I’m hoping someone might recall any McD’s jingles from the 1970’s. Ideally, I’m trying to recall a spoof of this jingle popular amongst us kids…maybe from camp? Not sure how it started… I may be confusing two McD’s jingles, but I’m WAGging that the jingle may have started like this: "McDonalds, Mc Mc burger! McDonalds, Mc Mcfries. McDonalds, Mc Mc…? Well, this may be one candidate jingle (above), anyhow! But the line I recall from the spoof (when we were kids) going around at the time said something about “french fries between your toes; hamburgers up your nose…” Any crazy kids of the 1970’s recall this? It’s amazing how no one knows how these things get started; yet, every kid at the time would have known this silly spoof…spread simply by word of mouth! Anyone care to WAG with me? - Jinx ---

The one we sang was: _McDonald’s is the place, They serve you ratlesnakes! Hamburgers up your nose. French fries 'tween your toes. The day that I went there. they served me underwear. McDonald is your kind of place._ Three variations found [here](http://www.inthe80s.com/mickeyd.shtml). ---

The oldest gingle I remember is “two beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese… …pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun…” I’m not sure if that dates back to the 1970’s though. I do remember being in elementary school and hearing all sorts of parodies of that jingle. ---

> [@](#): > > The oldest gingle I remember is > > “two beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese… > …pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun…” Anyone remember the commercial where the kid says it backwards? I watched so much TV as a kid that I can still say it that way from memory! Comes in handy when someone thinks they’re cool and can remember it (forwards). Happens, oh, twice a decade or two… ---
