Return
In 2007, Mac Tonight was given a CGI makeover and starred in a new commercial in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa and The Philippines. He is no longer seen flying over Earth or a city with a piano, but instead he dances on top of a McDonald's store singing and playing a saxophone. He also has a different, slightly gruffer voice, and new lyrics. All references to "Mack the Knife" have been removed, partially because Bobby Darin's estate didn't approve of the re-working.

- "All day and all night, step out for a bite.
- Oh for treats that delight, --24 Hours a day!
- Come down to Mac Tonight, hey!
- Chill out, (name of country), McDonald's is 24 Hours
- Come down to Mac Tonight, -24 Hours 'round the clock.
- Come on down to Mac Tonight!"
Recently, Taiwan has begun to run Mac Tonight ads with Mac speaking Mandarin Chinese. Similarly, Hong Kong has a new commercial featuring the character, in which Mac Tonight is voiced by singer Eason Chan, in order to promote local branches' new 24-hour operation schedule.

Famous quotes containing the word return:
“The return of my birthday, if I remember it, fills me with thoughts which it seems to be the general care of humanity to escape.”

Be led to my own room by well-intentioned hands,
Placed in a box with a lid whose underside is dark
So as to grow....”

“This spending of the best part of one’s life earning money in order to enjoy a questionable liberty during the least valuable part of it reminds me of the Englishman who went to India to make a fortune first, in order that he might return to England and live the life of a poet. He should have gone up garret at once.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
