Video: The Fast Food Song
I first head the Fast Food Song—at least, the "A-Pizza Hut! A Pizza Hut!" part of it—at summer camp, where it wasn't at all unusual to belt nonsensical songs or break into dance. But I had no idea that in 2003, this version by the Fast Food Rockers reached #2 on the British pop charts. The music video is, er, colorful. Though some parts of their dance are identical to ours (of course you flap your wings when you say "Kentucky Fried Chicken!") there's a lot more to scratch your head about. What's with those shoulder pads? Do fast-food servers really wear corsets? And why on earth is there a big blue dog following them around? Decide for yourself, after the jump.

I had to stop that clip before I threw water on my computer to kill it. No wonder Jamie Oliver gets so excercised over children's diets in England. They're like PUSHERS!

It's gonna take a bullet through my eye to rid my brain of this song, isn't it?

This strangely reminds me of the badger badger badger song.

The American pop charts have been beyond putrid for over two decades now, but this may even take things to a whole new level of pathetic. #2? Are you kidding me?!!
This 'Fast Food' jingle made the song 'Cotton Eyed Joe' seem as if it were created by a genius. To be exact, the beat sounds like they ripped 'Cotton Eyed Joe' off a little bit. I really thought that British and European pop charts had a little more talent and music in them, than our corporate pile of dung, but songs like this prove that the British need an intervention, and they need it now.
I will give it this. At least it isn't the rap/crap, and ghetto hip hop influenced diva trash that's turning America's children into a bunch of little wanna-be thugs and hoochies. Now I'm starting to rethink this song, an starting to wish more ideas like this would catch on in the states. Maybe there's something good about this after all. Anything that will rid ghetto culture from the main stream, gets two thumbs up from me.

1) Why did I just watch the whole thing?
2) Like how the girls' dresses remind me of a slutted-up disney snow white.
3) How sad would it be to have this as your one 15 minutes of fame? It's almost as bad as "Lets Go To The Mall" on HIMYM.

I'd successfully repressed that memory, and now you just brought it back.
