Who Let In The RainCyndi Lauper
This is a hidden gem from Cyndi Lauper, who has so many hit songs.
While she’s known for her energetic, free-spirited shouts, this track has a mature feel, singing about a love that has quietly come to an end.
It’s a breakup song, but it’s perfect for couples spending Christmas Eve together over Kentucky Fried Chicken.
A new version of this song is included on Shine, an album released only in Japan in 2004.
That version is also wonderful, so I hope you’ll give it a listen!
Original
Mitsuki Takahata, who gave wonderful performances in Totone-chan and Sakura, Our Precious Days, is everywhere these days—on TV and in magazines, whether singing or appearing on variety shows.
In her new ad, the Kentucky Hot Pie she eats in the snow looks unbelievably delicious! The background “fof-fof-fof” horn melody doubles the pie’s piping-hot appeal.
The tune, which evokes bright jazz, fits perfectly with Kentucky’s long history.
It’s a short commercial, but why not lend an ear to the music while you watch?

A collaboration by British rapper-singer Chip, rapper-actor Kano, and rapper Wretch 32.

The track used in KFC’s 2016 commercial, “£15 Double Bucket Deal.” It was released by Hunter Hunted, an indie pop rock band based in Los Angeles, and is included on their 2015 album “Ready for You.”
Boom BoomJohn Lee Hooker
The track used in KFC New Zealand’s “Summer’s Better When It’s Finger Lickin’ Good” commercial.
It was released in 1962 by American blues singer and guitarist John Lee Hooker, and has been covered by artists such as The Animals and Rufus Thomas.
Original song
This commercial highlights how you can enjoy a great-value set of Original Chicken and Furi-Furi Fries, conveyed through Rosa Kato’s expressions and presence.
By clearly showing her eating, you can really feel the portion size, which in turn communicates just how good a deal this set is.
The video captures that irresistible urge to keep eating, and the original song makes that feeling stand out even more.
With straightforward lyrics that express both the munching onomatopoeia “mushamusha” and the happiness that follows, sung over a light, buoyant sound, it paints a picture of everyday joy.
