Songs About Food and Drink

Hello, this is Kathleen Raskin of Las Vegas, and today at Kathey Jo’s Kitchen, I’m going to share a fun little themed playlist about food and drink. Music is a universal art that encourages involvement, much like food does. If you play air guitar, clap when the musician tells you to put your hands together, then you already know the power of music. There will always be a song out there that echoes the thoughts and feelings that you have. Imagine Star Wars without the iconic John Williams writing “The Imperial March (Darth Vader’s Theme),” or Christopher Nolan’s Inception without Hans Zimmer’s magic wand. Is your favorite song about food or drink on the list? If not, feel free to share in the comments below with the rest of the Kathey Jo’s Kitchen audience! If you can think of a song you’d like to add, let me, Kathleen Raskin, know in the comments!

 

Side A

  1. “Ain’t Nobody Here but Us Chickens” by Louis Jordan

There ain’t nobody here but us chickens

There ain’t nobody here at all

  1. “Banana Boat (Day-O)” by Harry Belafonte

Stack banana till the morning come

(Daylight come, and he wan’ go home)

  1. “Black Coffee” by All Saints

Brush your teeth

And pour a cup of black coffee out

  1. “Catfish Blues” by Jimi Hendrix

Swimming in the deep blue sea.

  1. Choux Pastry Heart” by Corinne Bailey Rae

Broke my choux pastry heart

Guess life’s no picture postcard

 

Side B

  1. “Days of Wine and Roses” by Henry Mancini

These are the days of wine and roses

And he who hesitates is lost

Pulling mussels from a shell

Nothing is real, and nothing to get hung about

Strawberry Fields forever

It’s all because of you, I’m feelin’ sad and blue

You went away, now my life is just a rainy day

Picture me upon your knee

Just tea for two

You could go there, if you please

Wild honey
