When I was 10 (in 1968), my friends and I sang: "Mc Donald's is your kind of place, The roaches run the place, They serve you rattlesnakes, They throw them in your face, and they also make you a disgrace, and steal your parking place, Mc Donald's is your kind of place YOUR kind of place!" Love that Dixieland-style music! Reminds me of "Shakey's" restaurant. Does anyone remember "Shakey's"? :)
Wow this took me back !! No chemicals yet in the burgers . My favorite McDonald’s commercial, I live this era! Once a month my parents should to take the whole family to McDonald’s. 😀🍟🍔
Wow! Look at the size of the napkins! They were the size of table cloths. I don't remember that. But I do remember the hamburgers were a lot bigger, and the shakes were awesome. The fries have stayed remarkably the same.
Fresh French Fries..back then they bought Potatoes and peeled them by hand and cooked them, they were out of this world. Us kids made friends with one of the workers and we often got food for take out and he would often give us extra fries or burgers with our order.
Yeah, even after 40 years, whenever I hear an instrumental version of "Down By The Riverside," these are still the lyrics that immediately pop into my head.
Okay something about those flash cuts was pretty creepy. Every time they clapped and freeze framed on someone's inverted face, I kept feeling like it was a cold case segment.
shakes were sooo much better at McDonald's back then..everything was better! so sad they changed it all and now it makes most people sick that eat there
This is the kind of ad that the Don Drapers of the world dismissed when it came out. Notice that they barely talked about the food, and when they did it was barely mentioned. Instead they sold the idea of the PLACE. Reality was the food was the same as any other fast food place and really not even as good as say Burger Chef. But McDonald's sold it as the PLACE to go. You didn't go for burgers, you would go to McDonald's. Like the VW "Lemon" ad, it broke all kinds of classic advertising rules.
That's what's so fascinating about Mad Men. It's about a bunch of high-paid execs trying to sell products, when to ordinary guys like me, that seems dumb. "You don't sell the product! You sell the feeling! That's Marketing 101!" I can't conceive of a world where advertising isn't about manipulating emotions first.
Not to mention the ads for cleanliness at McDonald's.. Billions upon billions of burgers later it's tough to argue the point of selling the sizzel and never the steak.. My father was an ad exec back in those days.. In my hometown of Dayton Ohio there was a piano and appliance store called BHA, (better home appliances). My dad HATED the stores owner, Emmett Royer, but never failed to acknowledge his advertising genius. His store at the time outsold every store of its kind in the entire US in small town Dayton Ohio through his over the top annoying ads..
Mr. Jim,I was born 4 years earlier,& I agree. Life was completely different back then. I still remember when McDonalds hadn't sold some 10K yet,sputnik,the 1st muscle car. Mickey D's was still "the golden arches",boy,do I miss that. Especially on Friday/Saturday night! Crooz,man!
Love it. When we were backpacking around Europe in the 1970s we used the price of a Big Mac to tell us what we would pay for food in different countries. When we backpacked around South America in the 1990s we used McDonalds for clean toilets. Seriously..... and the food was reliable. Thanks McDonalds.
This response is kinda late, but I know what you mean. I went to Rio De Janerio, Brazil in 2001. I was afraid to eat the Brazilian food, because I was afraid of food poisoning. A friend ate some of the local food, and came down with diarrhea. I was eating rice, and soup. I discovered a McDonald's in Rio, and the Brazilian woman with me ordered our food. The food was good and the restrooms were clean. I used to work at McDonald's and knew about their policy of quality control. My friends laughed at me and said I could get McDonald's in the US, but I ate all of my meals there. I brought Kaopectate, and Imodium AD, and gave it to my friends who ate the Brazilian food. ( no offense to Brazil but our dietary ways were different from the local people).
@furfinsandfeathers we sang it as: McDonald's is your kind of place, hamburgets in your face, french fries up your nose, pickles between your toes, ketchup down your back, I want my money back, before I have a heart attack...And don't forget the milk shakes, they come from polluted lakes, McDonalds is your your kind of place. Kinda scary that I can still remember that 40 years later, huh?
I remember singing this song as a parody as a kid. "McDonalds is my kind of place, hamburgers in your face, french fries up your nose and the ketchup on your toes. McDonalds is my kind of place."
Back then, my mother said she only got mcdonalds once a month. She used to call it mickey d's. Her sisters adn brothers would take turns smelling the bag in the car. That's the great life of the 1950's :)
Here are the original words to that jingle: McDonald's is our kind of place [clap clap]* It’s such a happy place [clap clap] Hap hap hap happy place [clap clap] A clean and snappy place McDonald's is our kind of place [clap clap] It’s such a happy place McDonald's is our kind of place! Your kind of place! *These words indicate that two claps are done immediately following those lyrics.
when I was a kid in the 70s we ate mcdonalds often, not everyday but often enough. we didn't get fat from it, we moved around & worked it off. no one complained about the happy meals or about the "unhealthy" food. a h appy meal was a cheeseburger, greasy fries and a milkshake, today they put sliced apples in it...not fun.
When I was in camp, we heard about a shooting at a McDonald's in San Diego. We turned this into: McDonald's is your kind of place Bullets right in your face Slugs flying up your nose Spent shells between your toes....
McDonalds, let this video be my parting memory. Last night I went into McDonalds and got a small vanilla shake $3.12, sweet and watery. Years ago you could not suck the ice cream up the straw shake was so thick. You never know when it’s going to be the last time you see somebody, be kind. Good Bye McDonalds. I’ll remember you kindly and mourn your tragic death. And keep selling those cups of soda that look like pails, I saw a lady and a kid in front of me struggling to carry 5 of them. Mom had 4 in a brown cup holder. The kid had 1.
We sang the same version except for the shakes/polluted lakes part: We sang "The last time I went there - they burned my underwear-McDonalds is your kind of place." LOL
I worked at McDonald's in High School in 1968 for $1.25 hour. The food was much better. The meat was never frozen and the fries were cut from onsite fresh from real potatoes. A burger, fries and coke was 49¢. I would grill my own triple cheeseburger with onions...yum!
OMG! When I was a kid I used to sing, "McDonald's is your kind of place hamburgers in your face french fries up your nose pickles between your toes and don't forget those chocolate shakes they come from polluted lakes McDonald's is your kind of place!"
I remember going to MDs with my family in the 60s and paying $2.75 for all 4 of us to eat. And I ate 4 burgers fries and a shake myself. The burgers were the size of Frizbees, the fries came in 2 pound bags and that was a small one. They would wash your car while you ate your meal.......... God I miss those days
i remember that commercial when i was a little boy. we had our own song to that tune: mcdonalds is our kind of place hamburgers in your face pickles between your toes french fries shoved up your nose mcdonald's is our kind of place they have polluted shakes mcdonalds is our kind of place the food was very different back then. it wasn't exactly healthy, but by the same token, it wasn't the crap it is now. and we went there as a treat, not as a way of living.
I would have loved to visit Mcdonalds back then. To bad I can't time travel. Back in the early 90's when I was a kid. I remember during Halloween, they would give us these plastic round containers each with the kids meal in them. And we'd use them to trick-r-treat or put them on our heads and run around the house with'em. Sad they don't give them away now, my niece and nephews would enjoy playing with them.
For decades McDonald's cooked its french fries in a mixture of about seven percent cottonseed oil and 93 percent beef tallow. The mixture gave the fries their unique flavor -- and more saturated beef fat per ounce than a McDonald's hamburger.
Us kids had our own version sung to the same tune.." Mac Donalds aint our kind of place! They serve you rattle snakes, they throw them in your face, there is no parking space. Last time I was there they sole our underwear, Mac Donalds aint our kind of place" Thanks for the memories!
I remember the unofficial school yard version.. McDonald's is our kind of place, they steal your license plates, they feed you rattle snakes, they slap you in the face..
Lessons for the current restaurants to learn from this ad: Bring back spill-proof lids (save a few million bucks in lawsuits), bring back those fab hats, and what happened to those HUGE napkins? Too busy saving trees to save my messy kid.
@mazzyjulio That's funny! I was only 4 in 1967, but I remember singing it a different way years later. "McDonald's is your kinda place, it's such a dirty place, hamburgers up your nose, french fries between your toes, McDonald's is your kinda place, milk shakes from polluted lakes, McDonald's is your kinda place, your kinda place." :))))
When I was a kid, we sang our own lyrics to that tune: McDonald's is your kind of place! Hamburgers in your face, French fries between your toes, Dill pickles up your nose! And don't forget those luscious shakes, Made from polluted lakes. McDonald's is your kind of place!
@hulkout666 It had to be in the mid to late 1960s. They had a rich man, and his butler served him his food on a silver tray and he gave the guy his change, too.
Wow!! One of the 1st off-color songs I learned in elementary school was..."McDonald's is your kind of place, cheeseburgers in your face, french fries stuffed up your nose, Big Macs between your toes, milkshakes poured down your back, and that was just the snack, McDonald's is your kind of place!"
McDonalds is your kind of place Hamburgers in your face French fries between your toes And pickles up your nose And don't forget those chocolate shakes Right from polluted lakes McDonalds is your kind of place. That's the song we used to sing.
As a kid we used to sing, "McDonald's is that kinda place, they serve you rattlesnakes, on a pretty paper plates, it's the kinda place you love to hate" And on and on. Aaaah, the 60's!
@VikefanTony I was 1 year old when this commercial came out. They must have used the theme for a while, because I remember my dad singing "McDonald's is our kind of place, hamburgers in yer face"... or something to that effect.
I've heard from people who were around back in the day that McDonald's was a much better place back then. They say the service know is horrible now compared to how it once was.
This takes me back. Back when our Stepfather would strike us with his belt to the double-beat of the pistol shots in this beloved advert. It's Burned into my memory and backside.
As kids we sang:"McDonalds is yur kinda place. Hamburgers in yur face. French fries between yur toes. Dill pickles up yur nose. And dont forget McDonalds shakes, made from polluted lakes. McDonalds is yur kinda place."
This commercial was really big when I was a kid. Our (grade school) version of this song: McDonald's ain't my kind of place! They feed you rattlesnakes! Hamburgers up your nose... French fries between your toes! Last time I was there, they stole my underwear! McDonald's ain't my kind of place!
HOLY CRAP, spill-proof lids? No way!! And what's with the gunshot sounds every few seconds? It's like, "McDonalds is a happy place *bang*bang* or else!"
@deltaenforcer93 You also realize that a small size drink and a single payy burger and a small fries was considered an regular size before they started the whole super size thing.
McDonald's is your kind of place,they serve rattlesnakes,french fries between your toes,milkshakes up your nose. The last time that I was there,they fried my underwear,McDonald's is your kind of place. Thats the jingle I remember as a kid. lol
WOW! spill-proof lids? SOLD! lol, he was like "healthy french fries, thick milkshakes, and LEAN beef burgers with cheese, good for the whole family's health"
1967: Spill proof lids
2017: Mess-inducing lids
2024 - cannot afford to take a family of 5 to eat at McDonalds.
I give this McDonald's retromercial a round of applause!
Same
Yeah, that America is no longer unfortunately.
When I was 10 (in 1968), my friends and I sang:
"Mc Donald's is your kind of place,
The roaches run the place,
They serve you rattlesnakes,
They throw them in your face,
and they also make you a disgrace,
and steal your parking place,
Mc Donald's is your kind of place YOUR kind of place!"
Love that Dixieland-style music! Reminds me of "Shakey's" restaurant. Does anyone remember "Shakey's"? :)
Yeah sure you did
@@maccamachine okay babychoppa8913
You guys are nailed it
R.I.P user in 2011
shakey's is still around atleast in southern california, i love shakey's!
This commercial is so beautiful, I love looking up food commercials from decades ago.
My dad sings this a lot cuz he was born in '53 but he was 14 when this came out so he still remembers it!
Wow this took me back !! No chemicals yet in the burgers . My favorite McDonald’s commercial, I live this era! Once a month my parents should to take the whole family to McDonald’s. 😀🍟🍔
They would only take you there once a month? Because of that I’m jealous. My parents only take me and my siblings to McDonald’s once a year!
back when mcdonalds burgers were like 15¢ (no lie)
MKJ_ Independent and when the ice cream machine actually worked
WHAT!!!!!????
i guess the burgers and fries that time were 100% real
+DIGIMEI French Fries were, they would buy potatoes and peel them by hand and cook them, they were out of this world, that was back in the 60's.
Wow! Look at the size of the napkins! They were the size of table cloths. I don't remember that. But I do remember the hamburgers were a lot bigger, and the shakes were awesome. The fries have stayed remarkably the same.
Fresh French Fries..back then they bought Potatoes and peeled them by hand and cooked them, they were out of this world. Us kids made friends with one of the workers and we often got food for take out and he would often give us extra fries or burgers with our order.
Lol u have my 1st name and Anitials lol
I’m so jealous
GREAT COMMERCIAL!!!! I wish they would bring back those retro commercials :):):):)
My dad was born in the 60's and he loved this commercial. I love McDonald's , it's my favorite place to eat at.
Yeah, even after 40 years, whenever I hear an instrumental version of "Down By The Riverside," these are still the lyrics that immediately pop into my head.
first comment
Now it's 55 years wow
That song is like a parody of "Studio Charms Crackers Jingle" (by Tim the toucan & his niece Theresa the toucan)
When I was a child, in the late 60s, going to McDonalds was a rare treat. I love these pre-Ronald McDonald commercials.
Okay something about those flash cuts was pretty creepy. Every time they clapped and freeze framed on someone's inverted face, I kept feeling like it was a cold case segment.
🤣🤣🤣 right??!
And the worst thing is moving camera on the McDonald's logo
Couldn’t have said it better myself
Back when a job requirement of McD's was knowing how to tie a bow tie; That'd never happen now.
Devon Berube They were clip-ons
Devon Berube They were probably clip on
Or anytime soon
back in 1970, a big mac cost $.70
My grandmother remembers buying a loaf of bread for 1¢
60s and 70s
That’s so cheap
I'm 15 and I wish this kind of McDonald's was still around!
I love youtube so much, you can look at the stuff waaay in the past to see what life was back then in video instead of reading about it.
Wow! 4 years before they opened up here in Australia. Who would have imagined seeing this ad in 1967 that within 30 years they would be worldwide!
I didn't know this commercial existed until my dad started singing the jingle. What a gem! ;-D
Why the hell do they still not have spill proof lids!?!?!
Well it was probably a crappy product that didn't really work
The french fries in this ad look tastier than they are today
That’s true
Ah! The McDonalds I remember before the insane clown posse took over.
shakes were sooo much better at McDonald's back then..everything was better! so sad they changed it all and now it makes most people sick that eat there
good old times...
When I was a kid in the 80's I LOVED the chicken McNuggets with the little cup of honey.
It's no wonder my dad would sing this song alot, especially whenever mcdonald's was mentioned. he was about 9 or 10 when this commercial aired. :)
With Napkins as big as a bib!
This is the kind of ad that the Don Drapers of the world dismissed when it came out. Notice that they barely talked about the food, and when they did it was barely mentioned.

Darrin Stevens created this ad.
Yeah, and the "Hilltop" Coke ad, too.
AZDuffman were you in the AdWords
Not to mention the ads for cleanliness at McDonald's.. Billions upon billions of burgers later it's tough to argue the point of selling the sizzel and never the steak..

Geez, bring back the 60's. SEE HOW HAPPY PEOPLE WERE BACK THEN!?!?!
Before the hippies and the counter culture really took hold. This is why you don't see things like this today.
We used to sing this on they School Bus. Drove the driver crazy!
Old mcdonalds commercials were creepy
True, I used to sometimes get nightmares as a kid watching the 60s and 70s Mcdonalds commercials
I like the song the kids sound like angels
I saw Obama 0:09
He was a kid
MCDONALDS IS YOUR KIND OF PLACE, I remember that tune!!!!! I was a kid in the 60's and 70's!! I always did like Micky D's!!!!!
Mr. Jim,I was born 4 years earlier,& I agree. Life was completely different back then. I still remember when McDonalds hadn't sold some 10K yet,sputnik,the 1st muscle car. Mickey D's was still "the golden arches",boy,do I miss that. Especially on Friday/Saturday night! Crooz,man!
Obama at 0:49. Yes we can!
Obama was still a kid in the 60s
0:49
where are all the trayvons and michael browns behind the counter spittin in your food and giving you dirty looks.
Love it.

i enjoy how their rhyming place with place...over and over again
Vikefan, thanks I haven't heard that take off in 40 years.
man i wish mcdonalds was "such a happy place!" now...
Back then, my mother said she only got mcdonalds once a month. She used to call it mickey d's. Her sisters adn brothers would take turns smelling the bag in the car. That's the great life of the 1950's :)
Here are the original words to that jingle:

Hap hap hap happy place [clap clap]
A clean and snappy place
McDonald's is our kind of place [clap clap]
It’s such a happy place

Your kind of place!

When McDonald' watch phrase wasn't "Ba da bababa, I'm lovin' it" :P
Wow, you're right! I never realized that Barry worked for McDonald's
When I was in camp, we heard about a shooting at a McDonald's in San Diego. We turned this into:
McDonald's is your kind of place
Bullets right in your face
Slugs flying up your nose
Spent shells between your toes....
McDonalds, let this video be my parting memory. Last night I went into McDonalds and got a small vanilla shake $3.12, sweet and watery. Years ago you could not suck the ice cream up the straw shake was so thick. You never know when it’s going to be the last time you see somebody, be kind. Good Bye McDonalds. I’ll remember you kindly and mourn your tragic death. And keep selling those cups of soda that look like pails, I saw a lady and a kid in front of me struggling to carry 5 of them.

The burgers were the size of Frizbees, the fries came in 2 pound bags and that was a small one. They would wash your car while you ate your meal.......... God I miss those days
@pooie0116 LOL I was 8 yrs old in 1967 and I remember my classmates singing something similar back then. What a great time it was to be a kid.
i actually passed one of those old mcdonalds with the arches on the sides and the old sign when i was on a road trip this summer XD
i remember that commercial when i was a little boy.
we had our own song to that tune:
mcdonalds is our kind of place
hamburgers in your face
pickles between your toes
french fries shoved up your nose
mcdonald's is our kind of place
they have polluted shakes
mcdonalds is our kind of place
the food was very different back then. it wasn't exactly healthy, but by the same token, it wasn't the crap it is now. and we went there as a treat, not as a way of living.

Lessons for the current restaurants to learn from this ad: Bring back spill-proof lids (save a few million bucks in lawsuits), bring back those fab hats, and what happened to those HUGE napkins? Too busy saving trees to save my messy kid.
The American accent from that era is so charming.
I totally remember this restaurant. We still have this chain in Canada. I actually worked there in high school.
@mazzyjulio That's funny! I was only 4 in 1967, but I remember singing it a different way years later.
"McDonald's is your kinda place,
it's such a dirty place,
hamburgers up your nose,
french fries between your toes,
McDonald's is your kinda place,
milk shakes from polluted lakes,
McDonald's is your kinda place,
your kinda place."
:))))
Owe, that's a sad thought, but for better or worse he is immortalized in this commercial.
When I was a kid, we sang our own lyrics to that tune:
McDonald's is your kind of place!
Hamburgers in your face,
French fries between your toes,
Dill pickles up your nose!
And don't forget those luscious shakes,
Made from polluted lakes.
McDonald's is your kind of place!
@hulkout666 It had to be in the mid to late 1960s. They had a rich man, and his butler served him his food on a silver tray and he gave the guy his change, too.
OMG this was the year my mom was born!!! This was 45 years ago!!!!
Remember in 1965 standing and watching the young employees clean and prepare potatos to turn into fries.....🍟 McDonald's 😊
Wow!! One of the 1st off-color songs I learned in elementary school was..."McDonald's is your kind of place, cheeseburgers in your face, french fries stuffed up your nose, Big Macs between your toes, milkshakes poured down your back, and that was just the snack, McDonald's is your kind of place!"
I think my parents were on that commercial on their childhood. I just have a feeling about that.
McDonalds is your kind of place Hamburgers in your face French fries between your toes And pickles up your nose And don't forget those chocolate shakes Right from polluted lakes McDonalds is your kind of place. That's the song we used to sing.
Wow, I did not know McDonalds existed back in the 60's
Woah! I wasn't alive when this commercial were existed.
As a kid we used to sing, "McDonald's is that kinda place, they serve you rattlesnakes, on a pretty paper plates, it's the kinda place you love to hate" And on and on.
Aaaah, the 60's!
i was born in the '90s so why am i creeped out by '60s commercials
there were no mcnuggets yet back then :( 83 was a great year
wish it was still like this now :/
@VikefanTony
I was 1 year old when this commercial came out. They must have used the theme for a while, because I remember my dad singing "McDonald's is our kind of place, hamburgers in yer face"... or something to that effect.
I've heard from people who were around back in the day that McDonald's was a much better place back then. They say the service know is horrible now compared to how it once was.
Yep, McDonald's has shakes. You can get a chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry shake at any McDonald's restaurant.
Mcdonalds is my stress reliever
They continued that jingle for three or four years. I first heard it in 1969.
what has happened ? my dad said that when he was little, the food was good, and the service was nice. Now look at mcdonalds today.
God.. I remember how awesome the fries used to be. Miss those lol
thanks for sharing this! ahhhdorable commercial!
This takes me back. Back when our Stepfather would strike us with his belt to the double-beat of the pistol shots in this beloved advert. It's Burned into my memory and backside.
As kids we sang:"McDonalds is yur kinda place. Hamburgers in yur face. French fries between yur toes. Dill pickles up yur nose. And dont forget McDonalds shakes, made from polluted lakes. McDonalds is yur kinda place."
True, congratulations. You have certainly shown me my place.
@CosbyTheCaterpillar Good point. The lids barely stay on for walking, never mind tipping all the way over.
If it tips over, you're wearing it.
quality, cleanliness, extra care... oh, how far they have fallen :(
This commercial was really big when I was a kid. Our (grade school) version of this song:
McDonald's ain't my kind of place!
They feed you rattlesnakes!
Hamburgers up your nose...
French fries between your toes!
Last time I was there,
they stole my underwear!
McDonald's ain't my kind of place!
HOLY CRAP, spill-proof lids? No way!!
And what's with the gunshot sounds every few seconds? It's like, "McDonalds is a happy place *bang*bang* or else!"
@deltaenforcer93 You also realize that a small size drink and a single payy burger and a small fries was considered an regular size before they started the whole super size thing.

The plastic lid you have and still receive at McDonalds(and almost any place for that matter) is the spill proof lid.
McDonald's is your kind of place,they serve rattlesnakes,french fries between your toes,milkshakes up your nose. The last time that I was there,they fried my underwear,McDonald's is your kind of place. Thats the jingle I remember as a kid. lol
WOW! spill-proof lids? SOLD! lol, he was like "healthy french fries, thick milkshakes, and LEAN beef burgers with cheese, good for the whole family's health"
