The Big Mac was introduced in 1968.  The song came along in 1974.  The commercial below is from 1975.  I knew all of the words.  ALL of my friends knew the words.  Assuming you were born, did you?

According to Wikipedia, the song ad only ran for a year and a half.  I guess that was one heck of a jingle.  I still remember it word for word and note for note.  By the way, that link also has a listing of the count on Big Mac Calories for different countries.  Surprise...The U.S. has the highest!  I couldn't find any proof online, but I sort of think the Big Mac has shrunk over the years.  Take a look and compare.

OK, now that you've got that seventies vibe going on, I hope you'll look around and check out some of the 70s outfits available for you to check out!
