Wendy’s new emo rock album, Songs to Listen to in a Wendy’s Parking Lot is probably my favorite fast food promo project since the anime-styled “choose your own adventure”/dating simulator game I Love You Colonel Sanders.
With songs produced by Matt Squire (credits include Panic! at the Disco, 3oh!3, All Time Low, Simple Plan and Sum 41) and featuring the following artists…
- Matty Mullins of Memphis May Fire and Anberlin
- Chloe Kinnon of Winona Fighter
- Shane Told of Silverstein
- Beau Bokan of Blessthefall, Derek DiScanio of State Champs
- Kat Leon of Holy Wars
…it’s a fun listen, and even more fun because of silly Wendy’s-related lyrics like:
- “Always fresh, never frozen,”
- “Square burgers saved my soul”
- “It’s not a phase, It’s a 10-piece.”
- “Great together, like Frosty and fries,”
- “Dipped fries, a salty sweet goodbye”
- “My Frosty’s funeral.”
Alas, I haven’t found any lyrics about the chili yet.
Anyway, the album’s a better and more fun listen than I expected. Check it out!
