Video: In-N-Out Animal-Style Parody of 'Gangnam Style'
A local group of comedians produced a parody of Psy's now-famous "Gangnam Style" music video focusing on In-N-Out's famous burgers that any burger-loving Angeleno would get a kick out of. Local lifeguards attempted to do something similar, but ended up getting busted for doing so on city property. These young guns did so on private property, thankfully, so hopefully it'll stay up for a long time. But we do imagine Chick-fil-A will not be pleased with the song's religious references.
The lyrics, and the production for that matter, manages to make fun of all sorts of Angeleno stereotypes, from the bros and yogis. The song moves fast, so here's a look at the lyrics:
In-N-Out is my favorite fast food restaurant
Their secret menu has everything that I want
100 percent beef on a fresh bun, or get the Flying Dutchman
In-N-Out is christian, but they don't hate
In-N-Out in college, is all that i ate
In-N-Out is the place to bring your cheap dates
In-N-Out I love In-N-Out
Pink lemonade, strawberry milkshake, and extra spread and more spread
Pink lemonade, strawberry milkshake, and extra spread and more spread
Mustard, pickles, grilled onions, and we wnat spread, spread, put the spread up on that breads
I want animal style!
Take a peek and get ready for an afternoon laugh. (Full disclosure: The producer of this video is actually my younger brother, so I'm a bit biased.)
