OT: Songs That Mention Food and/or Drink

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"

Classic old Fleetwood Mac:

Two friends having coffee together
When something flies by their window.....

Funky song.

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"

 

[CL82]

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..."

 

[Scud49]

Delightful tune - Michael Frank's girlfriend loves eggplant:

 

[CL82]

I tried it once....was warned....never again!

Which came first?

 

[Scud49]

Dire Straits - Wild West End:

Stepping out to Angelucci′s
For my coffee beans

 

[CL82]

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.

The Dead - Me and My Uncle:

"And I took the horses up to the stall
Went to the barroom, ordered drinks for all"

 

[Scud49]

Bobbie Gentry:

"Mama said to me, Child, what's happened to your appetite?
I've been cookin' all mornin' and you haven't touched a single bite"

 

[Bigboote]

This one has a couple of verses on food and drink:

Some serving men do eat the very best in meat
Such as cock, goose, capon, and swan
But when lords and ladies dine
They drink strong beer, ale, and wine
That’s some diet for a servant man

Don’t talk about your capons, let’s have some rusty bacon
Aye, and good piece of pickled pork
That’s always in my house, a crust of bread and cheese
That’s some diet for a husband man
