The
longer governments keep the food service industry locked down and unable to
provide their services at peak performance, more of us are turning to our own
kitchen skills to fill the gap.
Each of channeling our internal Jamie Oliver or Gordon Ramsay or perhaps Julia Child or Grahan Kerr (ok, I admit it..I’m Old). The theme is What’s Cookin’? Find your cooking or food-centric tunes and let’s dish up a heapin’ helping of music. (No drinks/beverages please (ie: No Pina Colada's or Jack Daniels no Coffee, Tea or Milk etc.)
So...my Game my rules?? 1. Post a non-prog video or two max, meaning you should avoid bands that are listed on the Prog Archives site. Gotta keep it manageable so choose your songs wisely. 2. Listen to the music that has been posted. 3. Keep checking back until you've listened to them all. 4. Then we will vote for our top song. 5. Everyone is welcome to vote once the voting opens. Please do not vote before the voting opens. I will add the songs when the submitter confirms their final choice in no particular order. 6. If I mess up, blame all my vaccinations, those little suckers are controlling everything now.

I'll start with this... A different take on an old familiar tune. I am most familiar with the Beggar's Opera version. Wayne Kramer - MacArthur Park These will be my two selections... Yusuf / Cat Stevens – Was Dog A Doughnut? (ft. Chick Corea) The Presidents of the United States of America - Peaches ------------- Thank you for supporting independently produced music |

This topic is too restrictive. Songs about food... but not drinks... and not prog. I won't be participating. Wake me up when someone does an interactive poll that includes prog. ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands.

Nice theme! Question: If there's food in the song, does it disqualify it if there's also a drink? (Or does the rule maybe apply to the title, so a song called "Carbonara" will work even if there's Coca Cola in the lyrics?)

OK well, for starters I try this one. It's not exactly about food in the first place, and no cooked food for sure. But I hope it counts because it's about the ICE CREAM MAN, by Mary Coughlan. |

Hahaha, take this then: Spliff - Carbonara. In fact this was probably their biggest hit, but not exactly their best song, at least not for prog fans, I suppose. They just hint at being quite good if they want to. This was my first love's favourite album when it came out. By the way, I know some appreciate Nina Hagen here, Spliff were her former band.

(otherwise you can listen to it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6y4qyYxPuI" rel="nofollow - here ) Têtes Raides - Les dents (Teeth): ...and my translation of the lyrics: I lost my teeth In a ham-cheese sandwich I lost hours By looking for my teeth My teeth are like butter Time is like wind I didn’t find back my hours Nor the passage of time After three quarters of an hour I said myself it is time To order a cheese-butter sandwich With teeth It was better before When I still had my teeth I also still had my hair And the will not to die old I lost my teeth In a ham-cheese sandwich Go for a cheese-butter sandwich With teeth After twenty quarters of an hour I said myself it is high time For a dry saussage-butter sandwich With pickles in it These pickles-ickles It’s exciting-ing When you have teeth-teeth To give it a bite ! But that was way before When I still had all my teeth And I had a grand piano And I ate tyres I lost all, I burnt all, I sold all Yes, everything disappeared, all sold off I lost all on a raw ham sandwich I’ve found my teeth Who spent some good time Next to the shopkeeper Of living organs ------------- The razamataz is a pain in the bum |

The Tubes - Sushi Girl Fat Les - Vindaloo Vindaloo was a #2 UK single in 1998 and was written as a parody of football anthems, but has since been adopted as a popular anthem of its own. The video is fun and noteworthy as a parody of the Verve's video of their massive hit Bitter Sweet Symphony. If you haven't seen that video, here's a link. https://youtu.be/1lyu1KKwC74" rel="nofollow - https://youtu.be/1lyu1KKwC74 Edit to add: Breaking the two max rule, it's only 17 seconds long by American punk band the Descendents. |

Same here. And the first songs I thought of for food were mostly humorous or laced with innuendo (as my choices represent). Drinking can be more 'serious' as a framework for a song. On the humorous side, but out of competition, this thread should include this Weird Al classic.

I have three that I really enjoy. I was going to include King Crimson's "Cat Food", but that is very prog. So here we go.... The first is The Beatles "Savoy Truffle", George Harrison's paean to Eric Clapton's inveterate sweet tooth at the time of the recording. Harrison basically reads off the different flavors of a chocolate box that Eric was snacking on. One of the most underrated and endearing tunes on The White Album. Next, Led Zeppelin's "Custard Pie". Ostensibly about a slice of a dessert confection; however, I'm quite sure Plant and Page were in the realm of double entendre with the reference.  In any case, Plant's underrated ability on the blues harp is showcased.And since I'm on about underrated music, here's one from Sting -- "Soul Cake", from the enjoyable Christmas/Winter-themed album If On A Winter's Night... (and thus a nod to one of my favorite novels, Italo Calvini's If on a winter's night a traveler). Traditionally, "soul cakes" are small round cakes made to commemorate the dead, and are given to children and the poor who go door to door on Hallowtide, singing and saying prayers for the souls of the dear departed. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

First takes on Page One: JD: Wayne
Kramer “MacArthur Park” (Out of
Competition) Punky cover of the Richard
Harris hit song, by former member of the MC5.
Such a funny lyric of someone leaving the cake out in the rain. Really pretty delightful for it’s incongruity. Yusuf/Cat Stevens “Was Dog A Doughnut? (ft
Chick Corea)” Here we have Cat Stevens
going a bit electronica. Dog bark enters
intermittently with staccato keys and whirly, jazzy keys. The Presidents of the United States of
America “Peaches” Alt/punk/grunge outfit
bring slightly tongue-in-cheek song. In
the video, the country is full of ninjas, oh no! Somehow this song reminds me of early
Grateful Dead in a way, when they had shorter songs, that is. Lots of fun stuff here, JD, thanks for the
poll and your selections! Easy Money: James Brown “Mother Popcorn Pt. 1 & 2” Here we have the Godfather of Soul with a punchy, funky piece. Lots of horns a’poppin’ and quite the groove with James signature style written all over it. Plenty of his “uh’s,” and “good God’s.” Snappy bass and steady drums keep it all in one place. Punchy sax solo, with James scatting on top all throughout. Millie Small “My Boy Lollipop” This one I remember from the time! Right when music was really changing and the British Invasion was coming. I can see my older sisters ratting their hair and dancing in the living room to this and others like it. Fun to hear it again. Lorenzo: The Mission “The Grapes of Wrath” And now for something completely different. A moving ballad essentially telling the tale of migrant workers in the US. I have lived in the area that so many of these people came to and about which Steinbeck wrote his classic novel. Beautifully done. (Out of Competition) The Beatles “Savoy Truffle” was the first song that popped into my mind, a gem of a track from The White Album. George wrote some great, inventive stuff. Christian: Mary Coughlan “Ice Cream Man” Another more serious piece, bluesy and soulful, even a sense of pop to it. Bluesy guitar lead punctuates the piece about halfway in. Full vocal chorus chimes in on the chorus. There is a sense of theatre in this to me, too, in the production. Really an intriguing piece, Christian. Spliff “Carbonara” Ska/Reggae type beat at the beginning. Sort of stilted vocal in the period of the time, not understanding the words, I’m thinking a sense of the absurd, possibly. I can get some of the gist with words without a translation. Ah, yes a bit of a lark, as it turns out. I am noticing how many funny songs there are re food with this poll never thought of it before. Kees: Yes, I wish I felt able one I’ve brought before, Cheryl Wheeler’s “Potato.” However, here we are. Pé Daalemmer & Rooie Rinus “Worst” Live recording here, another funny one, actually reminds me of “Potato,” as they are going through a list of things to go with sausages. Funny they want pretty healthy sides with a probably not-so-healthy choice for a meal. Novelty song, these usually do go well with live audiences, and this proves to do so as well. I like the guitar solo 2/3rds in. ------------- "Into every rain, a little life must fall." ~Tom Rapp |

First thoughts on Page Two Entries and some additional courses. George: The Tubes “Sushi Girl” The Tubes
were quite the rage when I lived in Santa Cruz the first time, hailing from San
Francisco. I can’t say I remember this
piece, though. Super production on this,
of course a tongue-in-cheek one, as per their usual. Has that forward-sounding
80’s sound, as I recall sushi was the new thing back then. Fat Les “Vindaloo” I’m expecting something spicy here. Here is a sort of arena-style chorus going
on, with a spoken vocal set to a march beat.
Kids join in on the chorus. Heavy
bass line as more people join in on the pep rally/march to the stadium. Descendents “I Like Food” LOL
Punky/thrashy commentary, gets right to the point! 😊 Weird
Al “Eat It” Love Weird Al! And remember this very clever sendup of Michael
Jackson’s huge hit. Greg: The Beatles “Savoy Truffle” Very familiar with this one, it was the first one that came to mind for me, as noted in Lorenzo’s non-competition sharing on Page One. George was my favourite Beatle and he really did push a lot of boundaries with them, some wonderful huge hits, bringing world music to the band and also some very creative tunes such as this one. Led Zeppelin “Custard Pie” This one I also remember, it’s in the vein of some of their earlier forays, with a deep bow to the bluesy roots of the band. Sting “Soul Cake” New one to me and love the history, before I even hear it. Really enjoy this, the choral vocals arising are beautiful and the swift pastoral feel of the tune is very charming. Also like soft horns as they use them with the traditional Noels insertions. The embellishments of the fiddle(s) is/are delicious, brought back again in the small reel at the end. Thank you! rushfan4: Jimmy Buffett “Cheeseburger In Paradise” Definitely know this one, was played frequently in Santa Cruz fern bars back in the day. Really suited the small beachside community. Pretty funny guy! David Lee Roth “Hotdog and a Shake” Wastes no time in letting Vai shine. That Dave was also a pretty funny guy, I always felt he was great at poking fun at himself, in the bargain. Vai does a great job here, quite a fun romp. dr wu23: Tony Joe White “Poke Salad Annie” This was a huge hit growing up, one of those songs that was played all across the board. A classic! Lots of fun to hear it again, it is quite an earworm, no wonder it was a hit. Chomp chomp! :D Cristi: Editors “Sugar” Here we get some heaviness, I always like those kind of whangy guitars and what a great voice! Dark, yet sultry. Has a sense of despair in it. Sort of an almost Middle Easter vibe to the synths and guitars during the bridge. Well produced. I like this one a lot, Cristi. JD: The
Archies “Sugar, Sugar” I was a little
too old to enjoy this as a cartoon when it came out, but it had a lot of appeal
for young teens of the time. I did read
Archie and Jughead comics, we always got them when taking a plane
somewhere. I do remember the song
getting plenty of airplay on LA stations like KHJ and the like. The song that you find in the dictionary when
you look up “Bubblegum Music.” 😊 Lorenzo: Pino Daniele “Fatte 'Na Pizza” Fun kind
of funk song with lots of barre chords, sung in a passionate, yet almost
sarcastic manner, I was surprised by the lyrics in English when I looked them
up, actually some seriousness to the piece.
Kind of a rap near the end. The Italians often surprise me! I actually caught the next video, which was a
lovely guitar cover of a song of his, “ Appocundria,” afterwards. ------------- "Into every rain, a little life must fall." ~Tom Rapp |

So, chiming in to pick my nomination. If it passes the board of censors my pick would be Fay Lovsky's "Food Is The Enemy".

George Elrick - I Like Bananas Reminds me of the soundtrack to so many of the movies I remember seeing when I was a wee boy. Editors - Sugar Has an almost U2 vibe to it. James Brown - Mother Popcorn The godfather of soul puts his signature vocals and groove moves on full display. David Lee Roth - Hot Dog and a Shake On brand DLR rocker The Tubes - Sushi Girl Straight ahead rock tune, but not one of their best Mary Coughlan - Ice Cream Man Slow groover with an almost folkie vibe The Mission - The Grapes of Wrath A thoughtful ballad with a bit of a Springsteen/Meatloaf feel to it Tony Joe White - Polk Salad Annie Sixties style lite Rock N Roll tune Fay Lovsky - Food Is The Enemy Slow nightclub style tune with smokey female vocals Yusuf / Cat Stevens - Was Dog A Doughnut Seriously off brand tune that sounds more like something from Jan Hammer's Rock-it phase than a Cat Stevens tune. Sting - Soul Cake Folky tune with a little back woods groove to it. Wow, so hard to choose. I know I'm not supposed to pick my own song submission but it is the one I like the best. However, in keeping with the spirit of the thread my vote goes to... Editors - Sugar ------------- Thank you for supporting independently produced music |

In the interest of healthy eating this is a Single Course Meal. One vote only. Plus, there aren't that many videos to choose from.

I make an exception from the "no vote for what I already know" rule here. I know the "Was Dog a Doughnut" thing from long, long ago. I had totally forgotten about it, and also didn't remember at all that it's by Yusuf/C.S. But it's so wonderful, thanks for reminding me of it! Honorary mentions: Sting (also knew that one, Sting is great), Editors, Food is the Enemy (how true!) |

-Editors- Sugar.......never heard of this band...very interesting ..hypnotic...reminds me of Simple Minds meet Echo and the Bunnymen -Sting-Soul Cake....not one of my favorite things by him but I have always liked his style of singing and he is unique -James Brown-Mother Popcorn....grew up in the 60's hearing his songs on the radio ...never heard that one though...but it's full of fun

Yesterday I was in a more rocking mood and I could have voted for Editors, David Lee Roth or The Tubes - all three nice tracks. But two songs just grabbed me a bit more today: Mary Coughlan's Ice Cream Man (instantly familiar; or maybe I did hear it before?) and Tony Joe White's Polk Salad Annie. I'll go with the latter, first of all because I prefer salads over ice cream, and secondly this one has that inexplicable magic that makes a song work. ------------- The razamataz is a pain in the bum |

I've never heard Tony Joe White's Polk Salad Annie before this poll. I do know the song, sung by Elvis and Joe Dassin.

After reviewing all, the one that wins for me is Cristi's entry. Here is my snap review of it: Editors “Sugar”
Here we get some heaviness, I always like those kind of whangy guitars
and what a great voice! Dark, yet
sultry. Has a sense of despair in
it. Sort of an almost Middle Easter vibe
to the synths and guitars during the bridge.
Well produced. I like this one a lot, Cristi. ------------- "Into every rain, a little life must fall." ~Tom Rapp |

Glad you liked it, I found out about this band when they opened for The Cure a few years ago. Pleasantly surprised, been listening to them every now and then.

I'll allow myself on this occasion to inform those among you who haven't read my post in the team thread, that there is a new poll, this time it is about all kind of acoustic music, incl. less-known prog bands. You are most welcome to join us! |

You can vote your fave song, if you want. ------------- Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion. |

Nice to see that so many liked Tony Joe White and Polk Salad Annie.....I'm a fan of all those 60's tracks but then I grew up listening to them. My brother and I had all those 45's back then and played them on a portable RCA player. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

One, in this case. Ps But if you want to vote for The Mission you can do it twice! ------------- Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion. |
