“Do you want fries with that shake?”

George Clinton’s song and music video, “Do Fries Go with That Shake?” (1986), added a pun to the familiar phrase, “Do you want fries with that?” The “shake” is not a “milkshake,” but refers to the shaking of a woman’s bottom.
 
“Hey, can I have some fries with that shake?” is cited in the Chicago (IL) Tribune from 1983 and pre-dates the music video, but George Clinton popularized the “shake” addition to the phrase.
   
   
Wikipedia: “Do Fries Go with That Shake?
“Do Fries Go with That Shake?” is a song by Parliament-Funkadelic leader George Clinton. The song was released in 1986 by Capitol Records and was originally featured on the album R&B Skeletons in the Closet.
 
The song was the second highest charting single of George Clinton’s solo career after “Atomic Dog,” peaking at number 13 on the Billboard Hot Black Singles chart.
