Also, several songs from the Beach Boys’ Smile sessions were about food – weird stuff about vegetables. Right around when Frank Zappa, also in southern California, was recording “Call Any Vegetable” (and “Duke of Prunes”). Healthy munchies – how very “LA circa '67”…

Tom Waits, “Chocolate Jesus”

Metamora, “Little Potato”. A sweet song about a newborn baby, by a circa-1990 minor folk-bluegrass group/

I think you’re talking about the same song…

Found a peanut…

“And he slid for four hundred yards
Along the hill that leads into Scranton Pennsylvania
All those thirty thousand pounds of bananas”
Also, NaCl by the McGarrigle Sisters. Think of the love that you eat when you salt your meat.

Alfredo’s by ALL

An ode to what they wanted to order at their favorite restaurant.

“Thanksgiving Song” by Laurie Berkner.

I’ve been singing it all week.
