Ding Fries Are Done Lyrics

"The Ding Fries Are Done" is just a comedic parody of the musical video in a day of the life of this poor fry guy, with a few other things thrown in for good measure, about how to make fries and wear paper hats in a Burger King. Sung to the music of the Christmas carol "Carol of the Bells," it was performed by the one—and—only enigmatic singer, "Billy." The parody drew notice both for its terrible singing and its ironic use of the holiday carol to highlight some of the more mundane and unconsidered parts of working in fast food. The song goes back to a 1993 Christmas album called "A Very Spastic Christmas." "Ding Fries Are Done" is one of the songs recorded for it. There is some proof that it was advertised on TV, but very little proof has been shown that the advertisement was actually publicly aired. The LP was one of those that was "tape only" and could be ordered through the mail from the U.S. The song finally got some sort of wider publicity when it was played on the "Dr. Demento Radio Show" during a Christmas-themed episode in 1993. Since then, it has been played over 40 times on the show. In 2002 an anonymous flash video using the song was created by the anonymous creator naming himself S. Woodman, under the alias, it was posted on the website of AmericanAngst. This helped popularize the song more. It was popularised when the animated TV show "Family Guy" made a parody for the song, and later on an avalanche of internet parodies appeared in which animated and real-life characters lip-synced to the song. "Ding Fries Are Done" is the epitome of mundane work-life cultural artifacts; it uses satirical lyrics that support the melody. Funny, yes, but the song says so much for the repetitious and unglamorous reality that many face when working in the fast food industry. Lending to the fact that it is unforgettable and relatable, this piece has become just that to so many.
