Turtles Sue Applebee's
LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- It turns out restaurateur Applebee's International Inc. and the 1960s pop group the Turtles aren't so happy together after all.
Two of the group's members, Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan (Remember "Flo & Eddie?"), have sued the chain and its advertising agency, FCB Worldwide Inc., over an ad which modified lyrics to their 1967 hit "Happy Together."
In the ad, the words "Imagine me and you, I do/I think about you day and night, it's only right" become "Imagine steak and shrimp, or shrimp and steak/Imagine both of these on just one plate."
No word on whether the Newbeats and their 1964 hit "Bread and Butter" are getting counsel for the ads promoting Skillet Sensations.
