Uber Eats' Super Bowl Ad Features Booker T's 'Green Onions'

Booker T. Jones, a celebrated musician and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, had his iconic hit 'Green Onions' featured in Uber Eats' Super Bowl 2025 commercial, which stars Matthew McConaughey alongside celebrities like Martha Stewart and Kevin Bacon. The ad humorously proposes a conspiracy theory that football was invented to sell food, with 'Green Onions' providing a nostalgic backdrop. Jones expressed his pride in the ad, noting its clever editing and connection to his lifelong love for football. In addition to the classic track, a newly recorded version titled 'Green Onions (62’ Onions Cut)' featuring his son has also been released. The commercial and song together highlight the enduring influence of 'Green Onions,' which has been streamed over 200 million times since its original release in 1962. This moment marks yet another achievement in Jones' illustrious career, further solidifying the song's cultural significance across generations.
