Why is KFC's music Sweet Home Alabama? An ode to the South and a rebuttal to Neil Young's condemnation of it, is supposed to make us want a bowl with mashed potatoes, chicken and gravy. Doesn't their ad agency realize what the K stands for? Kentucky. I am not a marketing executive (although I probably could be) but here are five songs that I think KFC should consider for their next round of ads.
  1. The Chicken Dance (Imagine a bunch of kids doing the chicken dance and being rewarded with a drumstick by their telegenic parents)
  2. Kentucky Woman (But only if we can actually have Neil Diamond serenading a bucket)
  3. We are the World (What better to sell chicken than an anthem about world hunger)
  4. You're Body's a Wonderland (How can anyone argue with John Mayer)
  5. Free Bird (If you had to have Skynrd why not a song about birds...
And this bird you'll never change.
And the bird you can not change.
And the bird you can not change.

Five minutes later, I am STILL laughing. That commercial will never be the same, and thank God for that, I say.
