The Lyrics
The greatest advertisement in television history.
Wings have me spellbound, they’re tossed like Lucky Charms,
Heaven or hellbound, I catch them in my arms,
Did you see that ad by Arby’s,
Did Ving Rhames really come?
Each time, those sweet wings, are thrown up to the skies,
Why is Ving Rhames’ joy so hard to analyze?
Did you see that ad by Arby’s,
Did Ving Rhames really come?
What is this ad? A cannonball,
While wings fall,
Just like a mysterious game?
Crinkle-cut fries the same,
Arby’s dumb ad, I blame!
Though Ving’s excited, I just can’t see the point,
Saying “Whee!” at small wings is dumb; makes one annoyed,
Did you see that ad by Arby’s,
Did Ving Rhames really come?
Heaven or hellbound, I catch them in my arms,
Did you see that ad by Arby’s,
Did Ving Rhames really come?
Each time, those sweet wings, are thrown up to the skies,
Why is Ving Rhames’ joy so hard to analyze?
Did you see that ad by Arby’s,
Did Ving Rhames really come?
What is this ad? A cannonball,
While wings fall,
Just like a mysterious game?
Crinkle-cut fries the same,
Arby’s dumb ad, I blame!
Though Ving’s excited, I just can’t see the point,
Saying “Whee!” at small wings is dumb; makes one annoyed,
Did you see that ad by Arby’s,
Did Ving Rhames really come?

Hey Ronald McDonald, could you please quit your hack-posting “parodies” against Arby’s? No one else has talked about their ads on this site, yet you’ve done twenty trite little songs about them so far. The subject matter was old hat by day two, yet your Fetterman brain continues to poop them out. And of course, it wouldn’t be you if you didn’t parody 1930s recordings that no one else has ever heard of. If you want to slam Ving Rhames & Arby’s, be funny first. BTW, can’t wait for you to tap Captain Copy/Paste to do eight more parodies about some stupid Arby’s commercial.
