VeganMoFo 17: My Favorite Foodie Songs!

Usually, when I'm in the kitchen, I've got the radio tuned to NPR... but sometimes I just don't feel like cooking to "Marketplace," ya know? So, I've compiled some of my person favorite songs about food. Sorry for the long download, but I promise these are great songs!

Hank Williams: Hey Good Lookin'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95aP0OWx4jY
Truly a classic... one of the all time best kitchen songs. Whatcha got cookin'?

Johnny Cash: While I've Got it on My Mind
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kHkTDVlXRI
I LOVE this sweet and romantic song. I like to listen to it when I make jam.

Lyle Lovett: Church
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-42NzUuUlLY
Everyone was gettin' so hungry!


Kate Bush : Eat the Music

This song is possibly my favorite Kate Bush song.


Louis Jordan: Beans and Cornbread
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV7_2oy8LMY
I'll be ready tomorrow night!
I sing this song ALL THE TIME. It is one of my favorite
songs ever, and this video is extra fun.


Louis Jordan: Two Little Squirrels
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjZNgHjAKrU
This is Mr. VE&Ts & my official song. It is so sweet and
funny and romantic. Not really great dancing, but MAN,
what a great song!!


Louis Prima: Angelina
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIJzpdJIdmI
I eat the antipasto twice, just because she is so nice!
I dare you not to smile when you listen to this one.


Big Rock Candy Mountain
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CW0hGhINjc
It sounds like such a lovely place: The lemonade
springs where the blue bird sings


Cookie Monster: C is for Cookie
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye8mB6VsUHw
No foodie song list would be complete without
Mr. C. Monster.


Texas Tornados: Guacamole
No video available, buy you can listen to it here:

A sexy romp through the grocery market: We'd be makin'
guacamole all night long!

Under the Mango Tree
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9qpCb281Y4
This one is a fairly recent favorite... discovered while
watching "Dr. No" (highly recommended)
- so insanely weird and addictive!

Any other great songs I missed?
