<P> "Rubber Biscuit" became the theme tune to Jimmy's Food Factory, a programme about supermarkets's food tricks on BBC One . The Chips's version is played at the beginning and end of each show . It was also featured in the 1990 John Waters film Cry - Baby . It also featured in the Martin Scorsese film Mean Streets . </P> <P> The Chips were teenage friends in New York: Charles Johnson (lead vocal), Nathaniel Epps (baritone), Paul Fulton (bass), Sammy Strain and Shedrick Lincoln (tenors). "Rubber Biscuit" started life as Johnson's answer to the marching rhythms of the Warwick School For Delinquent Teenagers while he was an intern there . </P> <P> When Josie Records heard the tune they signed the group and the record was issued in September 1956 . Although it did not chart, "Rubber Biscuit" became an instant east coast radio favorite, and saw its performers touring alongside The Dells, The Cadillacs, and Bo Diddley, but the momentum gained by their debut single was waning and the group broke up at the end of 1957 . Only Sammy Strain went on to success in the music industry, as a member of Little Anthony & The Imperials from about 1961 to 1972, when he left to join The O'Jays . Strain left the O'Jays in 1992 to return to The Imperials, where he remained until his retirement in 2004 . </P>
