Haha!! I used to love them when I was 9/10!! Both the Fast Food Song and Say Cheese!!

I know they were a novelty group and so many people hated them. I was a child though, quite a lot of children loved the Fast Food Song! Are they any of you who found them to be one of your guilty pleasures?

Haha The fact that acts/songs like them became acceptable back then but if they came out now in the world of social networking....well....

If it was out today, it would of had a Rebecca Black reaction. I bet it was kids who liked them tbh. The charts were more family friendly those days, since there was only CDs. The Tweenies had a Top 5 hit and Bob The Builder got the Xmas No.1 in 2000!!

It was a Mike Stock (out of Aitken/Waterman) project, taking an old playground song that had been around at least 20 years previous and cashing in on it. If anything it's astonishing they managed another couple of hits as surely they were intended for just that one song.

If I had been about five years younger I'd have probably adored it, but I was too busy being 14, growing my long hair out and listening to Seven Nation Army and Bring Me To Life at the time. Oh, erm, and Move Your Feet by Junior Senior which I still enjoy.

I wonder if they all ate at Stan Webb's Chicken Shack?

Not sure they were ever really acceptable, however I don't really understand why novelty songs wouldn't chart these days.

Maybe that's partly the problem with the charts today, lack of a sense of humour!

Fast Food Rockers were summer 2003, would have fitted absolutely perfectly into 1999 though - you still got the occasional 90s-sounding song chart big at the time, with probably DJ Casper's 'Cha Cha Slide' in 2004 possibly the last gasp of that decade at the top.

Let's eat, to the beat!

I remember when they came to my Primary School, doubt they would allow something like that these days with all the political correctness and healthy eating stuff.

This wouldn't happen anymore. There was a time when up-and-coming commercial groups did the tours of schools, but the equivalent kind of groups these days start on X Factor and bypass the grafting.

This is something I've never considered before. I've also never understood how schools justified Triple 8 coming to their school as educational and worthy of time!

Ahh I had their album! And you know what, the other songs on the album (none were about food of any sort) we up there with Steps / Scooch. I remember one particular song called 9 Times Out Of 10 was a pop masterpiece. If you ever get the chance to hear it you will love it if you liked Steps.
