In that Burger King Commercial....I never liked any of his music because it's soul-less...He's from my hometown and all but that BK commercial had his ass lookin' like....aww hell I dunno.

He looks like a gay cowboy is what he looks like. When you need the dough, you need the dough.

yeah , that carrer sure took a nose dive in 10 years. From lead singer to one of the most popular bands in the mid 90s to singing in a Burger King costume pushing double Whoppers with cheese.

I love the Tender Crisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch
The best they grow on trees
And the streams of bacon ranch dressing
Flow right up to your knees
There's tumbleweeds of bacon
And cheddar paves the streets
You get to veg all day
All the lotto tickets pay
There's a king who wants you
To have it your way
That's the Tender Crisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch
The Tender Crisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch

Maybe Chris Rock should write him a check for $80.

That commercial is embarrassing

What a disappointment. I liked his solo album Back to Then.

Oh lord, I thought that was him but my brain wasn't hearing it.
He's no Cowboy Curtis, that's for sure..

didn't that damn hootie crap own the whole universe for a while? what the hell did he do with all his money? jeez, if i were him, i would have gotten a gig making fun of tom hanks movies on "i love the 80s" and called it a day. sheesh.

The music industry is designed to keep the labels rich. Maybe Darius didn't earn as much money after everyone was paid, then the rest was split between 6 some odd band members.

The money went up his nose (you didn't hear it from me though).

"Blow"fish -- figures.

The song is actually from The movie O, Brother, Where Art Thou?. The song is called Big Rock Candy Mountain. I think the song is kinda cute. You can check it out on the movie website.

PAPAROBBIE said:

i was thinking the same thing when i saw this commercial. how embarassing! damn, are times that hard? can't he find another gig?

maybe it's just WAY OVER THE TOP humour
and he'll have the last laugh?

















....nah...

I thought that was embarassing too! My mouth dropped when I saw Darius on that commerical. That's too sad to see him promoting a burger instead of an album. A BIG difference from 10 years ago indeed.

I saw it and had to do a double take. I thought it was a just a little bit...OK, a lot bit sad. Everytime I watch it, I just think, this isn't as bad as it looks, but it is. I was never a Hottie fan but nobody deserves that!

Triple nod!
I seriously won't be shocked if as a result of that joke, people starting do that when celebs are in bad movies/Burger King commerials.

maybe the guy needs the money....

I thought the commercial was funny and intentionally campy. Darius Rucker has never been one to take himself too seriously. But I like Hootie, and I also dig Darius' solo stuff.

Still there's gotta be better ways of making it





Though that sammich is damn good!!

whats he advertizing? i hope it lives up the burger king quality taste.

Like I said...gay cowboy.

Anxiety said:

they only had one or two hit records, right? considering his band had to account for the label's recoupable costs (promotion, touring, studio time, videos, "gifts" the record company sent the band), they are probably all broke. i'd be surprised if the don't owe the record execs some cash.

'The Wild One" was a great song!! he should have never gone back to Hootie

SassyBritches said:

yeah, you're right.

Anxiety said:

they should owe us some money, too. we were the ones that got stuck hearing those god awful songs everywhere for a year or two!

Speaking of Darius, he was at some animal auction thing in Columbia. Anyway,BK commercials are starting to get kinda weird compared to the way they used to be. They're a little more humorous and creative now. That woman at the end looks so familiar....I can't think of her name right now, but she's the one that says "Come and get it". oh well, it'll come back to me later.

this one was kinda off.


oops

Look on the bright side: At least he's enunciating.
