Reception

edit

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]
