OT: Songs That Mention Food and/or Drink

.-.
Brother Ray Benson, Asleep At The Wheel, and some of the original Texas Playboys - Roly Poly. Live

Roly-Poly, eatin′ corn and 'taters
Hungry every minute of the day
Roly-Poly, gnawin' on a biscuit
As long as he can chew it, it′s okay
He can eat an apple pie
And never even bat an eye
He likes everything from soup to hay

 
Lyle Lovett - This Old Porch

And this old porch is like a steaming, greasy plate of enchiladas
With lots of cheese and onions
And a guacamole salad
And you can get 'em down at the LaSalle hotel
In old downtown
With iced tea and a waitress
And she will smile every time

 
Tom Waits - Big Joe and Phantom 309

"Well, he tossed me a dime as he put her in low
And said - "Have yourself a cup on old Big Joe."

 
Old and In The Way - Land of the Navajo

"We rule with guns and knives fed whiskey to your warriors
While we stole away your wives"

Lots of food and drink in this one. The intro is wonderful.

 
I think Jery Jeff could write these wonderful "ballads" with the very best songwriters out there....

"I hold some grapes up to the sun
Flavor breaks and bursts and rolls upon my tongue
Eager tongues, we'll always taste our strife"

Have to make my way through the thread, but I feel pretty confident that no one posted this yet:



"Give me weed, whites, and wine...". It fits though it's a better fit of you go with how I misheard the lyrics back in the day, which was "give me wheat, rice, and wine..."

Delightful tune - Michael Frank's girlfriend loves eggplant:

 
Dire Straits - Wild West End:

Stepping out to Angelucci′s
For my coffee beans

 


Fun fact, this song was originally offered to The Monkeys who turned it down for being too vapid. Don Kirschner was so annoyed that he decided to make a hit out of it using cartoon characters. I've always felt that was an editorial statement about how he viewed The Monkeys.
