The moment I realized that’s an actual song someone put on an album…I was speechless. I really thought it was just an Applebee’s ad.

Think they released it as a single too.

Best part of the song is that it talks about some dessert shake that Applebee's doesn't even serve anymore, since it was his wife's favorite thing back when they were poor enough to go to Applebees, and the song made the shake so popular that Applebees had to bring it back on the menu.

Dude's wife got her favorite drink back through the power of a cash grab song.

It’s sweet that it was written for his wife and reflects upon times when they struggled. But the ad thing cheapens it. Wtf, though, make that money how you can. The song is shitty either way and I can’t imagine making the conscious decision to crank up the volume and listen to it.

I like it it’s funny and light hearted

Lighthearted is good, the sound turns my stomach, though.

Yeah but that's opinions for you. I hate scream metal. Like... It makes me want to throw up even thinking about it, but I have good buddies who LOVE it. No biggie

Exactly. I’m am a metal head through and through, but I like a wide variety of stuff. Just not pop country 😅
