Fancy Like Applebees

It be a stupid fucking song.

He'd be cute if he kept his mouth shut and didn't move.

Wait. This is serious? Good lord. I thought this was a joke but it’s actually on the Country charts.

I remember reading an article about dollar stores years ago. In it, a woman was quoted as saying that she preferred shopping at dollar stores because he didn't have to get all dressed up all fancy like when shopping at Walmart.

Beware of people who use the word fancy. It's like how most people who use the word classy are not.

He’s HOT but married with six kids. Wife was the high school sweetheart. Sadly, she miscarried their seventh child a few years ago.

There are two guys in the commercial that are smoking hot.

Die in an Applebee's grease fire.

Remember when country music was Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Tammy Wynette etc? Now we have Fancy Like Applebee’s. Shit sucks now

Can’t help smiling at the dancers. They seem like they’re having a good time.

The words to the song don’t really make sense - or sentences.

Yeah, we fancy like Applebee's on a date night (that's right)

Got that Bourbon Street steak with the Oreo shake (ayy)

Get some whipped cream on the top too (gotta add that whipped cream)

Two straws, one check, girl, I got you (girl, I got you)

Bougie like Natty in the styrofoam (styrofoam)

Squeak-squeakin' in the truck bed all the way home (all the way home)

Some Alabama-jamma, she my Dixieland delight

Ayy, that's how we do, how we do, fancy like

The lyrics are stupid, but even though I'd never be caught dead in an Applebees, this ad is great fun. My favorite is the tall, well built hot guy in the cowboy hat towards the end -

Of course it's #1! This country is a shitpile of taste.

Country + rap = Crap

R9, I loathe this song, commercial, and food establishment - but every terrible lyrics makes trashy sense. They’re going on a relatively high- class date at Applebee’s (rather than Wendy’s). They’re getting a cheap piece of meat slathered in sugary sauce, accompanied by a milkshake with Oreos and very-necessary whipped cream. They’re splitting the shake, but he is paying for both of them (apparently, not the usual routine). They feel trashy-rich, just like having a styrofoam cooler full of beer. Apparently, the color makes noise in the truck bed on the drive home - though there is a string sexual implication avoided by the impossibility of fucking in the back of a moving truck. He loves her, but is clear to distinguish their coupledom from pretentious Northerners. And that’s his idea of a special celebration.

Of course it’s terrible. They love that part the best.

Lol r13!

When will the south secede already? They’re like the drunk molesting uncle of the American family.

Even before reading this I instinctively loathed that song and commercial first time I heard it. No wonder.

R9 are you sure that's not a Cheesecake Factory menu you're quoting from?

Same pedestrian food whipped up with eclectic ingredients, vainly attempting to pass as edible.

[Quote] Bougie like Natty in the styrofoam

I understand all the lyrics except this one. Can someone translate?

Bougie is mocking shorthand for Bourgeois. Natty is a nickname for Anheuser-Busch Natural Light. Styrofoam is a disposable cooler.

Thank you, r19.

I thought Natty was Natty Bo, National Bohemian.

I also think he’s referencing National Bohemian, known colloquially in its place of origin, Baltimore, MD, as Natty Boh. Though, why a southern boy is referencing a Mid-Atlantic beer is a mystery.

It’s Natty Ice(Natural Ice) a favorite beer amongst rednecks and hillbillies because it’s cheap and you get drunk quicker.

I live in a red state and at a party someone always brings Natty Ice.

[quote]Beware of people who use the word fancy. It's like how most people who use the word classy are not.

He's using "fancy" ironically. You can tell because Natty Ice is not "fancy" by any stretch of the imagination like r19 and r23 said. His audience understands that there's nothing fancy about Applebees. It's a joke to the people who like this song.

Deplorable food for deplorable people.

There are many places in this country where Applebees is literally considered fancy because it’s the most upscale and cleanest restaurant in town with top notch service. Yes, you can imagine what the rest of the eateries in that town must look like.

Wasn’t Blake Shelton going for something like this with Minimum Wage? And everybody shitted on him for it.

One time I ate at Applebee’s and got drunk after dinner then the guys I was there with took me to their apartment and forced me to suck them off and eat their loads.

I bet he voted for The Orange One.

One time I got plastered there and three guys forced me to suck their feet and cocks in their SUV.

That wasn’t an SUV, R30. It was an ambulance, and those guys were first responders taking you to get the help you needed then and still need now.

I have avoided Applebee’s since around the turn of the century or so. There was a show on A&E or Bravo or something. It was about gay couples having wedding ceremonies. There was a big hubbub about it of course with the religious right saying they were going to not use places who advertised on the show. Apparently an Applebee’s ad appeared on it that they didn’t purchase and they wanted to make it very clear they DIDN’T advertise on it. I was never a big Applebee’s fan, but after that I decided to just not go again.

It hate this ad. And they are not fancy, either real or ironically.

I r31 fuck you. You have no idea what I did that night.

Yuck. I swear I thought it was a group of black guys singing that redneck song. So many commercials are celebrating those MAGAt types. Then later, they stick a couple black people in it.

It's the beer

With a song like that playing makes me wanna suck country boy Midwest cock and feet!

That's nice dear

I don't know what's worse the actual song or the video of a middle aged white man mimicking the mannerisms of 20-year old black rapper. It's beyond cringe.

R38 face it- you’re old.

[QUOTE] face it- you’re old.

That’s what somebody should’ve told Walker before he started dancing like Robocop.

I thought “fancy” was country music code for prostitute?

r39, I'm 25 and black. His video reminded me of every suburban white guy that thinks acting and talking like they're from Harlem or Southeast Atlanta makes them cool. The fact that he is a 40-something married man with 75 kids just makes it even worse.

I listened for five seconds before shutting that trash off. American music is dead and each new song is a fresh load landing on its rotting corpse.

I read on some music forum (Pulse or ATRL) that apparently the singer is rather progressive and a gay ally, but can't sure and dont' care to search for it.

r42 i'm 48 yrs old.

R4 Sadly? The planet is far overburdened and you are sad about this? If he was unattractive would you even care? So sick of reading frau fantasies from Flyoverland. Why can't all the fat straight women on here get their own site?

Yes, sadly. They have a passel of kids, but it’s no joyous occasion for parents to lose a child. Oh, and I’m no woman, Budrick. You do know what they say about people who assume, right?

It's my favorite commercial right now. I love those sexy cowboys swiveling their asses.

R47 I did not say that you are a woman. I said that you are a frau. You worship pregnancy, if it's white and Christian and married. When you are firing that many redneck offspring out of your uterus, it's not a tragedy. They can't adequately care for the children they are now ignoring.

It’s ok R20. 99% of country fans don’t know that word, either.

Like any inbred Trump voter knows what “bourgeoisie” means. Know your audience!

The younger fans know, R51. Thanks to that Migos song even white kids know what it means now.

He's cute and the song's catchy.

What's the problem?

“It be” You sound like trash.

I’ve been finger fucking myself silly to this

How vivid

Applebee’s? Fancy? This sounds like the theme song of the inbred.

[quote]I thought “fancy” was country music code for prostitute?

I thought it was cat food.

Singer is a DILF (times 6).

I can deny neither that he is incredibly hot, nor that that song is the most idiotic county song I've heard since "My Achy-Breaky Heart."

Here he is clean-shaven (in 2017).

Sorry, here is link.

It's amazing how a word black Americans coined and have been using for GENERATIONS (I'm 57 and have heard "bougie" literally my entire life) has only in the last five years or so "crossed over" to the white American consciousness.

(And, like most slang borrowed from black Americans, is used incorrectly 90+% of the time, like "jacked up", "showed out", and dozens more).

^Truth. Just like when Miley "made" twerking famous, when not only was it widely known in the black community for years but is often performed by strippers, black women when they hit the dance floor, etc.

Yes.

I'd drink his bath water!

The OP's pic shows he has excellent teeth.

Isn't this the redneck version of gay baiting?

DL should write a song called "Classy Like Chili's"

We could make a mint!!!!

I’d love to suck his cock, feet and asshole!

He looks less attractive without the beard

Black people invented bougie? I thought French people invented bougie.

Regardless, all this is a rip off of The Git Up, which set the country frau crowd on fire a year or so ago.

“Fancy Like Applebee’s”

aka “Greg’s Theme”

Also, The Git Up was a tongue-in-cheek rip-off of Old Town Road by some Darrius Rucker-wannabe named Blanco Brown.

I want him to dom me using his feet n cock!

The beautiful guys in that 'Git Up' video are either completely dickless or they were tucking might hard.

Nobody needs 7 kids.

R77 Tell that to Rick Santorum, Alec Baldwin and James Van der Beek.

This song fucking sucks. It's not even a good shitty pop song.

Trashy food, trashy music, trashy people.

I thought the song was written just for the commercial. I was surprised to learn it is a real song. We didn't have a lot of money growing up so my parents considered Applebee's "fancy" along with just about any other place you had to sit at a table and be waited on. We were used to the McDonald's/Wendy's/Burger King drive-thrus if we were going to eat anywhere at all. The song is still kind of obnoxious, though.

I live in a college town and once in a blue moon go to the Applebee's, and every time I do the college students (who make up 99% of their clientele) stare at me and whoever I'm with like we're their parents and are gonna get them in trouble. Thought it was just me but the reviews for our Applebee's are full of people over 30 going "wtf is with the staring?" and it's hilarious.

It's weird to me that "bougie" supposedly only just now became popular because I distinctly remember hearing it in use in the 1990s, even Roseanne Barr said it on Arsenio, but maybe she was trying to sound like she was down with the brothers.

He's hot, but all those kids indicate he's a religious nutcase...probably a member of the quiverfull movement like the Duggars.

I'm super happy for him. I saw him three years ago at a very small venue, his new album was out but wasn't a huge success. Really nice guy, met him backstage (my friend works in country radio). Yes, Fancy Like" is kinda corny, but it's also pretty real, if you live like that. I know people who drink Natty, eat "fancy" (what they can afford) and hang out in the flatbed of a truck. Sometimes I'm back there too 😉

I love Country cock and feet!

I’m soooo looking forward to the Eat & Park country song!

It's basically deplorable in commercial form.

who's the cowboy in the Wranglers with the big ass that really shakes it for spot.

I’ve never been so glad that I am me & that I don’t know this song or have ever been to an Applebee’s.

[quote] I thought the song was written just for the commercial. I was surprised to learn it is a real song.

How could it not be written for the commercial when it’s naming all the restaurant’s dishes and drinks. Was the Big Mac song listing all the Big Mac ingredients a real song too?

It's so damn stupid but it makes me smile. Despite myself. I love the commercial and love that that Walker is so wholesomely hot!

He wrote it knowing Applebees would likely use it. The song sucks donkey dick but that was a smart move. Also he's the first guy in the commercial dancing with the teen.

Applebee’s sucks but I like the song and the commercial.

I hadn't realized white people use the term bougie much at all, R63. I've understood it to mean pretentious, self-impressed, etc.

R93, I hate you for bringing this thread back. I literally had the fucking song stuck in my head yesterday and now it's back. That fucking shit song for a shit, trashy restaurant

Southerner here. We tried to secede, you wouldn't let us. Maybe we have finally played our cards right & at last you will let us go. We'd Love to leave all you & your mess behind.

LOL, BYE! ^

I have no trouble with you seceding. See ya!

Please assemble all your friends I do a petition, do a march, contact your Bougie Reps. We are so ready to see the backs of you Yankees...

It's like trying to force Canada and Pakistan to live in the same country. Bye, Pakistan!!

R100? You act like an actual effort would need to be made by us "Yankees" to separate from you southern leeches. You're essentially some asshole who walks into a packed restaurant that is booked months in advance and screaming that you'll never go there again because they won't give you a table. WTF would the restaurant care that they lost you?

You have no fucking economy of your own. TX would have to care of all of you worthless states.

take* care

I love it!

It’s so cool how country is merging with hip hop

The video with Kesha is agreeably campy

That is the gayest commrcial!

what's really noteworthy is this is the first time I can recall a song being a hit on the radio/charts at the same time as it was allowed to be used commercially! Usually songs become hits and then a few years later if the singer is having money troubles then the song reappears in ads. This guy clearly is thinking he's not guaranteed to get another hit so better make as much money at once as he can.

It's understandable given that about 10 years ago he came out with his debut album and it completely flopped. His success this year must be a surprise. His old pics he had that horrible Bieber haircut too lmao

R108 I thought it was that Applebee’s was on the verge of financial collapse so it was a good thing for both to take advantage of it now since they might not be here in a few years when he could sell it to them?

My SIL is a general manager for Applebee’s. Lol I’m going to send a link to my daughter.

LOL the hate for this song is so funny. It's fun and it's catchy, it knows it's trashy and is making fun of itself. All the way to the bank.

LOL

No one was checking for this song or thread for a week and suddenly KESHA (whom no one has checked for awhile now) makes it worthy of a comment…

🤔

Love this song

I guess it appeals to the trashy set.

R113, LOVE? Jesus, you have no standards.

[quote]His video reminded me of every suburban white guy that thinks acting and talking like they're from Harlem or Southeast Atlanta makes them cool. The fact that he is a 40-something married man with 75 kids just makes it even worse.

Gurl if I could get pregnant I'd be pushing out his babies every other year just like his wife. Good white dick!

His new song is heavily funk influenced. It’s an interest combo .
