SNL Holiday Musical Interlude

Sad but true. Fries for Christmas, and DMC, so it's cool.

Midge Ure's Breakfast in America

Friend and French Fry Diary contributor Robin Renee brought this one to my attention.

Midge Ure, formerly lead singer of new wave eighties band Ultravox (among others) posted this pic to his Twitter, saying, "Breakfast in America. Serious health kick when I get home....!"

Thanks, Robin!

And just because, here's "Sister and Brother" by Midge Ure, featuring the amazing Kate Bush. Enjoy.

French Fry Diary 506: DEVO

The band DEVO has had a long history with potatoes, spuds and French fries.

Members of the band, as well as fans of the band, have been referred to as spudboys, and one would assume, spudgirls. It's even got a documentation on Urban Dictionary, ahem, first definition, not second.

And their album cover for the 1982 release, Oh, No! It's DEVO, even features the band members as potatoes.

Furthermore, "That's Good," one of the singles from the album, and a video release, ran into some trouble with MTV censors. Apparently a French fry penetrating a donut, followed by a happy woman, was just too much for them. Here's the video, you judge.



Plug time - for more DEVO, check out today's entry on my pop culture blog, Welcome to Hell, and today's stop on the Robin Renee Blog Tour - The GAR! Podcast, where we interview Robin in this week's episode.

French Fry Skulls

"We Can't Stop" by Miley Cyrus



We've talked about this a few times already on The GAR! Podcast. I have nothing against Miley Cyrus, or even Hannah Montana for that matter, I'm just not fond of this song is all.

Anyway, in the first minute, the video features a skull made from, yeah, you guessed it, French fries. Enjoy.

The Hands Free Whopper

I guess this is another one for the genius multi-tasker, or the insanely lazy.

Here's a way to eat your Burger King Whopper and have both hands free.

On the plus side, you can eat your fries with both hands now…

Bud the Spud

"Bud the Spud" by Stompin' Tom Connors

My friend Robin Renee hipped me to this over at our Facebook page. Thanks, Robin!

Daddy, Why Did You Eat My Fries?

A fan made video set to the notorious song from "Adventure Time" that may make sense of that post from a few weeks back. Weeeeirrrrdd, but still, mmmmm... fries...

"Potato Chips" by Slim Gaillard

Hot Potato

My buddy Ray hipped me to this one. Blame him.

This is "Hot Potato" by Freestyle Fellowship.



Perhaps not work or family safe.

If French Fries Were Fat Free

The song is "If French Fries Were Fat Free" by Alan Jackson, from his album What I Do. Enjoy.

Joe Robinson’s Bergeson Fries

Not the kind of fries you think. Joe Robinson is a major recording artist down under and won "Australia’s Got Talent." This is a tune he wrote about fellow guitar player from Nashville, Pat Bergeson, and sadly not the favorite fried food. It’s still cool though.

Robert Plant’s Freedom Fries

I’m really not sure what it has to do with the whole Freedom Fries thing (or even the favorite fried food at all) from a few years back, but it sure does rock...

Burgers and Fries

"Burgers and Fries," classic country from Charley Pride.

Biggie Fries

What exactly is it about “Apologize” by One Republic and Timbaland that makes folks think of French fries?

Do You Want Fries with That?

"Do You Want Fries with That?" by Tim McGraw, a humorous musical interlude as a send off as I leave for vacation on the Disney Cruise. I’ll be back in a week with more French fry adventures - from the cruise ship the Disney Magic.

See you then, and until then, don’t forget the fries. Mmmm... fries...

I Got Fries on It

“I Got Fries on It” by Big Cheese, a song parody of “I Got Five on It” by Luniz. Niiice.

Addicted to Spuds

Not sure if this is the 'official' video for “Addicted to Spuds” by "Weird Al" Yankovic, and I kinda doubt it is, but it sure is by someone who’s addicted to spuds.

Do Fries Go with That Shake?

Here’s the undisputed king of funk, George Clinton, with a blast from the past – “Do Fries Go with That Shake?” from 1986...



Mmmm... fries...
