"Jumbo Breakfast Roll" is a 2006 single by Irish comedian Pat Shortt, under the guise of Showband singer 'Dicksie Walsh'. The subject of the song is the ubiquitous (in Ireland) breakfast roll.
The song was a number one hit in the Republic of Ireland for six weeks.[citation needed] It was the best selling song of 2006 in Ireland,[1] outselling Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie" by 500 copies.
According to figures compiled by GfK Chart-Track Jumbo Breakfast Roll came in at number 11 on the list of top selling songs of the decade. Pat Howe, music manager for HMV Ireland described it as a "guilty pleasure" and noted the Irish have a thing for novelty songs.[2]
