Fast Food Rockers
Fast Food Song
The infuriatingly catchy Fast Food song has been hitting the airwaves over the summer weeks, and Capital Radio�s DJ Steve Penk has been championing the song on his evening show. Penky revealed that the song has already recorded pre sales of around 100,000 copies that suggests that it is heading to be this summers mega hit. The child like chorus "McDonalds, McDonalds Kentucky Fried Chicken and Pizza Hut" will inevitably be one that kids and parents wont be able to get out of their heads.
The Fast Food Rockers consist of Lucy (21 yeas old), Ria (20 years old) and Martin (20 years old) and they are currently all touring around the country to spread the word on their new release which is set to imprint their names and their music into the heads of the UK population within the next few weeks.
The exact origin of the song is unknown. However for decades children have been singing the refrain around the world, regardless of the country�s language, in playgrounds and around campfires. But now there is more meat on the bone and relish has been added by the infamous Mike Stock who has re-worked and produced the song for the first release on his new label Better the Devil records.
In the same way that the words Barbie, Ferrari, Pokemon, Mickey Mouse, and David Beckham are recognised the world over as an international language, fast food brands are also part of the common language.
Whilst brands are in the chorus of the Fast Food Song, the Fast Food Rockers are also keen to promote healthy eating and, when touring, will be raising the issue of healthy alternatives to fast food. Their website www.fastfoodrockers.co.uk will also feature a section on healthy eating including recipes for creating fast and healthy food.
Fast Food Rockers are not promoting fast food, they are promoting a catchy poppy song, with an infectious and easy to learn dance. As far as nutrition is concerned they will be ensuring that their audiences are left in no doubt as to the importance of healthy eating. The group also hope that their appearances will serve as a catalyst and encourage people to discuss diet.
The Song will unquestionably get grilled fiercer than a Big Mac by music critics and anti-junk food campaigners alike. But if it goes to No1, Lucy, Ria and Martin could well be scoffing "Eat Your Heart Out!"
