This McDonald’s ad, promoting the new Fruitizz kids’ drink, features a piece of music by the German composer Carl Orff. Gassenhauer, which roughly translates as “blockbuster”, is from his Schulwork compositions, and can be found on the collection Musica Poetica. It’s been used many times onscreen in the past, but shouldn’t be confused with the very similar Hans Zimmer piece (“You’re So Cool”) used in the movie True Romance.
