Burger King Commercial

there’s a burger king commercial that has the line “ya gotta be burger best, ya gotta be burger king” - WHAT TUNE IS THAT?

i keep thinking it’s sublime’s “date rape” and that’s just so bad. Especially since it includes the line “shut up we’re going to do it my way.” So I keep hoping it’s another song that just reminds me of that song. Or maybe a tune that provided the basis for that song. Or convince me that whatever similiarity i am seeing does not actually exist.

Please, someone tell me otherwise.

This commercial? - YouTube

I don’t recognize the tune, but I don’t think it’s the same as “Date Rape”.

For comparison:

My poor effort to transcribe them:

To throw a burger fest, it’s a big burger thing
E G F E D E, E E E E D E

You gotta be burger best, you gotta be Burger King
E G F E E D E, E E E G G F E

As opposed to:

Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know, had a drink about an hour ago
E E F E D D# E E E, E E E E E E G F E

I’m not sure that’s right, but at any rate they’re similar but not identical.

For some reason, it rings mad bells in my head, and the only thing I have matched it to (even a little bit) has been the date rape song. I feel like I should know the tune.
