I don't have a copy of the film at hand, but I believe it's the Fat
Boy's very first movie, "Krush Groove", from 1985:
"Though most of the movie features live concert performances, the one
music video style segment has the Boys going to an all-you-can-eat
buffet at Sbarro and cleaning the place out. The song they perform,
"All You Can Eat," is their best food song ever, and is probably the
Fat Boys all around finest moment. Kurtis Blow produced it, but there
must have been a little more money to throw around at studios, because
while this contains all the elements of his other productions (the
chanting chorus, the simple keyboard lines, the solid beats) overall
there?s a somewhat bigger sound. The song is just a relentless menu of
foods they plan to demolish at the buffet (perhaps that?s what "Buff"
is short for). The break in the middle has Markie asking Buff to list
the foods he wants to eat, to which the Human Beat Box responds with
his arsenal of sound effects. In the clip they keep walking from the
buffet to their table with trays piled to the sky with every food
imaginable, including two 10 pound provolones and four giant salamis.
When they are finished even the pictures of food on the wall are gone!
The highlight is when Buff makes one of his signature sound effects by
clapping two calzones in front of his mouth. At the end of the scene
they are chased by an ambiguously ethnic restaurant manager demanding
they pay more, and when they collapse on a stoop, stains on their
warmups, food on their faces, they decide to change thheir name to the
Fat Boys."
Does this description resemble what you have in mind? Please let me know.
