“Harold the Barrel” - Genesis
“Harold the Barrel, cut off his toes and he served them all for Tea.”
Woah...... why you be ruining this song for me... :-(
Geez man they were singing this version in the schoolyard right after Dean Martin recorded That’s Amore.
There’s a Jewish version on youtube called “That’s A Menorah”. Then there’s a political version, “That’s a racist”.
`Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.’
;^)
I remember that!
Thanks for the links - glad you liked the “Peanut Polka”....
I'm glad someone got that one. It's amazing how many of these songs with food in the title area bout something other than food.
Has anyone mentioned "Tangerine Speedo" or "Sugarless" by Caviar?
(Well, ok, "tangerine" in the 1st instance is a color, but the band's name makes up for it!)
Anyway, stretching a bit, with wine as food:
"The Wizard", by Uriah Heep.
"He told me tales and he drank my wine, me and my magic man, kinda' feelin' fine."
"Days of Wines and Roses", by Henry Mancini. (See, I listen to more than just rock!)
Also "White Lightning and Wine" by Heart (Mushroom Records, btw, and we'll assume not the poisonous type!)
And stretching further, with whiskey as "food"(!?)
"That Smell", by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
"Whiskey bottles, and brand new cars, oak tree you're in my way."
With water as food, I did not see mentioned:
"Ice, Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice.
Then there are more bands, etc., with food in their name: Tangerine Dream comes to mind.
Oh, and has anyone mentioned “Chocolate Fudge” by Mannheim Steamroller?
(Once it really gets going, you’ll need goooood woofers to reproduce that one properly, off the CD! If you haven’t knocked the fixture off the ceiling light in the bathroom, you’re not there yet...)
:-)
Yuck!!!!!
Granted that “Fudge” was actually a play on words for “Fugue”.
Related (to the thread subject, and them having composed many a commercial jingle for food & beverage companies):
No, I don’t know them - I just stumbled across the link while researching catfish!
Dang, what a GREAT list!
Gee whiz, seems like just about everything has made its way to YouTube now. I’m constantly surprised. Yet the last time I tried to find something, a late-1920s Henry Busse recording I have on a rather scratchy 78, I struck out.
