OT: Songs That Mention Food and/or Drink

[Lafayette]

Challenged as YT is blocked at work so I cannot see if anyone posts YT but does not post the mention...

1. "Brown Sugar" is a baking ingredient and was a hell of a Rolling Stones song.
2. "Killer Queen" by Queen "she keeps her Moet and Chandon"...
3. "McArthur Park" love Donna Summer's version had a few food mentions
4. "Saturday in the Park" by Chicago had a man selling ice cream [singing Italian songs...]
5. Led Zeppelin has many but even "Misty Mountain Hop" had them stop for tea
6. "Do You Feel Like I do" by Frampton mentions a Sherman cigar but also wine glass "who's wine, what wine, where the hell did I dine?"

Another drinking song from Robert Jon (see above). Got all kinds in here. Wine, Tequila, Bourbon, etc. Fan video.

You need to take 12 steps forward! How many songs about whiskey?

This was just playing on Pandora. Well not the KEXP live version, but the same song anyway.

Was thinking of this before the other song popped up. More sugar. Might be metaphorical not literal like another previously discussed song.

More metaphors? Are any of these songs actually about food?

Cool old school classic reggae:

@nwhoopfan , speaking of peaches. And I don't mean to make this political.

Since we've been having an extended period of hot weather here in the mid Atlantic region, a couple of songs come to mind...

 

[Ozimoto]

This one is not quite as "poppy"

Here is another song with the title of "Sugar and Spice." Recorded in 1966, I like this version a bit better than the recording by The Searchers who recorded it in 1963.

Leanin' up against the metaphors again while keeping with the 'Popsicle' theme. Some interesting lyrics....
Michael Franks - Popsicle Toes
Don't really remember when I first heard this....long time ago.

My bus driver when I was growing up liked country music, and I remember this one from the drive to school in the morning. Country music isn't my thing, but I do agree with the sentiment of this song (and it DOES make me a jolly good fellow).

I like Tom's storytelling style, and I admit to liking quite a lot of what I call 'old country'.

Tom T Hall - Old Dogs, Children, and Watermelon Wine

Speaking of beer - one eye out of the barroom door otta do it:

One more shot of whiskey!

Shakey's Pizza was THE pizza place out in Calif. back in the 60's/70's. Not great pizza, but to most folks in the West back then, Shakey's pie was what pizza was supposed to taste like.

Most locations had live musical entertainment most evenings, straw-hat Dixieland for the most part... Fun place to go.

They also had at least one submit-a-jingle contest over the years...

This Sacramento jazz band wrote one as a joke, obviously didn't submit it, not original.... but a hell of a lotta fun!

 

[nwhoopfan]

I don't know why it took me as long as it did to find this band. It's country, but I think there's quite a bit of rock in their DNA.

For you beer fans, here's a song that put it in the title twice.
