Songs with, or About Food

[Pomai]

This should be fun...

Name songs that are about food or drinks, or that at least include food or drink in the lyrics. Even if it's just one line.

• My Kind of Girl - Frank Sinatra: "She's really sweet enough to eat. She looks like an angel looks, She cooks like an angel cooks..."
• Warrant (metal hair band) - Cherry Pie: "She's my cherry pie. Cool drink of water. Such a sweet surprise. Tastes so good. Make a grown man cry. Sweet Cherry Pie!
• UB40 - Red Red Wine: Red, red wine. Go to my head. Make me forget that I, still need her so.
• UB40 - Bring Me You Cup (one of my favorite songs by them): "I’ve got the bottle, bring me your cup. Pop the cork, and try a sup. And when you’re empty, I’ll fill you up. We’ll drink it down till the sun comes up.
• John Cruz - Island Style: "Mama's in the kitchen cooking dinner real nice, Beef stew on the stove, lomi salmon with the ice. We eat & drink and we sing all day. Kanikapila in the old Hawaiian way.
• Sean Na'auau - Fish & Poi:"I like my fish and poi. I'm a big boy. Lomi salmon, pipikaula, extra large lilikoi, Squid or chicken lu'au. Don't forget the laulau. Beef or tripe stew, just to name a few. Oh yeah!"

[Glen Miyashiro]

Re: Songs with, or About Food

You can't leave out "Eating", Rap Reiplinger's parody of "Feelings". I can't remember all of it but the chorus still rings in my head:

Eating
I get off on eating

[...]

Like aku
I like poke aku
Poke ahu's ono
With da limu on top

EEEEAAATIIINNNGGG
I'm forever EEEEAAATIIINNNGGG
It really blows my mind
When there's nothing to grind

And squid luau
Where's my squid luau?
Squid luau's a winner
I could eat three pounds for dinner

Ah yes. But of course, where there's food, there's eating!

I never heard that song by Rap before. Is it on the Poi Dog album?

Here's a few more...

• The Doors - Back Door Man: "You men eat your dinner. Eat your pork and beans. I eat more chicken than any man ever seen, yeah, yeah..."
• Braddah Waltah - Sweet Lady of Waihole: "Sweet lady of waihole. She’s sittin by the highway. Selling her papaya, and her green and ripe banana"

It's 5 o'clock Somewhere~ Jimmy Buffet and Alan Jackson

Ah... then you can't forget this one!...

Margaritaville - Jimmy Buffet
"Nibblin' on sponge cake,
watchin' the sun bake;
All of those tourists covered with oil.
Strummin' my six string on my front porch swing.
Smell those shrimp
They're beginnin' to boil.

Wasted away again in Margaritaville,
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt."

Another one...

The Hukilau song
"Oh we're going to a hukilau
A huki huki huki huki hukilau
Everybody loves the hukilau
Where the laulau is the kaukau at the lû`au "

Escape (The Pina Colada Song)

...reminds me of all my sorority retreats in college!

They need to do a Lava Colada song! I like those much better!

Re: Food Songs

LikaNui, I forgot about that one. Does he mention the expensive prices of the food at CBP in the lyrics? lol

A few more rock songs...

Ice Cream Man - Van Halen
I got good lemonade, ah, dixie cups
All flavors and push ups too
Im your ice cream man, baby, stop me when Im passin by
See now all my flavors are guaranteed to satisfy

Pour Some Sugar on Me - Def Leppard
Pour some sugar on me
C'mon fire me up
Pour your sugar on me
Oh, I can't get enough

I'm hot, sticky sweet
From my head to my feet yeah

For obvious reasons, rock lyrics involving food are usually sexually driven.

Re: Songs with, or About Food

Tiki will like this one...

That's Amore - Dean Martin
When the moon hits your eye
Like a big-a pizza pie
That's amore
When the world seems to shine
Like you've had too much wine
That's amore

Re: Songs with, or About Food

Here are some.

1. Savoy Truffle (Beatles):
Cream tangerine and montelimar,
A ginger sling with a pineapple heart,
A coffee dessert, yes you know it’s good news,
But you’ll have to have them all pulled out after the savoy truffle.
Cool cherry cream and nice apple tart,
I feel your taste all the time we’re apart,
Coconut fudge really blows down those blues,
But you’ll have to have them all pulled out after the savoy truffle.


2. Eat Steak (Rev. Horton Heat)
Eat steak, eat steak eat a big ol' steer
Eat steak, eat steak do we have one dear?
Eat beef, eat beef it's a mighty good food
It's a grade A meal when I'm in the mood.


3. Spill the wine (Eric Burdon)
Spill the wine and take that pearl,
(or is is dig that girl?


4. "The Candy Man" (Sammy Davis, Jr.)
Who can take a sunrise
Sprinkle it with dew
Cover it with choc'late and a miracle or two
The Candy Man


5. Scotch & Soda (Kingston Trio) - went to Punahou
Scotch and soda, mud in your eye.
Baby, do I feel high,
oh, me, oh, my. Do I feel high.
Dry martini, jigger of gin.
Oh, what a spell you've got me in,


6. Yesterday (Beatles) Original title: Scrambled eggs
Scrambled eggs
Have an omelet with some muenster cheese.
Put your dishes in the washbin please

7. Bread & Butter (Newbeats).
I like bread and butter
I like toast and jam
That's what my baby feeds me
I'm her lovin' man

No sugar tonight in my coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with me

9. Green Onions (Booker T)
Instrumental

10. Jambalaya (Hank Williams Sr.)

11. Tequila Sunrise (Eagles)
It's another tequila sunrise
Starin' slowly 'cross the sky,
said goodbye


12. Coconut (Harry Nilsson)
She put the lime in the coconut, she drank 'em both up (3x)
Put the lime in the coconut, she called the doctor, woke him up, and said
