Forget the John Lewis's cringeworthy Bear and the Hare, and all those other rubbish Christmas ads, this KFC commercial is better than all of them.
LYRICS
Ohhh Ohhh ... Yeahhh
I almost tore your hair out for the last doll in the store
But the things that once divided us don’t matter any more
We showed up at your house again, singing all our stupid songs
Normally I’d hose you down, but now it just seems wrong
Let’s come together at Christmas time put all our differences aside
One thing on which we all agree, the delicious taste of KFC
Typically I hate your guts and I tried to kill you but
One of everybody’s vices is 11 herbs and spices
Ohhh whooo hooo ... seasoned meat
I scream and cry and then I leave a wet spot on your knee
But this year your behavior doesn’t bother me
Our over-zealous snowball fight will cost you hundreds in repairs
And though we’d usually sue your parents, now we just don’t care
Let’s come together at Christmas time putting all our differences aside
Because one of everybody’s vices is 11 herbs and spices
Eleven months a year you drive me mad, this year you don’t seem so bad
One thing on which we all agree, the delicious taste of KFC
Let’s come together at Christmas time putting all our differences aside
Because one of everybody’s vices is 11 herbs and spices
Eleven months a year you drive me mad, this year you don’t seem so bad
One thing on which we all agree, the delicious taste of KFC
COMMENT
It's nice to see that a major brand like KFC can poke fun at themselves (and the traditional Xmas TV commercial). Mind you, it doesn't change the fact that the food is crap.
