Food for Thought

I have a nephew who is the most serious kid I’ve met. He is planning to attend a culinary school and training to become a chef. So in honor of his 14th birthday, I’ve put together a “music to cook by” playlist.

  1. Matchbox 20 – Breakfast at Tiffany’s
  2. Dean Martin – How Do You Like Your Eggs In The Morning
  3. Supertramp – Breakfast in America
  4. Spike Jones – Yes, We Have No Bananas
  5. Red Hot Chili Peppers – Aeroplane
  6. Bread – Guitar Man
  7. REO Speedwagon – The Unidentified Flying Tuna
  8. Jimmy Buffet – Cheeseburger in Paradise
  9. Meatloaf – Bat Out Of Hell
  10. Don McLean – American Pie
  11. Cake – Love You Madly
  12. Reverend Horton Heat – Eat Steak
  13. Weird Al Yankovic – Girls Just Wanna Eat Lunch
  14. Blind Melon – Soup
  15. The Wiseguys – Root Beer Rag
  16. Snow Patrol – Chocolate
  17. THX – Jurassic Lunch (not really a song, but fun nonetheless)

There were a few songs that didn’t make the cut due to lyrical “issues” (he has four younger, impressionable siblings). What favorite food-related band or song did I miss?

  1. You left out Bowling for Soup… probably wanna go with ‘1985’ as ‘Almost’ has a couple of “lyrical issues” I suppose.

  3. What about “Incense and Peppermints” by “Strawberry Alarm Clock”? Heh food references all over that title/artist.

    “French Toast” by the Bob and Tom show

    “Green Eggs and Ham” by Weird Al Yankovic(if you need it and have trouble finding it since it isn’t very common I can help you with that)

    “Prime Auto Soup” by “Meat Beat Manifesto” (on the Matrix CD, don’t think it has anything bad it in)

    “Veruca Salt” off the new Charlie and The Chocolate Factory soundtrack

  7. Well, there’s always The Black Eyed Peas. Possibly “don’t phunk with my heart” or “Don’t lie?” Also, Jimmy Eat World-The Middle.
