It's easily one of Dallas' best jingles. When "I want my babybackbabybackbabybackbabyback" debuted from Dallas born 'n bred chain Chili's, the song was inescapable. It's basically the Trophy! Trophy! Trophy Nissan! of baby back ribs.
Even boy-band 'N Sync did its own dreamy version of the baby back ditty.
The man who sang the "babecue sauce" part of the jingle, Willie McCoy, was so well known for his role in the song that The Dallas Morning News wrote an obituary about him when he died in 2012.
In honor of the 30-year anniversary of Chili's famous baby backs, the company is singing about ribs again, this time with emoji. Because it's 2016, y'all:
In a press release, Chili's notes they're doing a $10.99 special that comes with a half-rack of ribs, French fries, a salad and a mini molten chocolate cake. Better start the meal with some skillet queso if you know what's good for you.
Happy birthday to the baby back ribs. Now seriously, get outta my head.
