Arby's has released a number of creative posts on TikTok to promote its menu offerings over the last few months, which now includes its catchy sea shanty that's is sure to get fans in the headspace to enjoy its Crispy Fish Sandwich.
The nautical jingle is sung by American actor Ving Rhames, who famously portrayed Marsellus Wallace in 'Pulp Fiction.' The comedic clip shows an Arby's boat at sea before cutting to its sandwich, all while the sea shanty plays in the background. Through the sea shanty's simple lyrics, Arby's highlights how its Crispy Fish Sandwich is better than the Filet-O-Fish offered by McDonald's—calling its competitor's product "shrunken," "square and boring," while crowning its own as the "new king."
