Wendy’s rockin’ new album makes it feel like the late ’90s/early 00’s again

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…

…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!

You can find the songs on the usual streaming music services, as well as YouTube. I’ve posted them below:
