It's been established as an annoying earworm and upsets Beethoven greatly.
 
I agree.
 
But since it's stuck in my head.... I must ask:
 
What the heck are they saying?
 
I've got:
Manwich, manwich, we adore thee
Fun and easy and sparkly, too
blablablabla
napkins now unfold before thee,
lalalala I don't care about the rest....
 
It can't be "sparkly."
 
That word is really bothering me.
 
Anyone?
Let's try not to be boring, mkay?

I think it's "sloppy" and not "sparkly".  Wink   

 
And here's an interesting little tidbit I picked up on the Manwich song debacle.  Of course there are other articles on the internet about how this ad is "demeaning to Christians" but I'll let people dig those up themselves:

http://www.cantusquercus.com/fauxmercial.htm

QUOTED FROM THE ABOVE LINK: 
8. Hunt's Manwich Sauce (ConAgra Foods), promo seen in Chicago on NBC 5, ABC 7, FOX 32, etc. by viewer J.P. and others during August, 2007, totally debases the chorus from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony by parodying the words: "Manwich, Manwich, we adore thee... napkins now unfold before thee..." (See letter). See ConAgra's reply. It appears from their reply that they are unrepentant about the use of the music, although they dutifully apologize for "any offense it may have caused." They don't 'get it' that they have parodied the lyrics. Nor do they seem to have any appreciation of how to tell whether the context of using Beethoven's/Schiller's high and noble work would be appropriate.

I think the Manwich people now have a new product idea:  Manwich Sparkly.   Nothing says lovin' and home cookin' like a hamburger bun stuffed full of  iridescent  tomato-ey, meat-like-product.  Mmmmmm....mmmm...makes your taste buds sparkle!   Tongue

Didn't they call these things "Loose Meat Sandwiches" on Roseanne?
 
Sounds pretty vague, doesn't it?

Loose meat doesn't have the sauce a "sloppy Joe" has.  It's just the cooked seasoned ground beef on the bun.  http://www.momsview.com/discus/messages/135/7142.html

That reminds me of a story.  When we first moved to Houston three summers ago, my husband's company put us up in a Residence Inn for a month.  Each night they offered a complimentary dinner buffet.  I always checked with the front desk ahead of time to see if they were serving something we liked or not liked so that we could make our dinner plans accordingly.  The one night, the guy who was working behind the front desk was your stereotypical "Latin-lover" type, a.k.a. "Oily Bo-Hunk" -- long, slick dark hair pulled back into a ponytail, shirt with a couple of buttons opened, & that "come-hither/I make women swoon" accent.  When I asked him what was on the menu that particular night, he replied with something that I could've sworn sounded like "Love meat," which seemed very fitting with his image.  Not to seem ignorant, I politely responded "Excuse me?"  This guy was just not familiar with classic American dishes because he had to go back into the office & check with someone what it was.  He came back & said "Ah, uh, meat loaf."LOL

That reminds me of the Seinfeld episode when Kramer had a handsome cab, and fed Beef-A-Reeno to the horse.

Meat love is funny.  But then again, so is meat loaf.  Meat balls, too.  And ALBONDIGAS!! (Spanish for meat balls)

One of the lines I from my 9th grade Spanish class that I had to memorize was "A mi no me gustan las ALBONDIGAS!!"  I thought that was the funniest word.

I love that stuff!!
 
Back when my metabolism was not that of a 52 y/o, I'd eat the entire meat/sauce/bun concoction in one meal.  That'd be like 8 sloppy joes probably in about a half hour!!  God, I miss those days.

Yes!
 
It was on the other day, and became an earworm. 
 
"...Oh Mom won't you
Make me another Manwich,
Forget the mac-and-cheese
I want some fun piled on a bun
I want a Manwich please...."
 
No.  No I will not.  And stop singing that.

My mind had been clear until I realized this thread had come back to life...at that very moment, the Very Bad Beethoven started rolling through my mind...Thanks HR. Now I've got indigestion and no ideas of what to do about anything - the day is ruined.
