[FRIAM] Unexpected success

[Jochen Fromm]

No, not at all. Nobody has heard about it here. I have discovered the song in the Canadian charts and then found reports on YouTube which explain the TikTok story and the background here on WGN-TVhttps://youtu.be/3rtISNjb06kand here on CNBChttps://youtu.be/IdozZS38CsoIf you see the YouTube reports then you will agree that Walker Hayes seems to be a nice guy who is a good dad and deserves the unexpected success. Maybe he is making fun of his own country, but I don't understand the song text good enough to recognize the subtleties (upgrade? styrofoam?) and I have never been to an Applebee's either. I don't know what it is like. J.

Is this how Germans make fun of Americans?

Have you heard the story of Walker Hayes? He is a country singer from Franklin, Tennessee, who struggled to make a living in order to feed his 6 six kids. During the pandemic he wrote a song "Fancy Like". After listening to his song his daughter
 convinced him that it needs a dance. The two recorded a dance together, uploaded it on TikTok and the song went viral. Applebees noticed it and turned it into a commercial. Now Walker has finally the commercial success he was looking for, thanks to Applebees,
 his daughter and a dance on TikTok. Have you tried a Bourbon Street Steak at Applebees? Is it good?
