Everyone remembers where they were when Jessica Simpson confused chicken with tuna on MTV’s “Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica.”

Well, seems like Simpson is still confusing the two in a new ad for Chicken of the Sea. The multihyphenate partnered with the brand to record a brand new version of its 1960s jingle.

“Ask any mermaid you happen to see, what’s the best chicken?” Simpson says in the video, before realizing she has the lyrics wrong.

“Wait, that’s not right. I’m too hungry for this. Can we take a break?”

Once returning from her break the “A Public Affair” singer sings the jingle once more, this time with the correct lyrics, “What’s the best tuna? Chicken of the Sea.”

Over 20 years ago, Simpson famously asked her then-husband Nick Lachey, “Is this chicken that I have, or is this fish?” during the premiere of their MTV reality show “Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica” back in 2003.

“Newlyweds” went on for three season and Simpson and Lachey split up soon after the show ended in 2005, officially divorcing in 2006.

Simpson is always up for poking fun at herself from her now viral moment. Back in 2016 she posted an Instagram of a meme that shows a chicken floating in an ocean with text saying, “Maybe Jessica Simpson was on to something?” The fashion designer captioned the post “#Chickenofthesea.”
