, Popeyes is throwing musicians a modest lifeline as part-time jingle artists. The company is asking people to record the chain’s “Love That Chicken” tune for a chance to get paid to have their version used in future advertisements.The Times-Picayune
featuring the “Love That Chicken” sheet music. “Can’t play music in the streets?” the ad asked. “We’re hiring local NOLA musicians to play this jingle in our ads. Apply by posting your video demo using #LoveThatJingle.”“After the reaction in their hometown, the brand decided this movement should reach far beyond NOLA to support musiciansacross the country,” a company spokesperson stated. So starting today, anyone in the U.S. is welcome to “apply” via social media.
Popeyes says it will be digging through these online demos from May 1 to May 18 with selected musicians being alerted by May 25. However, Popeyes would not disclose to us how much the one-time fee will be for the selected musicians, nor the total number of jingles the brand will use in future ads. And like any show-business professional, it’s important you read the fine print: Even though some musicians will be compensated for their work, Popeyes also explains that, by submitting your rendition of “Love That Chicken,” you grant the company the right to use your work whether they compensate your or not. See, I told you being a musician was tough!
