Wendy's

[ProjectFlashlight612]

What possessed Gordon Gano to sell Wendy's the rights to this song?!! That seems utterly out of character for him. He can't have needed the cash. Not as terrible as 'Come on Buick Light My Fire', but then what is?

[p0w3rs3rj]

when I'm high as a kite i justa might stop at wendys now... Stopped at the Sheetz, I stained my breifs and i dont even know why.its about to end, its brown again. now I start to cry

[NotoriousPirates]

This commercial broke up a great band. Screw you Wendy's.

[popsiclesuckers]

lawl at the song they used.

[twinkie57401]

Wendy's latest commercial sounds like the Magnetic Zeros whistling home in the background. At least Wendy's is current!

[Destructo47]

I am disappoint.

[thedood64]

Goddamned vegans who are VF fans getting pissy about art being used to sell crap food...really though, If it converted even one more VF fan im happy.

[webspid]

WTF?!?! Blister in te sun selling crappy burgers?!?! Does Wendy's has the right to do this?

[smedley]

Gordon, you just broke my heart.

[RawbThatPunk]

@smedley it sucks Gano lend the song rights to them.

[iamahab2]

what? the song was already huge when this commercial arrived. i say make a few bucks... it's not like the dude's buying a burger to "black girls"... although that would be awesome

[scgammon]

i didn't believe it.. now i see and hear it. they didn't use the lyrics but that doesn't help. i mean i guess it doesn't matter but...... sigh.

[TeresaB9]

this is about as sad as when the Ruff Riders Anthem appeared in a car rental commercial.

[StigGT2]

using a song about masturbation to promote a fast food restaurant. just think about that next time you have 'special sauce'

[juzz0]

This ad doesn't taste right .

Who'd a thunk it? That this flavourless crap could've *possibly* provided the catalyst for the eventual breakup of the femmes...

I see the merit in spreading their music to a wider audience. But that merit is totally demolished when I think of how we associate songs, and to a degree albums and whole bands, with tasteless products and marketing campaigns.

I wouldn't want my music to be linked to that Wendy's commercial (and then posted on Youtube for posterity...)

[Ieatbabyseals]

I think they'll get back together they've broken up before. I think it'll just be longer before they get back together this time.

[JCFXSI]

THAT WAS FUCKING HORRIBLE!

GANO YOU ASS HEAD... What the fuck are you thinking? Why would you destory the band over this fucking commerical? I love you guys but this was a shit move. Own up to it and lets move forward. Femmes forever.

[Ieatbabyseals]

Making money feels good

[marisssa1988]

Why Gordon? Why sell out like this when you're a vegetarian? Would rather get cash than sticking to your principles? As a VF fan, I'm disappointed.

But must agree with comment below, some good came out of this: other people saw the ad and got into them.

[punkbizcut]

lol @ stoner music in fast food ad.

"I'm high as a kite, I just might, stop to check you out!" Maybe he was talking about checkin' out that baked potato?

[Ieatbabyseals]

It's not about being high it's about masturbation

[oldbag699]

brocolli and cheese lol lol lol this is a five food groups meal - fat - salt cholestoreol - grease and lard

yum yum heart attack colon cancer  hamburger gaurenteed never to have any fresh vegetable matter

so come inn an enjoy the chiili burning bum hole and the square heart attack patties on a round bun ur doctor will love us

[CherryTreeCherry]

Yes the chilie was certainly made with care when the workers decided to spit in it when they ran out of seasoning. And absolutely, do what tastes right, not what is right. Wendy's, Its not fast food, Its your ticket in the ground. Try our new Cardiac Arrest cheese fish fillet, you won't forget the experience of the amazing taste. Niether will your family when they pay for your funeral costs and your unpaid mortgage and walmart bills. Do what tastes right.

[worldslayer]

yea.....

they should be saying, "hey! thanks for giving me a heart attack in a bun!"

[stanbalo]

the guy is so nerdy cute..i like!

[stufffromstuff]

I say no pasta shall rule enough manpower to create such persephony. No man has enough cheese graters to withstand such an offensive?

[nomekop628]

u know what taste right? my dick in your mouth! mmmmm! delicious!

[wackyruss]

Bassist Brian Ritchie of The Violent Femmes sued vocalist/guitarist Gordon Gano for using their song"Blister In The Sun" in this commercial.

As a VF fan myself, I'm a little ticked off at Gordon for allowing this.

But then I see posts like the one where someone got into the Femmes after seeing this commercial and I think maybe it is a way to unleash the Femmes unto the masses!

[BarrioPunkRock]

@wackyruss the femmes are punx

they dont need the tv and they dont need the masses

[weekdayyardsale]

Wendy's actually makes me stain my sheets too

[rtsoccerplayer]

i love this song!!! this commercial basicaly got me into the violent femmes!

[blueterrior]

no im hungry lol

[welovewendys]

Join the We Love Wendy's fast food campaign

[SamanthaANewman]

and yeaaaa the chili is made with old meat...

but whtev its still good.

its really not that bad.

[jackieo12345]

Anyone know the name of this song?

[goatse42]

Blister in the sun by violent femmes.

[foxx1525]

I have heard that the chili is made from old hamburgers. Yum.

[Cosmoline]

It's a good song, no matter who's buying it to sell what.

[satanicjunkie]

A song about masturbation. HAHAHAHA. Buying Wendy's for your co-workers is like masturbating? LOL

[KickassMcGrass]

Actually not. Gano stated that it was not, it was truly about a girl who said he had small hands, implying he had a small you know what also.

[youtert]

Then how does he stain his sheets exactly?

[vedder8579]

LOL

[ccaumack]

That is soo funny! In an "old drunk bonehead rockstar who really doesn't care anymore" kind of way. :) Its almost a joke seeing as how the singer is a vegetarian. ROTFL!

[abigale3]

Thanks alot for absolutely SELLING OUT. Between this commercial and your appearance on Sabrina the Teenage Witch, I am done with you. What a total let down...

[whatever3452]

Don't blame the Femmes. Apparently bassist Brian Ritchie is rather upset about this ad. I came here from an article about it on crooks&liars.

[HSM2FANS]

I think im about to barf

[gothmusicsukz]

mmmm.....yum!

[mrmojorisin1]

Oh no, they sold out

[brokenwindow]

BROCCOLI GOES FIRST! cause its frozen...

[ChurchHatesTucker]

ashappy, add "violent femmes blister sun" to the tags. I was searching for this on youtube and couldn't find it. Came across it deep in the google search.

5 stars for posting it, not sure how I feel about the actual content.

[DeeDeeRamona]
