F: Fast Food Song

 

#AtoZChallenge 2025 letter F



This is a new one to me. Finding a novelty song for this letter was a little hard, so I looked at this list on Wikipedia and decided to look up this song. It's by a British group called Fast Food Rockers. It was primarily a hit in the UK, which explains why I never knew about it until now. I decided to give the song a listen and thought it was good.

The song was based on a children's playground song and its chorus is based on a Moroccan tune "A Ram Sam Sam."  KFC, McDonald's and Pizza Hut are all name-dropped in the song. The playground song mentions other fast-food chains not mentioned in the "Fast Food Song."

That was fun and a new one to me. I think I will be singing A Ram Sam Sam all day now. And I'm okay with that.

Ha! That's a good one.
I got your email about my blog not letting you post. It does that sometimes to people and I have no idea why. Thanks for letting me know.

You gotta do what you gotta do to cover all the letters. It's funny which letters end up being a problem. Sometimes it's the ones you least expect.

It's interesting to see all these new (to me) groups covering playground/camp songs from when I was a kid. I remember when Baby Shark became a "real" song 6 or 8 years ago wondering if we were going to get a cover of Announcements or The Buffalo Dance.

Fun but indigestion inducing.

The Brits have a lot of fun novelty songs like Jilted John.
