People these days don’t understand a world where you weren’t allowed to customize your fast food order. I vividly remember when Burger King broke the mold and announced we could customize our food order.
It was the burger king that made my life hell in McDonald's. Fuck burger king. The hate is well deserved now 😂😂. The amount of customisation you need to complete in a short time.

In the soul version, you would most likely hear it as a final song in a movie before the credits roll. In the original version, you'd hear it in an American sitcom where the family goes to get burgers.
That's what I'm saying, they repeat the item too many times and it sounds very repetitve. Plus the jingle is something I would hear from a remix of the original and not with ACTUAL orchestra instruments and such.
When they busted out into singing in the first one it genuinely took me aback. I wasn't expecting it to sound like a real song. Thats very rare that a commercial has any music or singing that sounds good lyrics aside. This is second only to the education connection song.
It's because even jingles 50 years ago had melody, harmony and music theory in them. Everything was based on it. This was the era of Elton John and the Commodores. People SANG in 1974.
Jingle writing was a lucrative job back then. I heard a jingle writer say jingles died with TiVo & the ability to skip commercials. Many jingles were bangers as they were one of the most common, memorable & successful types of advertising. My babysitter ever wanted to be a jingle singer. If you walked around to almost any school yard at recess, you'd almost always hear kids singing jingles. I was a shy little girl & as I would walk around our parking lot at recess, different cliques would sing during jingles.

The premise of the Soul version is the guy saw the original version on TV, and he wanted the person behind the counter to sing to him just like the person behind the counter on the commercial sang to those customers.

The soul version solos. Man I lowkey miss black culture, especially music from the 70s and back where you had to have real instrumentation. Just made everything sound so much bigger and brighter, more epic. When the Japanese invented that damn sampler and drum machine the music suffered a bit, and I say that as someone who loves rap/new jack swing etc
It’s so funny that you specifically blame the Roland TR808 lol and I kinda agree. I miss old black soul and funk. Bass, brass, guitar, drums are all dead now. 4 talented people can all be fit into one producer.
Oh yeah suffered as if there want bad songs before! You blame rap machine and not tb-909 but they still try to preserve black and Hispanic culture with house music. With some ups and downs here and there but still going! Blame capitalism for the exploitation and now making generic blob, blob, blob, yeah! It’s generic rap that your complaining at.
@@FritzMonorail It's a completely fair criticism, though. Electronics have pervaded just about every genre, making a lot of backing tracks appear more similar, especially in rap where the emphasis is heavily on the lyrics rather than the instrumental. Simply put, it's a lot easier to get samples and electronic beats than to learn a whole band's worth of instruments. Musical talent has indeed taken a bit of a backseat, and it has been for years. Capitalism just doesn't account for a style that requires much more effort just because people might like it.
Soul music was a great moment in music's history. Where distinctive voices and feelings of emotion were put out in their voices to express the story of the song, to catch that SOUL they had. Good examples are Dionne Warwick, Aretha Franklin, Al Green, The Brothers Johnson, The Temptations, Four Tops, Stevie Winder, The Spinners, The Staple Singers, Whitney Houston, James Brown and the list just goes on and on.
Soul music isn’t dead. There are a lot of artists who are coming up with new and refreshing songs. I hope soul lovers in this thread can learn to appreciate them too. 💕 All of the singers you mentioned in your comment are fantastic too! Thanks to my nana, I love The Temptations and Stevie Wonder as that’s all I listened to when I was small and I just turned 20. 😂
The soul version is the better of the two,I was born in the seventies,this brings back memories,you definitely don't see vintage commercials like these anymore.
Companies should genuinely start making ads like those again I dont want to get edited versions of my food on a turntable to some dramatic music and slo mo
Soul version is better, but these two commercials are better then the new whopper commercial. Edit: I respect the style the new whopper commercial has!
Holy crap. The sheer nerdiness of the original version juxtaposed with the groove of the soul version of the commercial has got me howling with laughter. You can hear the advertising agent pitching the commercial to the executives from Burger King. "Gentlemen, how do you sell hamburgers to white people?", stops for a dramatic pause, "Well by golly, you give them what they want." There are murmurs of befuddlement wafting through the board room. The cocky young advertising agent cuts through the tension, "Pickles! I don't know about you gentlemen, but I find them too spicy. And while we're getting rid of the spiciness let's toss lettuce too. Choice, gentlemen. We give the customer the right to choose, and we let them know we at Burger King are pleased to deliver them a burger customized to their exact tastes." He hits the lights, the projector comes on and the Hold the Pickle, Hold the Lettuce anthem is unveiled to the executives who feel their chests swell with pride. Yes! This is glorious. Let the customer know it is our privilege to deliver them a customized dining experience. Stick that in your milkshake and suck it, McDonalds. The executives gather around the advertising agent and begin to congratulate him, shaking his hands and patting his back. A smile spreads across the face of the advertising agent. Nailing the Burger King account is going to get him such a promotion. Then a voice off in the dark corner of the room says "Um, yeah we also want to sell burgers to black people." All eyes turn expectantly back to the advertising agent. A moment of hesitation twitches across his brow before he says with great confidence, "Let me ask my black friend Jeff about that and I'll get right back to you." The board room erupts in a flurry of cheers.
He thinks to himself "By golly Tim, you've done it. Why I can't wait to get home and tell Susie and the girls the good news. This is going to be the best meatloaf night yet. And then when the girls have been put to bed I can ask Susie if any of her friends know a black person I can talk to."
I think both are great in their own way if you need some energy to wake up then the soul version is the way to go but if you need to unwind and relax then the original version is perfect for that
@@DavidSaintOnge2007 No, but the civil rights movement had practically just ended at the time, and the major societal effects still hadn’t set in very much, so businesses were incentivized to account for culture when attempting to gain patronage from different groups, which of course led to this.

That's because that _was_ astonishing back then. BK was one of the first (fast-food) restaurants to push for the 'customers can modify their orders' thing. Before that, the point was fast-food was specifically _fast_ - no special orders.
@@crustysconsoles6240 first one is blackwashed at this point and logic. Both looks hilarious in a comparison, it's like BK is trying to relate to diverse groups through obvious separation in each commercial.
@@bowwak5366 because it was and still is segregated culturally and economically. It’s more United now than ever race wise but still United States is very segregated. When you compare to other diverse places like Mexico us seems VERY segregated! Mexico only has one REALISTIC segregation, economic class. And it’s from a few against majority population especially now that amlo(president of Mexico since 2018) took away some privileges from the rich. Which the us of course also has as well. When you have segregation lasting almost a century in a nation it will take a while to disperse that if ever. Especially when us started to construct its modern self during that. So it make sense that Burger King would have different ads for different groups. It was only one decade when they got rid of segregation around that time ad was made.
@@iseytheteethsnake6290 Mexico is culture wise diverse, US focus is more on race itself considering how diverse ethnicities live in America but due to Americanisation they simply stopped using their own languages. US existed as a hub for immigrants which needed to assimilate fast if they wanted to get rich. Idk about their president, but they still seems to struggle with cartels but only difference is they have leftist populist who looks for enemies other than cartels. Cartels are the source of their issues which makes me quite suspicious about their president but anyway.
@@iseytheteethsnake6290 "When you have segregation lasting almost a century in a nation it will take a while to disperse that if ever." especially when you don't mention the slavery that lasted for over 200 years.. you know that MIGHT have a small part in it..
*I thought I was the only one…* I just posted a comment on this video about this… the first one is more diverse with both black and white people while the original just had only white people.

The black version sounds more cheery and happy. But the white version sounds soo sad and slow. But either way both is good tho.i like em’ :) if only every time when i go up to the counter and tell em what I want they just show me the worst attitudes ever. :(
It’s unbelievable how they made a good song into one that makes you wanna shove drills into your ears in the modern version, that’s basically every Burger King ad now.
@Some Random Vids Technically, no. While the lead vocalists sing melodies of the same pitch, the rhythms at which they do so are quite unique when compared together. This, along with the fact that the two have very distinctly different accompanying chords (through backup vocals and instrumentation), would indicate that they have separate, if similar, melodies. The "Whopper Whopper" song simplifies the vocals to primarily just the lead, which is stylistically closer to the original version, as well as more following the original's rhythm. All three songs are obviously connected, but subtle differences in their composition make Bryant's initial claim perfectly reasonable.
That was fun thanks- great theme song either way. And love those funky hats- if I worked there and had to wear one of those everyone would laugh their heads off when they saw me, including myself! Would be a blast.
Both versions are appropriate for their audiences. Id go to BK if everytine i order these fine soul sisters serenaded me. Today, these joints are filled with rude minimum wage under achievers. 😂
I genuinely really like both. The original has a beautiful singing voice which kinda does it for me, but the soul version has great energy to it, especially the way the commercial is presented.

And it’s from a few against majority population especially now that amlo(president of Mexico since 2018) took away some privileges from the rich. Which the us of course also has as well.
When you have segregation lasting almost a century in a nation it will take a while to disperse that if ever.
Especially when us started to construct its modern self during that. So it make sense that Burger King would have different ads for different groups. It was only one decade when they got rid of segregation around that time ad was made.
@@iseytheteethsnake6290 Mexico is culture wise diverse, US focus is more on race itself considering how diverse ethnicities live in America but due to Americanisation they simply stopped using their own languages. US existed as a hub for immigrants which needed to assimilate fast if they wanted to get rich.
Idk about their president, but they still seems to struggle with cartels but only difference is they have leftist populist who looks for enemies other than cartels. Cartels are the source of their issues which makes me quite suspicious about their president but anyway.
@@iseytheteethsnake6290 "When you have segregation lasting almost a century in a nation it will take a while to disperse that if ever." especially when you don't mention the slavery that lasted for over 200 years.. you know that MIGHT have a small part in it..
Can’t believe they segregated the commercial
No shit, did you fall asleep in history class?
@@MsMvsc it was a joke
They still do that. Demographics
*I thought I was the only one…*
I just posted a comment on this video about this… the first one is more diverse with both black and white people while the original just had only white people.
I have not eaten at burger king since 1994.
I love the Soul Sisters singing to the Soul Brother they rocked the boat! Meanwhile the Wonder bread version had plain Jane practicing for her upcoming recital 😁
Whopper, Whopper, Whopper, Whopper
Junior, Double, Triple Whopper
Flame-grilled taste with perfect toppers
I rule this day
Lettuce, mayo, pickle, ketchup
It's okay if I don't want that
Impossible or bacon Whopper
Any Whopper my wayYou rule, you're seizin' the day
At BK, have it your way
(You rule)
WE GON MAKE IT OUTTA THE GRILL WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥
The white version is missing the seasoning.
They both hit me in the sentimental feels.
"I walk to burger king, then I walk back home from burger king"
They're both creepy with the forced Mary Poppins ass smiles. But the soul version has better music
I can agree on the forced smiles… but at the same time… we can’t just have them looking depressed on set? It would make the mood shit.
The black version sounds more cheery and happy.
But the white version sounds soo sad and slow. But either way both is good tho.i like em’ :) if only every time when i go up to the counter and tell em what I want they just show me the worst attitudes ever. :(
I dig the “Soul” version the most, baby…😂!!
It’s unbelievable how they made a good song into one that makes you wanna shove drills into your ears in the modern version, that’s basically every Burger King ad now.
They were both actually really nice!
God the soul versions singer is amazing
We getting out of the hood with the soul one!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Mmmm i dont know how to feel about either one lol. The soul in my opinion is yelling and the other too slow lol. Yeah ill sit this one out😭
Original in Wisconsin: "Can I have my burger with absolutely no seasoning?"
BK: "you betcha!"
1970's ads were a billion times better than the modern ads of today.
Please enlighten me on what’s wrong with modern day ads?
Your challenge… don’t bring politics into it… *do your best… just be chill.*
Also that isn’t a hate comment I am just asking what’s wrong with modern day ads.
The soul version sounds better, but honestly I love the cheerful tone of the original
I LOVE THE SOUL VERSION!!!!!! 🤣👍
They shouldn't call it Whopper anymore because it's smaller, they should call it slider😂
wow what a great ad powerful message the soul version hands down
Did the employees really dress like that?
Yep! Keep in mind, it was the 70's. Everybody dressed tacky back then.
Original because it's the same melody as the new "Whopper Whopper Whopper Whopper" commercial
They're both the same melody
@Some Random Vids Technically, no. While the lead vocalists sing melodies of the same pitch, the rhythms at which they do so are quite unique when compared together. This, along with the fact that the two have very distinctly different accompanying chords (through backup vocals and instrumentation), would indicate that they have separate, if similar, melodies.
The "Whopper Whopper" song simplifies the vocals to primarily just the lead, which is stylistically closer to the original version, as well as more following the original's rhythm. All three songs are obviously connected, but subtle differences in their composition make Bryant's initial claim perfectly reasonable.
@@joshmiller3055 technically yes stop being dumb
Im Hispanic, I prefer the soul version
This is the version that's been in my head since I heard it in...'77? It stuck because it sounds GREAT!
That was fun thanks- great theme song either way. And love those funky hats- if I worked there and had to wear one of those everyone would laugh their heads off when they saw me, including myself! Would be a blast.
The original look like she is being held against her will to sing.💀
I love soul music so much omg
Whopper Whopper Whopper Whopper junior Double triple Whopper
Soul Train vs Lawrence Welk
Both versions are appropriate for their audiences. Id go to BK if everytine i order these fine soul sisters serenaded me. Today, these joints are filled with rude minimum wage under achievers. 😂
I genuinely really like both. The original has a beautiful singing voice which kinda does it for me, but the soul version has great energy to it, especially the way the commercial is presented.
Soul hits way harder
Not gonna lie soul version sounds holy
Meanwhile, in 2024: *IT'S BK, HAVE IT YOUR WAY*
Flashback in the 70's
Soul is way better. The original doesn’t have energy
