With fans doing the viral Fancy Like dance at Applebee’s
restaurants across the country, today the brand will also debut two
different commercials featuring Walker Hayes’ song along with
videos of guests showing off their moves – Walker and his daughter
who helped choreograph the dance are featured too!
“For years, my wife Laney and I have been regulars at Applebee’s
for date night, and I’ve always wanted to write a song about it,”
said country singer Walker Hayes. “The response to ‘Fancy Like,’
the dance and the fan love has been a dream come true – plus,
Applebee’s even brought back their Oreo Cookie Shake! What’s better
than that?”
“We’d like to congratulate Walker on the song of the summer. As
soon as we heard ‘Fancy Like’ and saw the dance videos at our
restaurants, we knew we had to showcase this viral sensation,” said
Joel Yashinsky, chief marketing officer at Applebee’s. “With our
new ad debuting today and the return of the Oreo Cookie Shake, we
can’t wait for guests to head into Applebee’s for their own ‘Fancy
Like’ date nights. Just don’t ask me to do the dance – I’ll leave
that to our guests!”
