"Rubber Biscuit" is a doo-wop song by The Chips, recorded in 1956. It was famously covered by The Blues Brothers, among many other artists[1] as well as featuring in the 1973 film Mean Streets. The song was composed by lead singer of The Chips Charles Johnson and Adam R. Levy.
Few of the lyrics can actually be understood, as they are sung in the scat manner. Those that can be understood tell the story of the singer eating various kinds of non-existent food, including a "wish sandwich" (where "you wish you had some meat") and a ricochet biscuit (that is supposed to bounce off the wall and into your mouth) and suffixing each story with "bow bow bow."
"Rubber Biscuit" became the theme tune to Jimmy's Food Factory, a programme about supermarket's food tricks on BBC One. It is The Chips version that is played at the beginning and end of each show.
