McDonalds Piano Recital commercial

[tbstoneaxe]

This is the first time I heard this song. Took forever to find the actual name of the song! Luv it!

[neighborhaber]

playing piano with pencils at >>> neighborhaber on youTube

[fluterific00]

what is the actress' name?

[litedatah]

Taught myself how to play this song on my piano by ear from this commercial. It was my inspiration that broke my curiosity for piano.

[VideoGuy84]

All you anti- McDonalds commenters can shove it up your ass. McDonalds doesn't make you fat laziness does.

[TheLilballer04]

Oops and some fries?

[Multisaralynmusic]

She's adorable so good

[Lupton2000]

Where's Buzz (of Home Alone) when you need him?

[Lupton2000]

If I were the girl's father and brother, I would have booed at her and thrown things at her after she finished. This stupid girl I'm sure brought shame and disgrace to her family and for generations to come.

[Aephqan]

I can't think of the girl's weight now. :D

[mohinderbauer]

They cut out the end of the commercial where the father scolds the girl for taking artistic liberties with Beethoven. Then he drives home the lesson by slamming the piano lid on her fingers.

[kaykay5799]

what is the name of the song she is playing

[Rubiy6]

[LHMB424]

I'll be thinking of this video all day and tonight when I present my portfolio for my Master's Degree!!!!

[benwwe2011]

@LHMB424 Your Master's Degree? You have no curse. If you have no curse, what will happen if the 9/11 celebration comes when America needs what America wants most?

[LHMB424]

@benwwe2011 Um, I don't understand. I meant to say it was a comforting sort of nostalgia for me. Obviously you like to blow up peoples' pages with comments though. Good luck with that.

[benwwe2011]

@LHMB424 Ok, I will. Oh, By the way, I will comment about your user. I like yours.

[MrCorporalTunnel]

She wrote her own lyrics to Fur Elise while she was playing.

[sweetmiley100]

She looks like the Wendy's Girl

He should have said

"we will all go to Fu$@%#^ Wendy's when you are done."

[SuperAnimelover97]

omg i should sing that song in my head like seriously LOL

[adelyzavala]

i love this

[adelyzavala]

i love this 

[samdoofy]

Wow, she fucked that up bad. And it's longer then 30 seconds. McDonalds is your reward? That sucks.

[MrCorporalTunnel]

@samdoofy

How did she 'fuck that up bad?' are you some kind of connoisseur of classical piano music? I admit the commercial is cheesy, but so are most of McDonald's ads and so are their cheeseburgers, so... win.... this is, especially for the era.

[francis43123]

I Want To Learn How To Play "It's A Good Time For The Great Taste Of McDonald's" Tune On The Paino. Nice Commercial.

[princessdaisy41]

lol

[visor109]

"MAYBE, we will all go to McDonald's!" Sorry, they went to Wendy's!

[benwwe2011]

@visor109 This "Distraction of the Century Moment" was brought to you by...SnivyCo. SnivyCo. America's Telecommunications.

[9BiggestFan]

What's that piano song the girl was playing?

[Fjones397]

@9BiggestFan fur elise

[ChristmasApe1]

So am I the only one who to this day cannot hear Fur Elise without thinking of these lyrics?

[Buffy8Fan]

@ChristmasApe1 I do too.

[Pattonfrodo]

and also whoops ......lol always loved that part.....tho Beethoven may not be happy

that this girl would rather eat then play "Fur Elise" ! lol

[mccarrpo]

Sadly, after this piano recital, her dad did not take her to McDonald's but instead beat her ass with a belt for messing up at the piano recital.

[ALXVid101]

When it's over we'll go get you some heart disease and childhood obesity in a bun, yummy!

[kellyberry]

man i miss the 1980s thumbs up if u grew up in the 1980s like i did

[rhode74]

I was looking for this because I remembered it from when I was little. WOW! Do I feel old now! '86!?! Mentally I still feel like a teenager, does that count? lol

[VASINGER]

i remember this one! I was 6 or 7 at the time. The little girl is about my age. scary.

[davortenej]

mcDonalds kill a manny people

[ytcomposer]

This cracked me up as a kid. I loved "Fur Elise," and it was so honest about what a recital feels like. Anyone else inspired to play piano by this commercial?

[101winja]

wow im flattered

[shunt1974]

this acautly inspired me to learn paino

[johnnyjules2008]

@shunt1974 Yeah, Paino Lessons are cool.

[amirfishkulish]

Lol it's Fur Elise..

[Pilotsofer]

wtf was with the ending??

[SalukiHawk1972]

@Pilotsofer McDonald's jungle for much of the late 80s was, "It's a good time, for the great taste, of McDonald's", sung to the tune she played on the piano. They were trying to incorporate the jingle in a memorable way.

[BlackStallionWoman]

Aww.

[YourSkankyMom]

"Dad, I don't wanna touch it! You're giving me the Uh-Oh feeling!"

"It's ok sweetie, maybe we'll go to McDonald's later"

[elprobear]

lmao "maybe" we'll all go to McDonalds.....oldest trick in the book

[mamallama99]

There, are you happy you parents who cannot play the piano? Now bring me to McDonald's do I can eat away my feelings of rage.

[titans0002]

We are still filling our kids' head with this type of garbage. Chocolate shake, cheeseburger, and fries? We're talking about 1500 to 2000 calories, maybe more. I remember this commercial very vividly, and thought I would laugh and be in a sentimental mood when I saw this, but I'm more disgusted than anything else. This is appalling. How many kids have Type II diabetes because of this? McDonald's you should be ashamed of yourself.

[SalukiHawk1972]

@titans0002 Lighten up. McDonalds doesn't cause type two diabetes. Over consumption of ANYTHING will. Exercise and portion control are key. It is about common sense. Have you ever stopped to think that some people just want to eat that way? Maybe they like it and don't care all that much about how they look. We take our daughters to McDonalds about once a month, and I still enjoy a cheeseburger and also, whoops, and also fries. Stop trying to be crusader fand focus on yourself your family.

[EpicPrincess100]

@titans0002 Well,It depends how much you eat mcdonalds often.

[mamigirlo3]

that girl must LOVE mcdonalds "after the recital" dad: "okay kids lets go home" girl: "but dad what about mcdonalds?" dad: hahahaha lying to your kids saying you'll go to mcdonalds is the oldest trick in the book!

[RCA76]

Those of us that grew up in the 70s and 80s were promised just that: "go do (the task) and we'll go to McDonalds". LOL!!

[JohannaGotTalent41]

@RCA76 Yes we were ... come on we do the same thing to our kids!!! Mc donalds works people has for over 50 years

[gymnast768]

that dad used the oldest trick in the book and this girl fell for it.

listen, kiddies, "maybe" is code for "NO".

[natteah]

Does anyone know what's this girl's name?

[heine71]

And also oops! and also fries!

[iknowdasright]

I remember this from 1986. Thanx for the Memories.

[TattooBull]

how was it "Recital" ?

[Tatyanapianista]

Bellissimo video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cocoaben]

i remember when this was on TV, i still love it.

[GianniBarbarona]

nice rectal!

[sarahdynomite]

My mom taped The Wizard of Oz off of TV when I was a kid and this was one of the commercials on there. I must have watched it every day. This song has been burnt into my brain for about a zillion years. I sing it sometimes. in the shower mainly. Its pretty good. improves upon the composers original vision, definitely. definitely.

[pgy002]

@sarahdynomite Me too!!!

[DenmarkSuck]

1980's and Mcdonalds forever

[exbronco1980]

maybe her parents could have said "if you screw up this recital, we'll take you to mcdonalds."

[pgy002]

@exbronco1980 Huh?

[exbronco1980]

@pgy002 like going to mcdonalds was a punishment. i was making a joke.

[pgy002]

@exbronco1980 Ah I see, everyone has to ahve the 21st century sarcasm to it.

This commercial was from a time when things could be sweet and warm.

[rub2out]

Man, that bitch wanta go to McDonald's pretty bad (the jingle refrain at the end of the piece is my primary argument.

[TheElite3740]

what is this shit ?

[pgy002]

@TheElite3740 A lot better than the stupid ass commercials on today, idiot!

[MsPinkcurls]

hahaha..this is so funny..i should just think like her on my recital..XD

[bashora33]

I used to annoy my brother and sister two years straight by playing a video of the movie Annie with this commercial on it. Good times!

[award2218]

i wasnt born until after this but my brother was born around this time and taped everything he ever watched practically. i wish i could go back to those days :( lol i remember how freaked i was at my first piano recital, but i actually didnt mess up. i did forget to bow though...

[ultrakev9]

For 24 years, I have been unable to listen to Flur de Lis without singing these lyrics with it! :P

[dyonker]

My mom would have kicked my ass royally if I had ad libbed the McDonald's jingle at the end of a a song that I played in a recital

[tubasaur]

@ultrakev9 I have the same problem, but for me it's Fur Elise.

[slatter93]

@ultrakev9 I thought it was just me. I love this song but I can't get these words out of my head, especially the high pitched "mine" that she does.

[ultrakev9]

@slatter93 : I know, right?

[AloraPfalzenfurter]

@ultrakev9 oh my god same here!!!!!

[myk908]

she's just like my baby sister. she'd practically do anything for mcdonald's. hahaha

[katiemc66]

I STILL play the "it's a good time for a great taste of McDonald's" tune on the piano after all these years because of this commercial!

[luisybren1]

this is so funny!!! i remember it from when i was a child....especially the "my dumb brother" part. thanks for posting.

[BlackStallionWoman]

@luisybren1, " it's my dog brother."

[Supablonde1]

@BlackStallionWoman It my "DUMB brother,not dog brother"!!!!!!

[BlackStallionWoman]

@Supablonde1, not when I heard it,

[Supablonde1]

@BlackStallionWoman well listen again and its pretty clear, saying my dog brother sounds too mean for a friendly family restaurant commercial plus it doesnt make sense.

=)

[benwwe2011]

@BlackStallionWoman You might be disturbed by a a friendly family distribution center, you DUMB, back-stabbing fish ball!

[BlackStallionWoman]

@benwwe2011, shut the fuck up you son of a bitch. I heard it wrong, dumbass.

[benwwe2011]

@BlackStallionWoman Oh, you did not just say that.

[BlackStallionWoman]

@benwwe2011, sorry for that misundertanding. I just got a little offended about what you said.

[benwwe2011]

@BlackStallionWoman It's OK. I got a little disrespectful for all that stuff.

[grapefruitm00n]

Is the dad the same pedophile dad from Airplane 2? They look somewhat similar

[koffefaces]

please, write smb words of this song

[sociopathpsych]

the dad sounds like regis!

[Buffy8Fan]

I have had this memorized and sing it regularly (I don't know why) for over twenty years.

I think it was my first experience with who Beethoven was.

[mariamichelle236]

I did too! This commercial was totally my childhood inspiration for wanting to take piano lessons, lol.

[katiemc66]

Me too!

[delightedkat96]

and also WOOPS && also fries lol! that was cuute! ♥

[rulegm]

NO NO NO NO NO!!! I'm sorry I wasn't specific. I meant I would've been considered the dumb brother in my family. Not because of intelligence but by just acting dumb and goofy all the time, even during serious instances like at recitals, at church etc. Sorry for the confusion.

[rulegm]

AHAHAHAHAH!!! I used to love this commercial because I was the "dumb brother"!!! LOL! It just put a smile on my face today. Thanks to the poster for uploading this!

[tob606]

rulegm: are you the little boy in this video?

[FrutySmoothie]

Lovely :)

[Adrianbruno1987]

hahahaha love it!!

[goodlove42002]

wow they love to brainwash kids.

[Disneydanny]

0:49 the kid's all "I don't know that girl!"

[BigBlueBeast]

I used to sing the lyrics to this song everytime I heard Fur Elise played.

[kevinlol87]

I used to masturbate to fur elise.

[smellyhobo98]

umm ok?

[scorpius319]

you're a fucking moron

[alisowels]

i STILL sing that song when I hear Fur Elise, to this day

[RainShowers2505]

So do I! I can't hear the song without thinking of the commercial.

[rikko338]

Enough of this so called comedy little brother bashing!! It's offensive, and i'm hungry!

[gderjeff]

I remember this commercial. cute.. I still sing it to my kids now. They think I'm weird.. oh well..

[pgy002]

@gderjeff I feel sorry for kids today, they missed a time when things could just be sweet and innocent.

[Shadia0909]

lol that was cute and funny

[badassbroz]

you should be a professional lyric writer! lol

[kimbobdude]

HAHAHA lol you made me laugh more than the commercial did xD

[morikahjo]

awesome song!!!

[tnmtemerity]

@puffrooster Maybe that has happened to her and she should do a follow up.

[DenmarkSuck]

@puffrooster shut up

[puffrooster]

@DenmarkSuck You must be a McDonalds employee, an unemplyoed poet or a failed musician, Denmark?

[itshammer]

@puffrooster an unemployed poet hahahaha that is fucken funny

[sy9593]

@puffrooster oooh my gooood loloolollll xDDD

[puffrooster]

@sy9593 oh thank you so much, your too kind ;-)

[godfatheralexio]

@puffrooster truth

[radioboy75]

@puffrooster You. guys. need. to. get. a. grip! Are you sending your kids to McDonald's on a daily basis??? Then yes, it's awful. If it's a *treat* like it should be -- like once every three months or so -- it's not that bad. MODERATION people. McDonald's isn't evil. But you can't eat it every day! Morons!

[FastFoodies]

Brings back Saturday morning memories.

[ReAnimatedDedMunkE]

20 years later, this kid has lost a leg to diabetes and is 400 pounds over weight. lol

[puppyshoes]

[NoobUBoob]

[LadyReginaSmiles]

I remember playing Fur Elise during my recital 100 years ago.

[blackshogun77]

lady regina, what was the world like when you were a girl. I'm a bit of a historian / story collector. If you dont respond its okay.

[happycappy1307]

aw thats so cute!

[blackshogun77]

ths was back before they put black people in macdonalds commercials

[umberto44]

I hate niggers

[pizzintea]

Amen

[morechicharonesforme]

Their almost as bad as the fucking Krauts.

[thetachisly]

OMFG its about time somebody said it. As soon as they learned black people would buy it, they went totally overboard.

[ukendcx2000]

they had some commercials that one could easily construe as being racist, not sure why they weren't advertising to blacks all along though ...

[KlutzBites]

and also whoops ;D and also fries lmao sooo cuteeeeeeeeeee<3

[KillerBroadway]

Aw... why can't commercials be cute like that anymore?

[blackshogun77]

@KillerBroadway killer, you asked what killed nice commercials. Here is the answer. The grundge movement of the 90's was anti establishment centered and very nihilist in its approach towards life and found fault in everything nice and happy. That mentality not only took ove the airwaves in terms o music but spread to movies and even tv commercials. Nowadays its popular to have commericals where people are either angy or sad and depressed.

[ZX2ManDave]

Her parents beat her when she messed up. Poor kid.

[annetteascot]

HEHEHEEHEHEHEHE

[InDira11394]
