Why Pharrell Was Fired From McDonald's Three Times

If at first you don’t succeed: Try, try, try again.

"I was lazy,” Williams told Meyers. “At a certain point, they realised that I was no help. I was only good at eating the chicken nuggets.”

(And, apparently, creating a stylish mopping-the-floor dance, which he demonstrates for the host.)

That didn’t stop McDonald’s from hiring the singer again: Years later, Williams’s song, “I’m Lovin’ It” — originally penned for Justin Timberlake — became the burger chain’s official jingle.

The universe works in mysterious ways.
