Top songs about food
Seeing as how we all need food to live, it only makes sense that now and then we sing about it. While some bands like Cake, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Meat Loaf, Peaches, The Cranberries and Korn seem to like food enough that they name themselves after it, the usual route is to simply write a song.

Sometimes, however, there are some songs, which combine two of the better things in life: food and sex. These songs on the surface may be about food, but when you listen to the lyrics, the double entendres start popping out:
“Cherry Pie” by Warrant
“Sex and Candy” by Marcy Playground
‘Milkshake’ by Kelis
The unrivaled king of food songs, however, is Weird Al Yankovic with an entire album devoted to food, including Fat, Eat It, I Love Rocky Road, and The White Stuff.
The only thing better than listening to songs about food may be to eat food, which, luckily, most people do numerous times a day.
