The song is forgettable, but the video's charming:
It's called "Mange du Kebab."
From the Associated Press:
[Turkish immigrant] Yilmaz Karaman _ aka Lil'Maaz _ moved to France in 2003 and got a job at an eatery. A cheerful chap, he composed a song about his work ("Eat kebab, eat kebab my friend!") to regale his regulars. Fortuitously for him, they included employees from a nearby recording studio, who invited Lil'Maaz to record his song.The video reminds me of that Flash animation chestnut from 1999, "Combo #5":
A friend shot video of Lil'Maaz dancing and rapping in the restaurant, meat roasting on the spit in the background. Posted on a sharing site, Daily Motion, the video has drawn more than 435,000 views over the past month. That buzz interested EMI, which released the single in stores on Monday.
