Wendy's

Who sings the cover version of "Magic Carpet Ride" on the new Wendy's commercial? It shows a picnic blanket floating like a magic carpet and getting food from the drive up window at Wendy's. It's a girl singing and it's more poppy than the original. Thanks.

Nobody knows this? I thought it'd get answered pretty quickly since it's a cover song. Okay, here are the lyrics played on the commercial:

I like to dream yeah, yeah, right between my sound machine
Well, you don't know what we can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride

It's got a techno, poppy feel to it. A girl is singing. I really like this version, even better than the original. Please let me know who sings it if you know! Thanks.

is it steppenwolf - Magic Carpet Ride?

[Supercalifragilistic]

Steppenwolf it is !

[KannD86]

No, sorry. I meant to say it was a cover version of the Steppenwolf original. It's a girl singing the version on the Wendy's commercial. Thanks though.

I was looking for this too. I made a post about it and no one cared to answer.

Or maybe it's simply that nobody knows the answer.

My guess is that the song was done expressly for the commercial, but I could easily be wrong.

You might try emailing Wendy's on this because it seems no one has found the answer yet.

I went to the Wendy's website and looked at the section called "ads". I recognized most of the commercials, but none of them were the magic carpet ride one. So I clicked "Contact Us". They give a list of addresses and phone numbers for various sections of the company. No email addresses, not even an 800 number. I don't know how to contact them to ask them. But I'm still really curious. The song was stuck in my head all day yesterday.
