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

so, you're watching the Foster Farms Bowl, then?

We were, but it lacked, how you say, suspense!

Some time ago I joked that groups like Fun seemed to be writing songs with an eye to how they would sound when covered by the kids on "Glee". And here's a McDonald's commercial with Fun's "Carry On" sounding like it's being sung by the kids from "Glee".

Not a Mad Men devotee, and I think I've already heard spoilers (1971?), so you don't have to hold back on my account.

If you really want to hear said song, check out my '71 fantasy set on SoundCloud...
