Lovely commercial jingle

KFC's commercial song. A popular jingle.

When you think of Kentucky, you think of the fast-food chain marked by a logo featuring Colonel Sanders’ face.

In addition to its distinctly seasoned fried chicken, the menu is packed with delicious items like hamburgers, biscuits, and coleslaw.

We often see Kentucky’s commercials on TV, and they pop up even more frequently during the Christmas season.

That naturally makes you curious about the music used in those commercials.

Some of you might even be reminded of Kentucky the moment you hear that Christmas song.

In this article, we’ll introduce a roundup of Kentucky’s commercial songs—starting with that classic tune, as well as tracks used in past ads and songs featured in overseas commercials.
