"Vehicle" in a Carl's Jr ad but it sounded like a cover, not the original. Did Jim Peterik want too much money? Great gawd in heaven, indeed.

Foster Farms Amazing Chicken shtick.  First it was a chorus of chickens clucking to Pet Shop Boys "Don't You Want Me?" and the next commercial was "Sister Christian."

ugh
