1980s McDonald's Ice Skating Commercial w/alternate jingle

In 1989, the classic McDonald's ice skating commercial was re-aired with a different music track than the one that's already been available for awhile on YouTube. This one uses the melody of the "You Deserve A Break Today" campaign, and I believe that this was the original one used. There was even a third one in 1990. This was obviously a throwback to the innocent days before clowns grabbing clumsy children became a serious social problem.

There were several versions. IIRC, they also did one with the music from the "McDonald's and You" slogan. That would make four if we include 1990 (don't remember the 1990 version...can't imagine them using "Food, Folks, and Fun"...lol).

The one going around YT uses "Good Time, Great Taste" as the underscore.

"You Deserve a Break Today" seems to have been a recurring ad campaign. We'll probably see it again soon enough. Along with this commercial and others.
