Ding Fries Are Done began as a novelty parody song set to Carol of the Bells, sung from the perspective of a Burger King worker waiting on a batch of fries. It spread online as an early viral video and ringtone in the mid 2000s, shared on forums and video sites for its catchy repeating ding and deadpan fast food lyrics. The clip stayed in meme rotation as a ready made sound for finished timers and cooking moments, long after many early viral songs faded.
