This next one is a little annoying... be aware!
MY FAVORITE

All of these videos songs give me the impression that hamburgers are really a part of so many people's lives as an Icon of America. From little kids to teens and adults are able to interact with hamburgers in songs watching Veggie Tales or coming across random hamburger songs on Youtube.
This is a very unique post Cyndy! Some of the songs were hilarious, and I think you're absolutely right that they show hamburgers are an icon. I never really realized how many songs there were about hamburgers, and although I think it's a little strange that people would choose to write and sing about this, it makes sense. So many people eat hamburgers and fast food every day. Or, it's a nice treat at family barbecues. When people hear the U.S., they often think of obesity and fast food. Although this is not the ideal association for an amazing country, it helps us realize that they are an integral part of the culture for now. An interesting choice :) Good job!
ReplyDeleteThat song definitely was annoying, but I found it interesting that the one you noted as your favourite actually sounded like I thought a hamburger would sound if it were to talk (not that I've put too much thought into it). Like Rachel said above, I realized that although largely the American icon is based on fast food patty-style burgers full of preservatives and God knows what, but there is the other type of burger that you load up with natural beef and goodies and has a more wholesome image. It would be interesting to further explore that idea on your blog.
