Panda Cheese Panda Will Destroy You

So you’re in Egypt for some reason, checking out the Sphinx or something, and someone offers you a delightful snack of Panda Cheese.
Being the idiot that you are, you say no.
Bad move, fool!
Panda Cheese Panda will make you regret the day you had the gall to decline his delicious cheese.
Best Egyptian advertising campaign ever? Pretty much.

The song on the Panda Cheese commercial is “True Love Ways” by Buddy Holly with harmonies by the trio The Picks (John and Bill Pickering and Bob Lapham – author of “Meet Me At The River Buddy Holly”). The Picks did the harmonies on 9 of the songs on the 1957 “The Chirping Crickets” Brunswick LP. They recorded many more songs with harmonies with Buddy in 1984, including “True Love Ways”. http://www.buddyhollyandthepicks.com
Thanks for the comment. I cross posted this tune to the ROTI Facebook page.
