According to ClickZ.com, the Burger King fast-food chain is launching and promoting its own teen-targeted metal group through both TV spots and a web site.

The band is COQ ROQ. The gimmick: chicken masks and poultry-themed songs with names like "Bob Your Head" and "Cross the Road". Lyrics are sprinkled with references to BK's new chicken fries, which "rebel against convention," according to a company statement.

The group's web site offers up a multimedia surround view of the branded band. Have-it-your-ways songs come in streaming, MP3 and mobile ringtone formats. Music video-style ads for the band will air on network and cable TV, including SpikeTV, MTV and VH1. A URL for the site appears at the end of the spots.

The web site has profiles on the band members, who have names like Fowl Mouth and Free Range.

The music to that sounds very familiar.

I'm thinking Motorhead.

EDIT: Yep...it's Motorhead's "Cross The Line"

I remember Starburst doing a promotion similar to this a few years back that annoyed everybody.

I love the internet. Every so often you come across something that makes you laugh more then you ever thought possible. That is so funny. I can't believe anyone ever thought that would be a good idea.

Poor Subservient Chicken, he just isn't doing the business anymore. Is he going to become chicken nuggets or is the fact he's even remotely considered a chicken reason enough not to use him?

[YI]

1.99....1.99....1.99 ¬_¬ Now that's real Burger King music.

Seriously. What the fuck is this? Most retarded idea EVER!!!

[apsham]

Going with the Slipknot angle....

If you're $5.95 then I'm $4.66.

[MalaCloudy Black]

HAHAHA GUYS THEY'RE SO CLEVER.

Get it, Coq Roq?! IT'S A PLAY ON COCK ROCK WHICH IS A STYLE OF GENERIC 80'S MUSIC. AND ROOSTERS ARE COCKS LOL.

..God I hate those commercials. So moronic.

[Guest burton420]

what would've been worse, is if they did this like 6 years ago, but instead of a metal band, they did a boy band (or girl band, or a both band).

its only aimed at preteens though, so they'll grow tired of the band quickly, If this project does fly though.

Just saw the video for Bob Your Head, the sounds reminds me of Velvet Revolver for some odd reason.
