For over 30 years, "Weird" Al Yankovic has been singing about his food. My Bologna, I Love Rocky Road. Eat It, Fat, Lasagna, Addicted to Spuds, The White Stuff...
With all of these songs about food, it never occurred to me that there might be food that sings - until last night, when we heard a song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, followed by a song by the Black Eyed Peas. So that got me thinking - how many other kinds of food have had hit records??? I imagined I could probably come up with an entire Hard Rock Café menu of singing food! Starting out the menu, we could have an appetizer section, with a little Blue Oyster Cult, some Bread or Limp Bizkit.. maybe a little Pearl Jam or perhaps A Taste Of Honey? Drinks would include April Wine, Brandy, and Ice T. If the drinks aren't cold enough, just add Ice Cube. Of course we would have the aforementioned vegetables, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Black Eyed Peas, along with Korn and even some Smashing Pumpkins, and if the vegetables are too bland, we always could add some Spice Girls or Salt N Pepa. Not to mention a little Kevin Bacon & The Bacon Brothers! Our main courses would be Meatloaf, along with Flying Burrito Brothers. Got fruit? Lots of it - Cranberries, Peaches and Herb, Fiona Apple, Blind Melon, and Bananarama. How about some Cream? For dessert, Cake and Vanilla Ice. Have I missed your favorite food? What would you name your food band?
