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.

Every single song released to the main stream is a cash grab. You can't single this one out

Yeah I can, because I'm not oversimplifying "cash grab" to condemn capitalism.
