PEDESTRIAN.TV has partnered with McDonald’s to celebrate the intro of the Chicken Big Mac and Cheeseburger Flavoured Shaker Fries to their menu. Seeing as they’re on a roll with shaking old things up, they’re asking talented DJs / musicians like you to mix up the classic ‘I’m Lovin’ It’ jingle in a whole new way. Keep reading to find out more.
Sure, while scents and tastes can cause a flooding of emotional nostalgia to overwhelm you, those sensations ain’t got nothing on sound. Hearing a banger from days of yore can trigger a host of reactions, not limited to dancing atop a table (c’mon, we’ve all been there), or crying on your bathroom floor (once again, we’ve all been there).
Unless you were living on some distant planet, chances are you would’ve heard McDonald’s ‘I’m Lovin’ It’ jingle at some point during its 13-year play time. We’d excuse you if you weren’t aware that those vocals were actually Justin Timberlake‘s, but to have not heard it at all? You’re not only lying to us, but also to yourself.
McDonald’s, having just added the new Chicken Big Mac + Cheeseburger Flavoured Shaker Fries to its menu for a limited time, is on a roll with the whole “shaking thangs up” vibe. Wanting to extend on the good times, they’re requesting Aussie DJs / musicians have a crack at mixing up this iconic tune into a whole new beat. Having them select yours as the best wouldn’t be a bad addition to the ol’ resume, would it?
Besides the fame / glory of having yours be crowned as the best, they’re also giving the winner $5K’s worth of equipment so they can continue delivering the world bonafide bangers.
