"Fancy Like" by Diamond Dixie


 Diamond Dixie are two sisters from Orlando, Florida who perform country cover songs via their YouTube channel.

I'm not sure that the city of Orlando truly conjures up images of Dixieland, but maybe the band name "Confederate Epcot" was already taken.

Anyway, here they are playing a truncated version of 2021 pop country crossover hit "Fancy Like," originally by Mobile, Alabama jamma Walker Hayes.

The Hayes original may set a record for highest density of product placement in a song.  Let's see.... Wendy's, Applebee's, Oreo, Natty, Tesla, Vespa, Skoal, Victoria's Secret, and Maybelline.  Nine name dropped companies within 2:44, or one every 18.2 seconds.

The chart-topping hit was used in Applebee's advertisements, but, contract or no, Hayes will not bow to any sponsor.
