WENDY'S

Does anyone else find the new Wendy's commercials funny? They start out talking about the chili and baked potatoes. The music in the background is a jumpy jive on a bass guitar, with no words. Let me tell you aboout the words. They are from a Violent Femmes song, the lyrics of which go, "When I'm a Walkin' I strut my stuff, and I'm so strung out. I'm high as a kite, I just might, stop to check you out".

Given that Wendy's is open late night, and they're advertising chili, the whole "High as a Kite" guitar riff cracks me up.

Love it.

Hi

The Violent Femmes are the BEST part of the new ads...YEAH for the Femmes. Other words of other songs maynot work for any ads but love it anyway!! Reminds me of college:)
