I guess I don't watch enough television--I've never seen (or heard) it. And I disagree with that article one one point with which I am familiar--I don't think Big Rock Candy Mountain is "an old bluegrass song."

I knew the voice was familiar, but would never have dreamed that was Darius.
I like the bit.

Ok, found 'em sort of:

"When my belly starts a-rumblin', and I'm jonesin' for a treat.
I close my eyes for a big surprise, the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch.
I love the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch, the breasts they grow on trees.
And streams of bacon ranch dressing, flow right up to your knees.
Tumbleweeds of bacon, and cheddar paves the streets.
Folks don't [Unintelligable] ya cause ya got the juice, there's a train of ladies comin' with a nice caboose.
Never get in trouble, never need an excuse, the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch.
I love the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch no one tells ya to behave.
Your wildest fantasies come true, Dallas cheerleaders give you shaves.
Red onions make you laugh instead, and french fries grow like weeds.
Ya get to veg all day, all the lotto tickets pay.
The king who wants you to have it your way, that's the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch."

Ok, I keep hearing this commercial on tV. It is for burger King and uses "Big Rock Candy Mountain" for the tune. Being totally blind, I have no idea on the visuals, but it's just a guitar and voice singing about "French fries growing on trees". It's silly, but I love hearing that tune in a comercial. Anyone else in North America seen it?
