St. Louis Actor Stars in World's First Power Ballad to Pork

St. Louis’s own Danny McCarthy is starring in a new, hilarious music video and campaign as the Johnsonville Brattender.

 

In the video, McCarthy is transformed into our tong-wielding summer hero. No one is more committed to the grilling of juicy, flavor-explosive meats, so he’s letting everyone know that piercing the brat allows the juice to run out, leaving the brat dry. To spread his message, he created the “Don’t Pierce the Brat” music video. His take on a classic ’80s rock ballad, with masterfully crafted lyrics and high-intensity explosions, will surely have St. Louis laughing and singing along.

Now through Aug. 30, fans can submit their video to Johnsonville’s Facebook page for a chance to win $5,000 and free Johnsonville brats for a year. The winning entry will be selected Sept. 9 and announced shortly thereafter.
