LOVE SFKK Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I thought from all the talk about it in the robbs new video, it deserves its own topic! I dont personally like it but thats just my opinion. Heres the story about the song and the band. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_Food_Rockers The Fast Food Rockers were a British pop group, known for their novelty music. The band met, ironically, at a Fast Food convention in Folkestone [1]. Their most successful hit was The Fast Food Song, which was written by Mike Stock and Sandy Rass. The chorus dates back to a campfire song from 1985 and was the first release of independent record label, Better The Devil Records. The song was criticised by many cultural analysts who were appalled by the content of the song, lamenting the "collapse of culture into product placement". [2] However, the song managed to reach #2 in the UK charts in June 2003, beaten to the top spot by Evanescence's Bring Me to Life. The band had its own mascot, a giant blue dog called "Hotdog" who followed the band around, and appeared in all three music videos. Their second single, Say Cheese (Smile Please) reached #10 and showed the first signs that people were beginning to think the band's novelty was wearing off. In 2003, there were rumours that the band didn't sing on their own records. However, in an interview with CBBC Newsround, Lucy stated she "trained for three years at a performing arts school, Ria's been in the business for a long time, Martin's been in the business for a long time and we're very proud to say we do sing on [this] song". After their attempt at a Christmas single only reached #25, and an album that failed to make the top 200, their management company decided to drop the band in March 2004. After the split, the band members found jobs outside of the music industry. [3] and in 2006, former band member Martin Rycroft was poached from his bar tending job, to take part in the E4/Channel4 show, Boys Will Be Girls [4], where three former male popstars tried to convincingly create a new girl band by former Brother Beyond star, Nathan Moore. Martin has since returned to his bar-tending job. FFr'ers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shesaidboom Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I remember singing that song at Brownie camp. I can't believe it was made into a real song. It's pretty horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkTrips Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I was talking to Elissa about the new DVD a while back. We were talking about who did what (since she actually did more than 4 segments this time ) I said something to the effect of "Robb did Alton Towers didn't he?". She said yes and asked how I knew. "Because the song is obnoxious!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
