I'm not inept or expert with kitchen utensils; I know just enough to be a menace to my family. Same goes for my musical instruments. I was thinking the other day, and drew an uncustomary blank brain... song lyrics with food or cooking reference... after a few minutes of memory digging...

Do Re Mi - from Sound of Music
"ti~ I drink with jam and bread..."

Can you think of any other songs?
 
Cheeseburger in Paradise

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie that's amore

first thing to come to mind...
"you say tomato and i say tomahto, you say potato and i say potahto. Tomato. Tomahto. Potato. Potahto. Let's call the whole thing off."
 
Pour some sugar on me.

On top of spaghetti, all covered in cheese...

Food glorious food.

You put the lime in the coconut.

Do you know the muffin man.

Buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks.

Red red wine.
 
From "(We're Not) The Jet Set" by George Jones and Tammy Wynette:

No we're not the jet set
We're the old Chevrolet set.
Our steak and martinis
Is draft beer with weenies.

Eggplant
Michael Franks
From: The Art of Tea

Whenever I explore the land of Yin
I always take one on the chin
And now this lioness has almost made me tame.
I can't reveal her name but
Eggplant is her game.

The lady sticks to me like white on rice.
She never cooks the same way twice.
Maybe it's the mushrooms. Maybe the tomatoes.
I can't reveal her name but Eggplant is her game.

When my baby cooks her Eggplant,
She don't read no book.
She's got a Gioconda kinda of dirty look

And my baby cooks her Eggplant,
Bout 19 different ways.
Sometimes I just have it raw with Mayonnaise.

[break]

Maybe its the way she grates her cheese,
Or just the freckles on her knees.
Maybe its the scallions. Maybe she's Italian.
I can't reveal her name but Eggplant is her game.

She don't read no book.

Great tune. Had Larry Carlton on guitar, Joe Sample on keys, Michael Brecker, Wilton Felder, Dave Sanborn at various places on the album.

I liked the Jimmy Dean biscuit clip - brought to mind an old hillbilly song - these are the first couple of lines as I remember them:

Pass the biscuits, Mirandy. I'm just as hongry as sin.
Pass the gravy, Mirandy. Gotta have some sop to sop 'em in.

Any help here, Luckytrim?
 
Well, aren't you just unbeatable, Luckytrim! My mother from East TN used to sing the Mirandy song and I thought that's where she got it - but here I am brought up short again. I don't think Spike & his gang were hillbillies. So thanks once again. At least I'm getting some exercise tripping down memory lane.

Now I'm going to look at the Oliver clip.
