Yes, I remember this! Several times I’ve looked to see if the video is posted anywhere online (or at least the lyrics), but to no avail.
The Beatles: “Savoy Truffle”
Didn’t the Talking Heads devote an album to songs about food?
Last Meal, by Asleep at the Wheel
TV Dinners, ZZ Top
And buildings!
Speaking of them, a few of their songs make mention of food:
In “Life During Wartime”:
“I got some groceries, some peanut butter, to last a couple of days”
In “Nothing But Flowers”:
“We caught a rattlesnake, now we’ve got something for dinner”
“This was a Pizza Hut, now it’s all covered with daisies”
“I miss the honky tonks, Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens”
Allen Sherman’s Grow Mrs. Goldfarb
You had for breakfast: two pounds bacon
Three dozen eggs, one coffee cake, and
Then you had something really awful
Four kippered herrings on a waffle
Nine English muffins, one baked apple
Boston cream pie, Philadelphia scrapple
Seventeen bowls of Crispy Crunch
Then you said, “What’s for lunch?”
How about More Songs About Buildings and Food?
And Ninjas! (See posts #25 and 29. )
“Junk Food Junkie” - Larry Groce (1976)
Nutrition by The Dead Milkmen
I’ve got nowhere to go
Just movin’ on my feet
People say I’ve got no ambition
At least I give a shit
About the stuff I eat
Yeah! I care about nutrition
Cheesecake by Louis Armstrong
Judy Collins — “Cook With Honey”
