It dawned on me that the latest and greatest jingle from the Outback Steakhouse may not actually be a true jingle. Rather, it's an awesome song that has been disguised as a jingle. Now, see, this is lame. I think the people behind Outback Steakhouse ads need to put down their Bloomin' Onion and start jogging their creativity. Couldn't they write an original jingle for a steak chain instead of twisting the lyrics from an Of Montreal song? Here are a couple options they could have used if they really thought about it:
"If you want a steak that bigger than a mouse,
then come on down to the Outback Steakhouse!"
or
"Come eat at the Outback
And see what it's about
Come at the Outback
And leave a little stout!"
Just some lyrics for them to consider. Below please enjoy listening to the current Outback jingle, followed by the Of Montreal song they ripped off. Then, as an extra special bonus, listen to this EMF song from the 90's and see if you can figure out what modern commerical ripped it off for their own lame jingle. Here's a hint: The lyric rhymes with "It's dumbelievable!"

kraft, "crumbelievable" from their 2005 release, "oops, I shit my pants"
Um I'm pretty sure "Oops, I shit my pants" was featured in a Taco Bell commercial.
You're right. It was off the 2006 release, "Cheese from unda."
Exactly. The 2006 release, "Cheese from unda...and on your fupa."
You guys are both wrong. It was off the 2004 release, "Your Personal Cheddar Cheesus."
No "You Personal Cheddar Cheesus" was a Cabot's cheddar cheese jingle from the early 90's. Man, get it right.
And that's right, I meant "You."
