ll go for fast food as well. Especially since I’m used to buying organic and cooking for myself. Like other people, I do still hit the occasional fast food joint.
However, I’m not so picky that I would actually freak out if something was no longer on the menu. Yet, that is exactly what is happening for a Burger King advertisement or rather odd promotion. It’s called the Whopper Freakout. You can watch the video below after you’re done listening to the song.
The astounding thing about it is how serious everyone is. The people in the Burger King. The customers reactions to the news and how freaked out they actually are. In a way it’s a bit frightening. It truly is. Are you like this? Would you freak out if a restaurant decided to no longer offer a certain food? Why? Could the food be a drug? Could it be one of those crazy reasons that someone would pull a shooting over? Maybe this was the real reason behind the mall shooing or the new life church one. I hope not. But really, if something this small can put people on edge…
Would people be even more upset if Apple decided to stop making iPods? Now that is a question. Especially since Apple has a very unique cult following. If you spend anytime surfing the net when it comes to Apple products or when Apple fans are bashing Windows products it can be humorous to watch. Where is that passion when it comes to music? Or has it become so ingrained to download it that people wouldn’t freak over a musician or band throwing in the towel. That’s an experiment that should happen.
Until that experiment comes, let’s have some more holiday cheer. This little ditty was written by a couple of friends of mine, Kerry Getz and Stuart Pearson. This is obviously my rendition of their song. It’s one of those songs that I’ve come across where I’m like, shit, I should have been that clever. It’s very well crafted. There’s also some really cool twists in the music as well. The only way that happens is from re-working and tweaking. I really doubt the chord progression came first. I almost think the melody and the words preceded it and the chords were fit in. Either way it’s a great sultry holiday song. I’m honored they gave me the thumbs up to sing it.
Hopefully you’ll get your Christmas order.
