  Give me back that Filet O’ Fish…again!

  We here at songspeak were thrilled to discover that our favorite commercial of 2009 has spawned a sequel in 2010. The singing fish is back to promote McDonald’s Filet O’ Fish sandwich. I can’t believe it’s been a year since the original classic debuted. As with most things, the sequel isn’t quite as good as the original, but I’m thrilled to see that they updated the song to go with the new cell phone story they’re telling this year. “If it were you in that sandwich, you wouldn’t be getting this calllllllll!”

  CheesyMeat posted ringtones of the Give Me Back That Filet O Fish song that you can download to your phone.

  You other sponges don’t want none unless you rock square buns

  So last night I was watching Monday Night Raw, as usual. And then a commercial came on for Burger King that had my wife Jo in hysterics. It was for the new 99 cent kid’s meals with Spongebob Squarepants toys, and it utilizes an alternate version of Sir Mix-a-lot’s Baby Got Back. Sir Mix-a-lot even appears in the ad.

  I don’t know what’s more disturbing, watching the Burger King dance around to the song, or the fact that they’re using Baby Got Back to sell kid’s meals. And really, is it wise to use a song that glorifies fat asses to advertise a fast food restaurant that gives people…well…fat asses?

  That aside, I found an extended version of the music video, and I must say, it’s incredible. I love it. Not quite as phenomenal as McDonald’s Filet O Fish jingle, but pretty damn close:

  Here are the lyrics:

  I like square butts and I cannot lie
  Squid and Sea Star can’t deny
  When a sponge walks in, four corners and his pen
  Like he got phone book implants, the crowd shouts

  All the ladies stare
  Dang those pants are square!
  Swimming through the seaweed tangle
  Is a butt with sharp right angles

  Now Sponge Bob, I wanna get witch-ya
  ‘Cuz you’re making me rich-ah
  Underwater, we keep it grungy
  ‘Cuz everybody knows that ‘He so spongey!’

  Ooh, Rumplespongeskin
  You dance, but your hips don’t bend
  So groove it and move it
  If you got caboose, then prove it

  Sponge Bob is dancing
  And Squidward is glancing
  He’s hatin’… wet
  He’s got Sponge Bob runnin’ his set

  I’m tired of all these chairs
  They don’t accommodate these squares
  Take the average ???? tell him that
  You gotta have square back

  Mr. Krab! (yeah)
  Patrick! (yeah)
  Has Sponge Bob got the butt? (oh yeah)
  Then shake it (shake it)
  Shake it (shake it)
  Shake that cubicle butt

  Sponge Bob got back
  (Naw, dude, I said cubicle, not booty-ful. Don’t trip. Yeah baby, when it comes to sea life, curves ain’t got nothin’ to do with Bob’s selection. 2 x 2 x 2 square trousers, working that black belt, looking like dotted lines. That’s how Sponge Bob like to rock them threads baby.)

  A word to the DC sponges who wanna get wit it
  And watch Sponge Bob kick it
  I gotta be straight when I say you gotta scrub ’til the break of dawn
  Bob got it goin’ on, been known to rock him a thong
  Them round butts won’t admit it
  But they’d wear that gear if they could fit it

  You can draw his body on paper
  His waistline really don’t taper
  Your girlfriend wants to squeeze him
  Wanna push his pores and tease him

  But Sponge Bob ain’t gonna have too much of that squeezin’
  You other sponges don’t want none unless you rock square buns!

  To the new sponges in the magazines, you ain’t it Miss Thang
  We rock them cubes, gals and dudes
  Put it down at the goo lagoon

  Some other box must get jealous
  At the moves that come from square fellas
  See Bob and they wanna get him
  But Sandy Cheeks he won’t let ‘em

  If you happen to wander on land
  And you wanna be a square butt fan
  And drive the crew right to Burger King
  And give that sponge a ring

  Sponge Bob got back!

  Give me back that Filet O’ Fish, Give me that fish

  This is my new favorite commercial. I saw it about a hundred times last night. And, much like Kylie Minogue, I can’t get it out of my head:

  I’ve never had a McDonald’s Filet O’ Fish in my life. But this commercial makes me want to eat a million of them. Plus, I love how the guy with the beard eating the sandwich really starts gettin’ down.

  ** UPDATE: There is a new version for 2010. The two dudes are in a car watching last year’s commercial on a cell phone. Click here to see the 2010 version.
