"Whopper Whopper" is a song by American fast food restaurant chain Burger King that serves as a jingle for the advertisement of the chain's signature hamburger, the Whopper. It is part of Burger King's advertising campaign You Rule! and a variation of The Burger King jingle.[2][3] Beacon Street Studios developed the song and other versions of it.[1] The jingle is known for its use on a television advertisement, also known by the same name, released on November 17, 2022.[2] The song, and "Burger Cheese Burger Cheese," were released as a single named "You Rule. Jingles" onto Spotify on February 3, 2023.[4]

Reception[edit]

Reception towards the song is mixed, with some people liking it and many others finding it irritating.[5] News outlets have described the song as viral,[3] catchy,[1] and an earworm.[6] During the 2023 NFL playoffs, some fans expressed frustration at hearing the song during ad breaks.[3] In 2023, the advertisement was not played at Super Bowl LVII,[7] with Burger King instead opting to release the song on Spotify. The song has now become an Internet meme.[8]

More recently, Steve Aoki and MTV created a remix for the song, which got a lot of recognition.
