£1 Pound Fish Man - London's Most Successful Market Trader

‎"Come on ladies, come on ladies, one pound fish... Have a have a look, one pound fish!"

The words to a catchy tune pulling in customers to a fish stall in Queen's Market in East London. The man behind the song is Muhammad Shahid Nazir who decided to sing about his wares rather than shout like the other market traders. Within a month of him singing the fish song he became an internet sensation, notching up well over one million hits on Youtube and being approached by a record label, his official music video now has over 21million views!! All very crazy for such a simple song but it just shows the power of the internet and if your video is put up in the right places and at the right time you can become a global sensation...for a short period of time at least!

Thankfully this guy didn't stick around for too long, or else he would've driven everyone insane!!

one pound fish!
