“I Make Hamburgers” by The Whitlams appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 1996. It was first released in 1995 on the album Undeniably. Its best result is #79 on the Triple J Hottest 100 of 1996. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #288 alternative song of 1996.
"I Make Hamburgers" first went to radio in February 1995 as the Whitlams' debut single, then came out on CD that November as the lead single from their second album, Undeniably, on Phantom Records. It's a character sketch of a burger-flipping ladies' man who just wants to give the girls the world, and the Guardian reckoned it's the closest the band have come to a novelty song, while allowing that there's real heart under the fun.
On stage it grew into a crowd call-and-response the paper put among the great ones in Australian music, and it landed on the Hottest 100 compilation CD for 1996.
