I remember this one !!! I loved singing along with it.

Do you all remember it, or was it only an Australia / NZ one ?

That one didn't run here in the States, but those kids do look American.

Never saw that one. My earliest memory of Kentucky Fried Chicken tv spots is the "Have a bucket of chicken (finger lickin' good) - Have a barrel of fun (goodbye 'ho-hum')..."

I just realized that the KFC jingle that's stuck in my memory was written by Manilow. DAMN YOU BARRY!

I can remember back to ads in which Colonel Sanders (the real one, not the zany animated one) would end the ad by singing, "If you want Kentucky Friiiiied Chicken, you'll have to visit me." I used to want to actually go visit the Colonel, but it turns out that isn't what he meant.

How silly. The steering wheel's on the wrong side of the car. That couldn't have run in America, at least not without a small print disclaimer that it was a dramatization and you should not try to move your steering wheel to the passenger side.

I thought you were talking about the Kentucky Fried movie ad spoofs (http://ccinsider.comedycentral.com/cc_insider/2007/01/kentucky_fried_.html)

Aw, I was just about to post that and you beat me to it.

He also wrote "You deserve a break today" for McDonald's, as well as "Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there". Talent just oozes from that man. ;)

WOW !! You have a good eye for detail. It didn't occur to me.... but I hope it will by the time I pick up the rental car at Orlando.....
