Guest guest Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 " Eating Goober Peas " is a Civil War era song. Lots of folk songs have food references. I think Allan Sherman had some food songs. GB Food Songs For the last 20 years or so, I've been collecting songs about food, and I play them on my weekend marathon cooking sessions. Once mp3s were invented, my 90 minute mix tape became 40 hours of CDs!! One area that I am severely lacking, is children's music. I was reminded of this a couple of weeks ago on the Today Show, some blonde woman was singing a song about Freddy's Spaghetti, but I had to leave for work before the segment aired, and I didn't even catch her name. If anyone has suggestions about food songs, not limited to children's music, I'd love to hear them. Blab-away for as little as 1¢/min. Make PC-to-Phone Calls using Messenger with Voice.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Alan Sherman has GREAT food songs, including Hungarian Goulas, and Why I Got Fat (he was helping the poor people in europe after WWII by finishing his plate, 3, 4 5 times!) Weird Al also has a huge collection of food songs, so I guess comedy and food must go hand-in-hand.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 What about " Potato " by Cheryl Wheeler? It isn't specifically a kid's song, but it is fun and I know a few kids who love it. Here's a link to the lyrics: http://www.cherylwheeler.com/songs/potato.html but its better to hear it, since the chorus is the best part.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 I think there may be more songs about bananas than anything else except ice cream, and yet I've never heard that one. Thanks for the tip. Bananas in Pajamas is my favorite. akfral Wednesday, March 29, 2006 5:11:04 PM Re: Re: Food songs In a message dated 3/29/2006 2:47:14 P.M.
