Oh, how I love this song. Not only did my most favorite singing in the
whole world dearly love to sing it, but it is a wonderful reminder of
all those home grown tomatoes my Dad used to grow. The singer who sang
this song with such gusto---John Denver. He often used this song to
showcase his band. Each member of the band had a featured part.

I tried this thread on the Beatles NG a few weeks back. We had a couple
there. Beausoleil does a good song about coffee. Weird Al Yankovic does a
couple of song parodies such as "My Lasagna" and "Eat It". 60's rockabilly
great Ronnie Dawson, now back on the road and making good music, does a
whole lot of food songs.

That would be "My Bologna" wouldn't it (a parody of My Sharona).

which has actually been used on a recent NPR segment about overeating in
America, is "Taco Grande" which is a parody of "Rico Suave".

You're right. In fact, Al has done so many songs about food over the
years that his record company put out a collection called "'Weird Al'
Yankovic - The Food Album" containing:
"Fat" (parody of "Bad" by Michael Jackson)
"Lasagna" (parody of "La Bamba")
"Addicted To Spuds" (parody of "Addicted to Love" by Robert Palmer)
"I Love Rocky Road" (parody of "I Love Rock And Roll" by Joan Jett)
"Spam" (parody of "Stand" by REM)
"Eat It" (parody of "Beat It" by Michael Jackson)
"The White Stuff" (parody of "The Right Stuff" by New Kids On The Block)
"My Bologna" (parody of "My Sharona" by The Knack)
"Taco Grande" (parody of "Rico Suave" by Gerardo)
"The Rye Or The Kaiser" (parody of "The Eye Of The Tiger" by Survivor)
After this collection came out, Al realized that he should perhaps avoid
the topic of food for awhile, although he revisits it occasionally. His
new album, "Running With Scissors," contains "Grapefruit Diet," a parody
of "Zoot Suit Riot" by Cherry Poppin' Daddies.

For chops and pies and jellies we substitute sow bellies
For which we work the county road each day
Oh those beans, bacon and gravy, they almost drive me crazy
I eat them till I see them in my dreams
When I wake up in the morning and another day is dawning
Then I know I'll get another mess of beans
and the Soup song (tune 'My Bonnie')
I'm spending my nights in the flophouse
I'm spending my days in the street
I'm looking for work but I find none
I wish I had something to eat

Greg Brown used to do food songs on Prairie Home Companion.
One of this I particularly liked was "Slow Food".

Seeing this reminded me of my favorite newer 'food' song --
"Fast Food" by Richard Thompson.

"an old song of praise" ["ein alter Lobegesang"], but I have never seen it
anywhere else. The tune is "O Tannenbaum."
O Sauerkraut, o Sauerkraut, Du herrliches Gemuese,
Man isst dich auch zur Sommerzeit,
Doch mehr im Winter, wenn es schneit.
O Sauerkraut, o Sauerkraut, Du herrliches Gemuese!
In Gladbeck hier im Muensterland,
Da bist Du wie zu Hause;
Ob Weihnacht, Pfingsten, ob Neujahr,
Dein n Duft verspuert man immerdar.
O Sauerkraut, o sauerkraut, Du herrliches Gemuese!
Ein jeder Mann, ob arm ob reich,
Will sich an Dich erquicken;

O sauerkraut, o sauerkraut, you wonderful vegetable,
One eats you also to the summer time,
But more in the winter, if it snows.
O sauerkraut, o sauerkraut, you wonderful vegetable!

In Gladbeck here in the cathedral country,
There you are like at home;
Whether Weihnacht, Whitsuntide, whether New Year,
Your n one always feels smell.
O sauerkraut, o sauerkraut, you wonderful vegetable!

Each man whether poor whether rich,
Wants to refresh itself to you;
One schlept you home and makes you
In tons, barrels, Kuebelien.
O sauerkraut, o sauerkraut, you wonderful vegetable!
Interesting that, according to alta vista, "schlept" is now officially
English. A comfort to you all as you schlep your instruments fromm gig
to gig.

Maybe I missed it, but my favourite Greg Brown food song is "Canned Goods"
("The canned goods you buy at the store/Ain't got the summer in 'em any
more")
In 1950/1 I had a 78 of Tex Ritter singing "Big Rock Candy Mountain" when I
was 7/8 years old. I couldn't get enough of it's fantasy and played it
over and over. It was a delight for me but probably drove my parents crazy.
(A little later Tex Ritter went on to immortality when he sang the theme for
"High Noon". Of course, no one remembers that it was he who sang it!)
It was 40 years before I heard it again about a decade ago when I heard Tom
Chapin (Harry's brother) sing it on a radio broadcast of a children's
concert. Whether Tom has it on an album of his, I cannot say. But for me
the fantasy of this song lives on and is still a tremendous delight.

being that this is a folk newsgroup... i can only assume you were
looking for folk music about food or eating, but...
cibo matto's "viva! la woman" is ALL about food... it is a hip(or
trip)-hop japanese woman duo...
