The best food-related song lyrics

Ween -- Bananas and Blow

Sancho brought a message from the Fat Man
"Sorry, boy, to leave you high and dry,
but I went to see my mom in Ensenada,
and I left a little something to help the time go by
Just a little something to help to keep you high"

Bananas & Blow (oh - oh), Bananas & Blow
Stuck in my cabana, living on Bananas & Blow

Now the rainy season reminds me of Maria
The way she danced, the color of her hair
Now I'm locked inside a stall at the cantina
Eating the bananas and the cocaine off the mirror
Looking for a ticket to take me away from here

Bananas & Blow (oh - oh), Bananas & Blow
Stuck in my cabana, living on Bananas & Blow

(guitar solo)

Bananas & Blow (oh - oh), Bananas & Blow
Stuck in my cabana, living on Bananas & Blow

 

Also, there is a new song out by Lady Gaga where she talks about

"Bluffin with her Muffin" although we can all agree she isn't talking about muffins.

Speaking of bad lyrics that are sexual innuendos, there is also a rap song called "Bubble Gum" where some hoodrat sings about guys chewing on her "bubble gum."

There's also a rap song called Chicken Noodle Soup... it is awful, I won't even post the lyrics.

Continuing on with Rap lyrics... Sugar Hill Gang has some in their song Rapper's Delight - pretty good ones.

I don't mean to brag, I don't mean to boast
But we like hot butter on our breakfast toast

followed by...

like a can of beer that's sweeter than honey
.....
have you ever went over a friends house to eat
and the food just aint no good
i mean the macaroni's soggy the peas are mushed
and the chicken tastes like wood
so you try to play it off like you think you can
by sayin that youre full
and then your friend says momma he's just being polite
he aint finished uh uh that's bull
so your heart starts pumpin and you think of a lie
and you say that you already ate
and your friend says man there's plenty of food
so you pile some more on your plate
while the stinky foods steamin your mind s
tarts to dreamin
of the moment that it's time to leave
and then you look at your plate and your chickens slowly rottin
into something that looks like cheese
oh so you say that's it i got to leave this place
i dont care what these people think
im just sittin here makin myself nauseous
with this ugly food that stinks
so you bust out the door while its still closed
still sick from the food you ate
and then you run to the store for quick relief
from a bottle of kaopectate
and then you call your friend two weeks later
to see how he has been
and he says i understand about the food
baby bubbah but we're still friends
with a hip hop the hippie to the hippie
the hip hip a hop a you dont stop the rockin
to the bang bang boogie
say up jump the boogie to the rhythm of the boogie the beat
i say hank can ya rock
can ya rock to the rhythm that just dont stop
can ya hip me to the shoobie doo
i said come on make the make the people move

 

Robert Earl Keen sings of "Barbecue." I assume he's been to Cooper's in Llano.

Oooh when I was a little boy
Only one or two
The first thing I did enjoy
Was a plate of Barbeque

CHORUS:
Barbeque sliced beef and bread
Ribs and sausage and a cold Big Red
Barbeque makes old ones feel young
Barbeque makes everybody someone
If you're feelin' puny and you don't know what to do
Treat yourself to some meat eat some barbeque

Now there was a girl I knew
She treated me so mean
I offered her my Barbeque
She licked my platter clean

CHORUS

Don't give me no broccoli
Or any Swiss fondue
Baby if you want to rock me
Give me good ole barbeque

CHORUS

Don't send me to heaven
It ain't where I should go
Cause the Devil's got a charcoal pit
And a good fire down below

CHORUS

Let your feet hit the street
Find a good place to eat
Get some Barbeque

 

It's supposed to be BEST food-related lyrics, not the worst song in pop music history!

 

Chicken, Gravy & Biscuits by Little Ed and the Blues Imperials.

 

I submit Jill Scott's "It's Love" for consideration.

"Do you want it in your black-eyed peas..."

 

"I'll stir-fry you in my wok!"

- Beasties (with bonus point for inference of cannibalism)

 

Anyone mention "Buttermilk Biscuits" by Sir Mix-a-Lot?

 

Lil Wayne has a submission...

(NSFW)

 

"Sometimes I like to brag/Sometimes I'm soft-spoken/And when I'm in Holland/I eat the pannekoken. - Beastie Boys, Super Disco Breakin'

 

By Skip and Flip (1960)


Cherry, nah-nah-nah cherry pie nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
Cherry, nah-nah-nah cherry pie nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
Cherry, nah-nah-nah cherry pie , whoa so good
Nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Sugar, nah-nah-nah sugar plum nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
Sugar, nah-nah-nah sugar plum nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
Sugar, nah-nah-nah sugar plum, sweet as they come
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
(Da, da, da, da, da)

Like Little Jack Horner sat, sat, sat in the corner
Eating his cherry, cherry pie
I didn't put in a thumb
I didn't pull out a plum
I guess I'm not as great as he, whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Give me nah-nah-nah give me some nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
Give me nah-nah-nah give me some nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
Give me nah-nah-nah give me some cherry, cherry pie
Nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah cherry pie
Nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah cherry pie

 

I don't eat beef, but that line always makes my mouth water.

I'm also partial to the Descendents' "I Like Food," which clocks in at a whopping 17 seconds long.

As a Hoosier, I dig Rev. Peyton and His Big Damn Band's "Persimmon Song," all about Indiana cuisine, with shout-outs to persimmon, fried biscuits and apple butter, and enormous fried pork tenderloin sandwiches on tiny buns. Maybe someday they'll record an extended version with tributes to navy bean soup and sorghum.
