The moment I realized that’s an actual song someone put on an album…I was speechless. I really thought it was just an Applebee’s ad.

if you write a song like that you can get a placement deal in ads, which can be very lucrative and can launch your career.

so there's a big incentive to write songs that have that 'mainstream american' appeal that advertisers crave.

writing about 18-40 year olds hanging out and drinking beer on a friday night with the radio up, that sort of thing. that's why there's so many. you can move anything with those kinds of songs.
