Well, we are leaving Arizona today, after a full day of music and family yesterday - a good combination. The Farmers Market was a great experience (see previous blog) as we played and sang for nearly 2 straight hours while people shopped and sampled at the various booths presenting some of the best produce of the region. Having sampled some, I think I can agree. People enjoyed the music, too, so I guess I would venture to say that music and food can go together. In fact, at most of our music gatherings, refreshments are served somewhere during the event (and sometimes more than once).
So, what songs come to mind that deal with food? Or with drink? (OK, here come the drinking songs!) Remember, you need not include all the lyrics (and maybe just one verse of a song deals with food). A link to lyrics, an MP3 file, or a YouTube video also work. So does a song title. Just share a song you like that deals with consumables.
My offering:
"The Fox" - I love this song that dates back to the 1600s. And the imagery of "The fox and his wife, without any strife, cut up the goose with a fork and a knife; they never had such a supper in their life, and the little ones chewed on the bones-o." I blogged about this song a while back, giving the YouTube link to Harry Belafonte's version (my personal favorite).
Your turn. Don't sing with your mouth open!!

Food or drink songs?
ReplyDeleteOh my!
The first that comes to my mind is:
"Do you know the muffin man?
The muffin man, the muffin man,
Do you know the muffin man
Who lives on Drewery Lane?"
Following that... "99 bottles of beer on the wall...", but let's not go there! We'll be singing it in our heads for the rest of the day! LOL
I loved the muffin man...remember it well...often wished there was one in our town
