Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen Salute The Big Cheese

Boy howdy, do I have a treat for you. In honor of International No Diet Day, today's menu consists of "Two Triple Cheese Side Order of Fries." You can thank Austin's Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen for that musical mouthful. Cheesy? Yup. Campy? Um...maybe a little. Riotously funny? Never a doubt. At the church of the unholy cheeseburger, Cody's the high priest and you know somewhere in your sinful side of the brain you want to get thee to that church as often as is humanly possible. When I was a wee lad McDonald's played a major role in my eating universe. I've had not one, not two, but three birthday celebrations there. So what I'm saying is I'm already a charter member. The video looks like it was made on a K-Mart sized budget but that doesn't distract from its inherent lovableness. What other video's gonna show you ketchup drippings all over a guitar? What other video's got the stones to show a cute black dog as a joking connective reference to what goes in the beef patties? In the dining hemisphere nothing says let your hair down quite like cheeseburgers and fries. Country star Charley Pride figured that out. Margarita swilling Jimmy Buffet got the message. Everything about "Two Triple Cheese Side Order of Fries" carries a combination of spandex tight harmonizing and goofy lyrics. I'll have to trust them on the Velveeta sticking like glue part since I to this day have never had Velveeta as a go with for any culinary attraction. The guitar work is hairpin turn chilling. The drums tap out a morse code of munch magnificence (Yes, I know. speak of cheese what about this nerd's alliteration?). Every time the band's impeccable chorus line delivers the titular tastiness the subliminal lure grows even harder to resist. Why don't they just scrawl that on people's forehead and have done already? Grease dripping down one's thighs? Absolutely a deal-clincher. Commander Cody and friends cooked up one for the books with this savory treat. It's worth loosening the notches on your belt.
