This has to be my favorite sign, from Chick Filet. That cow with curlers is hilarious.As a teenager I grew up with the song and the words here from the 5 Man Electrical Band.
And the sign said long haired freaky people need not apply, So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why, He said you look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do, So I took off my hat I said imagine that, huh, me working for you. Sign Sign everywhere a sign, Blocking out the scenery breaking my mind.Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign. And the sign said anybody caught trespassing would be shot on sight So I jumped on the fence and yelled at the house, Hey! what gives you the right To put up a fence to keep me out or to keep mother nature in. If God was here, he'd tell you to your face, man you're some kinda sinner. Now, hey you Mister! can't you read, you got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat. You can't even watch, no you can't eat, you ain't suppose to be here. Sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside. And the sign said everybody welcome, come in, kneel down and pray. But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all, I didn't have a penny to pay, so I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own little sign. I said thank you Lord for thinking about me, I'm alive and doing fine. © 1970, 2002 Five Man Electrical Band

Chick-fil-A does have a great advertising campaign with those cows. Here in Atlanta we have some great billboards!
There is No Bull in that advertising, but you were a little off key (or is that out of focus here?) with the song, 995 for creativity and 101% for nailing the theme, wow a double Nadia Comenici
We don't have Chick Filet's here, so this is new to me.....love it! Great creativity,as always, Terri!!
That's a great photo for the theme. (I remember that song very well.)
We don't have ChickFilets here either, but I love the curlers!
Cute cow!
A bit of trivia, the Five Man Electrical Band started here in Ottawa as The Stacattos. The song's writer apparently wrote the song as the band drove Route 66 to Los Angeles. Love that song!
