THE LAST SANDWICH
SANDWICH NEWS
Basketball legend Allen Iverson once told his fans they could always say "my man is solidified" after he was enshrined into the NBA Hall Of Fame. When it comes to the Rap Game, MC Hotdog is "solidified" as they come.
In some ways, the two global icons have a lot in common. Iverson was the underdog, the overachiever, the misunderstood; and had the most loyal fans in the NBA. Much like Iverson, MC Hotdog is fighting his own battles, as his newest music videos are slowly scraping and clawing up the Youtube Trending charts.
With new MVs such as Sugar Mommy (阿姨), Lab Rats (白老鼠), and They Ain’t Rappers At All (他們根本不是Rapper), MC Hotdog is showing that he's still at the top of his game.
So, in order to erase any future doubts, Last Sandwich wants to present this esteemed rapper a special award. We would like to officially recognize MC HotDog (熱狗) as "Sandwich Rock Solidified". From this day forward, let there be no question who is the G.O.A.T. of Taiwanese Rap.
MC Hotdog fans around the world can now say, "my man is sandwich rock solidified."

Let's address the elephant in the room, there are too many Sandwich Rock bands that share the same name. For some reason, Rock and Roll bands love to name themselves after the most popular sandwiches, and that's a big problem.
When two bands choose the same name, Google and Bing will combine their information in search results, and will attribute songs and lyrics to the wrong bands. It's quite the condundrum. Our mission today is to reduce the confusion and try to make sense of it all.
The 1st thing we wanted to do was determine which sandwich names are chosen by bands the most. After extensive research, we took our results and created a simple table of the top 10 sandwich names used by bands.

When it comes to Rock and Roll, even the most mediocre music can be energized by youth, which is exactly what happened with the latest single by an Indonesian Band called Sandwich.
The lead singer's energy is so infectious, with a voice full of passion, that it carries you through the whole song. And after you translate and read the lyrics, that youthful idealism becomes even more powerful. Did we mention the band is pretty good too?
Two Wheels vs Four Wheels
The name of the song is "Empat Roda", which means "Four Wheels" in English. As far as we can tell, he is singing to a girl who is fawning over another suitor's fancy car and expensive house, while he is just a simple boy who rides a motorbike, living an ordinary life.
To put it in context, Indonesia has one of the highest uses of motorbikes in the world, with 112 million motorbikes on the road for a population of 273 million people, which is roughly 41% of the people on two-wheels.
On the other hand, Indonesia has only 15.9 million cars on the road, which means only 17% of their people are on four-wheels. Some web sites put Indonesia's car ownership even lower, well under the 8% range.
In layman terms... car ownership in Indonesia is considered a luxury.
And that's what makes this song so amazing! Here is a boy who is part of the 85% on two-wheels (or no-wheels), competing against a boy who is part of the 15% on four-wheels.
It's the classic Indonesian, rich vs poor, four-wheels vs two-wheels, heartbreak love song!

So, without further ado, here are two videos of the song "Empat Roda" by the Indonesian band called Sandwich. Listen to both the Live Version and their Official Video. This band has so much energy, it's infectious!

As a bonus, we've translated the lyrics to the song below. Hopefully, the song's meaning will carry through into English.
Four Wheels Lyrics (translated by Google Translate)
You I have become one
Don't ever compare me to him
He has everything
I'm just what I am
Because I'm not he has four wheels
All I have is two
I'm simple while he is
Have a luxury car and a magnificent house
I can't give you everything
And there's nothing to be proud of
Your family your friends
I better leave you
Because I'm not he has four wheels
All I have is two
I'm simple while he is
Have a luxury car and a magnificent house
Because I'm not him
Got four wheels
Because I'm not he has four wheels
All I have is two
I'm simple while he is
Have a luxury car and a magnificent house
I'm not he has four wheels
All I have is two
I'm simple while he is
Have a luxury car and a magnificent house
I'm not him
Got four wheels
Two Bonus Songs
As an added bonus, here are two more songs by the Indonesian Band called Sandwich, a beautiful tune called "Malu" and a fast cover called "SI Dolly".

The World's Most Dangerous Sandwich Rock Band is back! Known for their heavy electric bass sound, the Philippine band known as <S>andwich just released their lastest single, Negatives.
The music video is a montage of every rock musician's gangster fantasy, complete with Smith and Wessons' and Colt 45s. However, in the end, it's not the guns that kill, but something far less sinister.
While we don't really know what the video's storyline is all about, we still enjoy that the Gangster Maven is also the only female member of the band.
We won't spoil the ending, you will have to watch it for yourself.

If there was a list of the 10 most adorable campfire songs of all-time, The Hamburger Song would easily hold the top spot. With colorful words such as eenee meenee, oo-pum-pum, and bubble gum, this tune has catchy lyrics that any young mind would love.
Originally released by Bobby Moore & the Rhythm Aces in 1966, "The Hamburger Song" has become a staple around campfires over the past 50 years, especially when sung in unison with a group. It's cult-like status wasn't limited to America, it also became famous around the world, especially in Europe.
Absolutely Adorable
One example of this can be seen in an Italian TV Show from 1995, where two young girls and an entire audience sang it together, which went along with a cute dance routine. It's so adorable seeing a room full of young women singing this in unison, as you can see in the video below.

Hamburger Song - Milena e Daria (94/95)
Here they are singing the same song on a different day.
Here is another video of a teacher playing it on his guitar, while instructing his class to pretend and skip rope, as they sing the song together.

Original Song
Originally sung by Bobby Moore & the Rhythm Aces, "The Hamburger Song" was not a major hit, at least not on the record charts. The song came from their 1966 album, Searching For My Love, which also contained the title track, "Searching For My Love", with that tune reaching #7 on the R&B Chart and #27 on the Hot 100 Chart.
However, these days, few people remember "Searching For Love", a song slowly forgotten as the years go by. It was a throwaway number "The Hamburger Song" that continually grew in stature, and has now become a staple on camp grounds everywhere, generation after generation. It just shows that great music will always stand the test of time.

Few artists can eschew feelings of the night better than Sandwich Fail (打倒三明治), a Taiwanese band formed in 2019. When hearing their music for the first time, the listener can imagine themselves inside a smokey bar gazing at the house band up on stage.
