A Ram Sam Sam 1971

Traditional
O: Rolf Harris 1971 on Columbia.


Read "The Originals" about this song














"A Ram Sam Sam" is a popular children's song and game which originated in Morocco. But others say North Africa. So it can be Egypt also.
In a lot of countries it is also a children song with native language. For instance Germany and and Brazil.
Thanks to a Dutch entertainer everone connects this song now to Pizza's an Fastfood.

I have searched for recordings of the song and i found the oldest recording by Rolf Harris in 1971.
Maybe there are older recordings. If you know, tell me.
This recording has nothing to do with food. Listen to the lyrics in the song by Rolf Harris. There is something to learn.

In 1981 the Tom Tom´s Club used a sample in Wordy Rappinghood.
But in 2001 Dutch Entertainer Erik Dikeb made the song `Pizzahahaha`, based upon the song `A Ram Sam Sam` It was was sung in Dutch. The song was bubbling under and not in the Dutch charts. In 2002 Dikeb recorded it again with "de Deurzakkers" for an "Apres Ski" album. This recording charted at # 51 in Holland.
From this moment the song was mostly connected with fastfood and most people are forgotten that it was a children song. 2003 DJ Ötzi charted in Germany, Austria and Switzerland with the song named "Burger Dance".
The same year reached the "Fast Food Rockers" # 2 in the UK charts with the "Fast Food Song".
