If music be the food ...(reprise)

 

A few years back, I compiled a list of food-related band and song names.  It was fun.  Since then I have amused myself by keeping a list of other music names that I have come across.  How could I have left out so many from my first list!  E says I am cheating if the songs aren't about food but he obviously has other criteria than I .

A few esoteric notes.  I have avoided collecting album names as well (you have to constrain an obsession) but I must mention a few quirky ones that E has passed to me: The Donut in Granny's Greenhouse by the Bonzo Dog Band and the unforgettable Feeding Pieces of Eggplant Sandwich to a Flock of Not too Bright Seagulls by Hugo.  If you like 1970s British chic or just want a laugh, do check out 'Toast' by Streetband on Youtube.  I have discovered that the Soup Dragons got their name from one of Sylvia's favourite DVDs: The Clangers.  Lastly I was so amused by the Tiny Tim song 'Yum Yum' that when I couldn't find the lyrics online I transcribed them for you - they are at the very end of the post for your entertainment!  Enjoy!

Yum Yum (The Pizza Song) 
From God Bless Tiny Tim (The Complete Reprise Studio Masters and More)

Yum yum yum yum yum yum
Where's the pretty dish for me
Come come come come come come
I'm are happy as can be

Where's my plate
Where's my spoon
We'll be dining very soon
Where's my plate

We'll be dining soon

I like vitamins nutritious
I like wheatgerm, honey too
I like pumpkin seeds and apples 
They are all good for me and you

Yum yum yum Yum yum yum
Where's that pretty dish for me
Yum yum yum Yum yum yum
Where's that dish for me

I like ice cream, cake and candy
I like sugar, spice and cream
I like popcorns, I like pretzels
I like pies and jelly beans

Yum yum yum yum yum yum
Yum yum yum yum yum yum yum
Where's my plate
Where's my spoon
We'll be dining soon
