Cowboy Hootie sings for Burger King
Topic: Miscellaneous 10:40 pm EST, Mar  6, 2005

Have you seent he new BK TV spot with Darius Rucker looking like a singing rhinestone cowboy? All I can say is WTF?!? . I quickly recognized the tune as "Big Rock Candy Mountain" but I didn't realize times had gotten so tough for Darius.

The lastest from Crispin Porter + Bogusky for Burger King is this strange commercial for their Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch sandwich. It is like an Old Navy ad on acid with some Playboy/Penthouse thrown in for good measure, somewhat typical of David LaChapelle's work.

One of the stranger things about this ad is the number of B-list celebrities. The ad stars Darius Rucker (a.k.a Hootie), the lead singer of Hootie and the Blowfish, fitted out in cowboy gear, singing new lyrics to the tune of "Big Rock Candy Mountain", an old bluegrass song.

Yeah, this is the strangest commercial that I have seen in a while, for a kind of gross sounding sandwich. Ranch on a burger? And how can something be both tender and crisp at the same time?
