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
- “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

Stack banana till the morning come
(Daylight come, and he wan’ go home)
- “Black Coffee” by All Saints
Brush your teeth
And pour a cup of black coffee out

Well I wish I was a catfish,
Swimming in the deep blue sea.

Broke my choux pastry heart
Guess life’s no picture postcard
Side B

These are the days of wine and roses
And he who hesitates is lost

Nothing is real, and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever

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

Just tea for two

Wild honey
