Great (or not) Songs with Food in the Title
What’s your favourite?
Here’s a challenge for you all, what’s the best or worst for that matter song with a food substance in the title? It can be any genre of music, the quirkier the better. Here’s a few of mine, I’ll leave you to work out which ones I would actually listen to!
1. Lemon Song-Led Zeppelin
2. Custard Pie- Led Zeppelin
3. Tangerine- Led Zeppelin
4. Strawberry Fields Forever- Led Zeppelin (just kidding)
5. Honey Child- Bad Company
6. Eat the Rich- Motorhead
7. Raspberry Beret- Prince
8. Return of the Giant Hogweed- Genesis
9. Blueberry Hill- Fats Domino
10. God’s Great Banana Skin- Chris Rea
I’ve deliberately left out a certain song by one of my brother’s all-time favourite bands of the late 70’s and 80’s in the hope that it will bug him, somehow I doubt it. What’s your best and worst?
Miles,
American Pie - Don McLean
The Banana Boat Song - Harry Belefonte

Entangled,
What a great list! I’ve heard of Willie Bobo before (sax player or similar?) but not the others.
Thanks for your contribution and welcome to the site.
Kind regards
