"I Make Hamburgers" is a song by The Whitlams. It was first released to radio in February 1995[2] as the band's debut single. It was released on CD single in November 1995 as the first single from their second album, Undeniably.

Reception

The Guardian said the song was, "the closest to a novelty song the Whitlams have. Hollering 'more sauce!' during live performances ranks up there with 'no way, get fucked, fuck off' in the pantheon of Australian music call and responses. But underneath the fun, it still has heart: a burger-flipping lothario who just likes giving girls the world."[3]
