Story Behind The Song
Hamburger Man is a bouncy, 3-and-a-half minute satirical romp through the darker side of the Fast Food mentality. Replete with zany, cartoonlike sound effects and delivered in a vocal style best described as cheerfully contained outrage, Hamburger Man promises us a Brighter Day, where everyone is happy, well-fed, and above average. Presented here is the quintessential New World Order posing as a burger joint, where political correctness is king, where there are no dirty or unusual people to be offended by, and where only happy thoughts are thought.
Hamburger Man. Safe. Fun. Correct.
Song Description
Spike Jones meets The Police, soon to be a major motion picture near you. Hamburger Man tries to be a ska song. It doesn't have a talking dog, but it's heartwarming nonetheless.

Lyrics
Hamburger Man
he?s the hamburger man
he?s gonna stuff ya pumped plump happy yummy
whatever feed you need
choke it down for your daddy and mummy
at the hamburger man
the hamburger man
fastest food in the land
he?s the hamburger man
drag your 2.7 kids in
sit ?em down tank ?em up see ya later
crank your wanker to win
a spankin? Yankee brand new ?frigriator
at the hamburger man
the hamburger man
pleasure from a spray can
get ?em Deputy Dan
he got chicken he got fries
christ there?s everything from soup to nuts
from small to SuperSize
he whistles sweepin up your cigarette butts
he doesn?t mind
so everybody come on in
come on in and consume yourself a giant shake
he?ll call it even-steven
he don?t even care how many straws you take
he?s mister hamburger man
funnest food in the land
well we went to the show
for a smoke and a joke and a thriller
then we was ready to go
say hello to Mister McFiller
so make a wish? before you know, he?ll come to your home town
he?s programmed like a circus, there?ll be LOTS of smiles around
his dizzy disney politics will take YOU by the hand!
next, you?re on board the Gravy Train where ALL WRONG THOUGHT IS BANNED
at the hamburger man
fastest food in the land
so pleasantly planned
he?s the hamburger man
the hamburger man
he?ll lend a friendly hand
get ?em Deputy Dan
inch of grease in the pan
culture from a spray can
dirty people all banned
where your pleasure is planned
where the smiles are canned
at the hamburger man
