OT: Songs That Mention Food and/or Drink

[RockyMTblue2]

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.

Does metaphorical food count?

Well, now you've ruined the innocence of that song for me. Thanks, Rocky!

Here's one with Emmylou Harris singing along with Dylan, plus the wonderful violin of Scarlet Rivera.

I've read that J.S. Bach's coffeehouse concerts were among the very first public concerts in western musical history. Here's a piece that he performed in the coffeehouse.

ZZ Top - Burger Man

Lonesome George and the Delaware Destroyers, Live - One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer
Saw him live in Burlington eons ago, he puts on a great show, whole lotta energy.

You are my candy girl ... should have been a hint @CL82.

One of my absolute favorite food songs. Great vocals from Linda and guitar from Richard.

You are my candy girl ... should have been a hint @CL82

I was too young to pick up the connotation when it first came out, and I havd not thought about it since.

Sugar
Oh, honey, honey
You are my candy girl
And you got me wanting you
Honey
Oh, sugar, sugar
You are my candy girl
And you got me wanting you
I just can't believe
The loveliness of loving you
I just can't believe it's true
I just can't believe
The wonder of this feeling, too
I just can't believe it's true
Ah, sugar
Oh, honey, honey
You are my candy girl
And you got me wanting you

Joni- from her "Court and Spark" album;

And these rocks and these cactus going by
And a bottle of German wine to drink....

It was a favorite of the Disc Jockeys for many a moon. Bouncy little tune. Several years into it I had a eureka moment.

You can't but be happy listening to Toots and the Maytals. This one has lots of references to food.

All the people them dress up in-a white
Fi go eat up Johnson's wedding cake

Geez, now I'm gonna listen to Toots all afternoon in the workshop. And I'll be happy.

 

[Jackcatscal]

From the Grateful Dead:

Half-step, Mississippi uptown toodeloo
Hello, baby, I'm gone, goodbye
Half a cup of rock and rye
Farewell to you old Southern skies
I'm on my way, on my way

 

[Ozimoto]

Surprised this one hasn't shown up yet.

Here's a wassailing song from Steeleye Span.
