“Cheeseburger in Paradise” by Jimmy Buffett

Just about the entire Louis Jordan catalog.
“Jambalaya”
Mama’s Fried Potatoes by The Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band. Also, their Persimmon Song.
The Last Supper from Jesus Christ Superstar
Look at all my trials and tribulations
Sinking in a gentle pool of wine.
What’s that in the bread?

Apple cider and doughnuts,
Bread, whole wheat and rye.
Fresh creamery butter,
And blueberry pie…(bom, bom, bom…)
Fresh creamery butter,
AND BLUEBERRY PIIIIEEEE!!!*

Banana Boat Song - Harry Bellafonte
Banana Pancakes- Jack Johnson
Do herbs count? Because if so:
Scarborough Fair - Simon & Garfunkel
And, well, this one’s a bit of a stretch…
