BriefExplanation

The tracks on this audio execution bring the Wendy's social voice to life and provide a venue for Wendy's to take recent Twitter interactions and rap battles to the hip-hop space. Wendy's felt hip-hop was the best genre to express their voice - it's only natural for fresh beef to translate seamlessly into the world of rap beef. By turning the @Wendys Twitter handle into a recording artist, Wendy's was newly relevant to our customers and followers through infectious beats and witty lyrical ties to many of the brand's core equities.

EntrySummary

Wendy’s Twitter is known for its sassy tone, taking jabs at competitors within the restaurant industry, and many of our Twitter interactions appear in the songs. Wendy’s key brand equities such as the Baconator and even recent campaign success stories like #nuggsforcarter also appear in the song lyrics. Going a step further, we included rap pop culture references such as Jay-Z’s “4:44” album, which happens to be the name of a Wendy’s value meal, and Drake’s “Trigger Fingers,” which we riffed on with “Twitter Fingers.”

REST IN GREASE

at Wendys

[INTRO]

You gon’ get that work

[VERSE]

Red head with some pig tails

Better check the score, these meals sell

Now that’s better, I’m so clever

My bars chilly better grab a sweater

You blocked my tweets can’t squash the beef

Now check my feed and yo’ eyes swellin’

How you love that? These straight facts

Tryna take the swag but we don’t want it back

I’ma boss chick so they hate that

Boy, we tried your food, where the flavor at?

You number 1? That’s a joke

Why yo’ ice cream machine always broke?

Why yo’ drive through always slow?

Why yo’ innovation just can’t grow?

It’s queen Wendy, need I say mo’?

That Baconator go crazy, that spicy chicken go crazy

You can take a fry and dip it in the sauce, it still be so tasty

Them lil tweets don’t phase me, McDonalds be so lazy

I know the reason you hatin’ me ‘cause I’m fast food’s First Lady

It’s queen Wendy up in this thang

You can’t beat us serving them thangs

Y’all too chicken for this beef

I’ma leave you resting in grease

Nuggs for Carter, retweet

Boy, you know you can’t compete

On top of our game, man watch us

See its no stoppin’ me (flex)

[OUTRO]

Uh, red head with my pig tails, ah

Fast food’s first lady, ah

You cannot play me
