If you are into silly party songs with AWFUL hook choruses, then go try Fast Food Rockers - The Fast Food Song

Its Cheese................ but i like it not arf!

Yep - he sure is right folks!

Following Spins advice, and, I might say, tip, I have heard the song.

Someone had to do it....didn't they?!

I mean, come on.....judge for your self.

Summers thundering around us and "low and behold" - our ears are treated to this.

The kids will love it!!!

Nice one Doctor

Yes thats a horrible thought................. all those kids singing at the tops of their voices at end of term parties!!!!!

It arrived in my inbox this morning. Truly awful track. Great website though...

Fast Food Rockers

All to do with the original Cheesemeister Mike Stock of Stock, Aitken and Waterman fame who brought you Kylie, Jason, Cliff in the mix, Reynolds Girls, et-al.

watch out this song will get inside your mind and drive you crazy



its catch and really naff and whats more theres a dance to it.!!!!!!!

you have been warned

come back steps all is forgiven

I didn't hear him personally but apparently Chris's mate Moylsey slagged this one off on the radio the other day so it's bound to be a big hit!
Paul S

My missus likes it now thats my way of telling that its 100% crap cheese, so its bound to go to no 1.


"Kentucky fried chicken and a pizza hut" - wonder if there on a commision........

This song does get to you, i saw the video at the weekend and have been going around singing macdonalds macdonalds, kentucky..... you know


Am i going mad.......

the german version is even better!! video is rubbish though.

I played it in a pub last night, (poor souls) a hardened R n B crowd but it was early and I was busy doing paperwork.

Loads of comments about "Cheese or what"......... "pity its gonna be a number 1" etc etc.

As I left at 1130 I'm in the car park loading gear, what do I hear "Where we going tonite guys I'm starving.................. MacDonalds MacDonalds, Kentucky Fried Chicken and A Pizza Hut ...........!!!!

(Wait till I'm back there next week some stick or what! )

well you managed to turn an R n B crowd to like that - i have to give it to you Spin that is quite a triumph!

I don't think any of us would admit to 'liking' it, another result for Mr Stock and marketing power. I think its more of a case of it being indelibly stamped in your brain when you've heard it once!

Its just a big pile of Chedder

Spread it on your toast in the Mornings

It sucks
what are you doing supporting such awful music.
Is the spin doctor deaf?
Cheese is mouldy and the only place it belongs is in the bin.

Ouch Calfy! Steady there 'newbie' I did'nt say liked it, I said it will be a hit (wether we like it or not) and at the end of the day there are some of us full time professionals who have to work with kids! "A-g-a-d-o-o doo doo push pineapple shake the tree"

Deaf? No way ................. at my age I'm allowed to have selective hearing!

Hmm this is a "Mobile DJ" forum , and here in the UK it is this kind of music? , that makes us our living , we are not all resident Club DJ's

Sorry Calfy,but if I can fill the floor with cheesey choons I will happily play it all night;but then you knew that it would be the answer you got because basically thats what "mobiles"are all about.

Last nights wedding gig was for 250 people mainly in 20-30 age group and my did they like the cheese (there was no buffet) Even played the birdie song for the first time in ages
The dance floor was packed to every party song going (including the Fast food Song) - it was what they wanted & I was happy to play it for them. I'd rather have a full dance floor with cheese than an empty one with more sophisticated music (I can always listen to that on the way home)

So Calfy, whether you like it or not, weddings work better with cheese (could be my new slogan)

Paul S

.......... and I bet if you added up all the alternative Dj's / Disco's from this coming weekend and all the DJ's playing cheese, guess which would come out on top by miles??

'Cheese' will never be out of fashion for family functions, can't say the same about garage, house, punk, techno, and the rest and in 30 yrs time we'll still remember Agadoo etc

MacDonalds, MacDonalds, Kentucky Fried chicken and a Pizza hut..............................

I have to say cheesy tunes do work. I covered for another DJ last weekend who is into the soul movement quite big. I have got the all the usual motown classics and some soul stuff but I decided to stick to what I know and thats cheese!!! People were tapping their feet and jiggling about which is a good sign considering it's only a pub and they're not licensed for dancing. When I went to get my money the Landlady said what a good night she'd had and how busy they had been throughout the night. So although the tunes may seem cheesy to us because we play them day in and day out to the crowds they are classics!

I had the opposite, a venue that plays cheese booked me to play soul (motown is not big on the soul scene)

it was the venues busiest night since it opened

Hi folks

I've gotta say, I've had more requests for songs that are considered utter crap than stuff I'd consider music.

The fastfood song will be the one that's played most often this summer through xmas at all family gigs, if only for the fact that it's sort of an anthem for the brownies. If ya wanna know what's in, ask the kids.

Tracks that still fill the floor.

Wigfield, saturday night
Dexy's, Come on Eileen
Whamm, Wake me up before you go
steps, tragedy
Damian, time Wharp

I rest my case.

I'm getting asked for christina a - fighter quite a bit its not great but will chart very high

Thankfully, I seem to have developed a reputation for not playing the normal cheesey stuff at weddings, and often get bookings because of this. I know that a few DJ's on here disagree with this, but there are quite a few punters out there who don't wanna hear cheese all night, or maybe it's just the area I live in, who knows

Last night for example the groom wanted mostly house classics, R&B, and soul classics. At the start of the gig I played a few S Club type tunes for the kids, then had some rat-pack style tunes for the older people, moved into a few disco classics, a few 60's faves, 3 or 4 Kylie type tunes and from then moved into the house, soul & R&B and the crowd loved it. A few of the guests came up to me commending me on the music and the lack of cheese, with one guy saying that was the best disco he'd ever heard at a wedding.

Obviously every wedding is different and it's not always that I can get away with such a clubby type vibe, and although it probably seems like it, I'm not having a pop at the guys who always get through a fair amount of chedder at their gigs, cos I know that there are weddings where that is what they want, and it seems to me that in certain parts of the country it's more popular than others. However I certainly don't agree with some of the perceived philosophy on here; which says that at weddings most of the punters wanna hear cheese most of the night!

Most bookings I receive now, the clients state that they don't wanna hear cheese, and that's both the bride & the groom! When I send a contract to my clients, there's a section which includes music requests, and asks for stuff they particularly want, and also a section for stuff they don't wanna hear. In the 'don't want' section, 60% of the time they put agadoo, birdie song, ymca etc. I can happily say that I've never been asked to play agadoo or the birdie song at a wedding since the 80's

I'll just end this by saying that I know that you often need songs that get the audience in a circle/holding hands etc, but there are other songs that do that apart from the always played ones. Songs that aren't always played such as Zorba's dance, The Wild rover, The clapping song etc. These can have the desired effect of getting everyone together but cos they're not played at every wedding they'll sometimes get a better reaction cos they haven't been heard by much of the audience for years... hmmm, myabe it boils down to the fact that I like to take chances a lot more than many dj's, rather than always playing the tried and trusted (boring) I'll be honest and say that it doesn't always work but I've enough confidence in my ability to get em back on the floor anyway.

At the end of the day, we've each got our own philosophy on what approach works best, thankfully, or we'd all be clones

Well said Eskie!!!!!!! ---I could'nt agree with you more.

Must admit that I place a great deal on promoting the fact that I tailor the function to the exact requirements of my (potential) client(s). This is evident on my Website, Any Advertising, Business Cards, Request Slips etc. To this end, I try and gently push my client to forward a request list of their own. What the heck! - it makes my job a damn site easier .

Often this can be a list of 10 "favourites" together of course with the Bride & Grooms first dance where applicable. Sometimes it can turn into a blow by blow account of the exact playlist track by track, although I do subtly point out that it can be advisable, for the enjoyment of their guests and smoothness of the evening to allow requests and some discretion and choice from the D.J. They are after all booking me partly for my experience and unlike them, I have attended over 2000 weddings. There is a right way and a wrong way of going about this, and it is not my place to argue with them - they pay the bills after all

What do u guys think of the new UK number 1??

Evanescence, another AMerican Rock band.

Personally i cant stand it. i dont like any of this nu-metal C*ap, but is the Number 1 selling chart in UK...

Songs that fill dance floors....hmm well we've been through enough cheese to make switzerland a rich country!

So songs(not cheese) that fills floors.

hmmm er....struggling...

michael jackson-billie jean

lol

Kylie Mingoue cant get u out of my head....

er....any others?

HELP!

Well you heard it here first!!!! On 12th May I said watch out for Fast Food Rockers as this years sumer cheese! #

Well straight in at number 2 this week..............Yep you guessed!!!!

Not Arf Nose Pickers.
Slam Dunk da funk in at no#2 - she's got a bucket of hot fast food rockers, and I'm not talkin' 'bout those kn ers!

And the only justice in this world is that its not...



AT # 1

Till next week!!!!!

and i've still not played it

I am playing clubs 90% of the time and i am willing to play just about anything to give a crowd a good time.If you play a wedding then you have just one chance to make someones once in a lifetime party (hopefully) perfect,its difficult, if like eskie you can experiment and make it work then brilliant but if you need to play cheese and thats what they want then play it,they are paying for it !

I am similar to Eskie in that 80% of my bookings come from people who don't want cheese, and i play other party tunes.

however if required i can cheese like the next man. (or girl)

I must say this is a new song that i have not heard. I wish i would have stayed that way but if its what the kiddies like. I remember singing that song back in my grade school days. songs that i have found fill the floor are. . .

Salt N Peppa - push it

chingy - right thurr

joe budden - pump it up

and anything by 50 cent is huge

thats whats keeping the midwest moving. A little different than where most of you are from but we all gotta start somewhere

not that different the only 1 i have not been playing is
chingy - right thurr all the others i play a lot a school proms.

Here is a couple of trax I recommend for anyone running a disco.

1) JT Playaz - Lets Get Down (Funky house with sample from said original and a cool rap, floor filla)

2) Lois - I Just Wanna Make Love 2 U (Cheesey piano house with a song thats every blokes fantasy)

If your into rap, here are the new stars (and new hits)

Pharrel
Lil John
Bone Crusher
Ying Yang Twins
David Banner
Gang Starr
State Property
50 Cent

i'll add more...can't think of any more for now

Gang Starr... new
C'mon mate, they've been around since the late 80's!
DJ Premier from Gang Starr has produced for people such as Nas, Jay-Z, Biggie and others while Guru (also from Gang Starr) has done loads of other projects, such as the Jazzmattazz albums. They're one of Rap's most influential groups.

Pharrel has a wicked voice and is the flava with the ladies at the moment.

Make sure y'all buy the David banner tunes cos otherwise he may get angry and you don't wanna see him angry!

PS. Almost forgot,

This is truly awful. It is based on Kool & The Gangs-Celebrate and is about the same standard as the travesty that was DJ Miker & Sven-Holiday rap in the 80's, although the rap is even worse if that's possible!!!
Not meaning to diss you Euphonics, and obviously everyone's taste is different, but I'd be extremely surprised if you found even one person that is into Hip-Hop who thought that this was a 'cool rap'!?

I love it, but im more of a disco person. Hip Hop certainly aint it for me (Tim Westwood has got a lot to answer for with his 'flava'. got to be the worst show out there)

QUOTE

Agree completely. OK, fair enough the guy knows his music, but he tries so hard to be 'street', but he's just a middle-class public school boy that sounds like a plonker.
He should try to be more like David Rodigan. This is a white guy who seriously knows his reggae, but doesn't try to act/speak like a Jamaican black guy all the time. He's long been accepted and respected in the reggae world, yet Westwood, puts on that stupid accent and is not respected by many people into rap.

I cant stand tim westwood! whatever happened to his own voice?

I have been receiving a lot of request over the last two weeks for Casper and the Cha Cha slide. Many people have been hearing it abroad on their holidays and coming back and requesting it at the club I work. Has anyone else found this popular at the moment.

have been playing the cha cha slide for donkeys years now... the live platinum band version (track 4) being the best.... gotta say you have GOT to get out there and show them how to do the dance though...... and now its time to get funky...! Willing to give lessons for a very high price!!

Agreed its been around for donkey's.........Hmmm I'd like to see Kazz do her stuff though!

Sin

Now you know why I can him the SIN Doctor!!!

Sadly Crooksey, I wouldn't get away with playing any of that at your average Wedding or Function, over here, apart from maybe 50 Cent.
