Songs about Food and Sex

[hungryabbey]

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some songs that allude to sex and food/cooking, or use food/cooking as a metaphor for sex, or talk about food in romantic terms..

Something LIKE "Come on-a My House" by Rosemary Clooney, but not that one.. but thats the kind of thing I'm looking for.

Any thoughts?

Diana Krall's version of "Frim Fram Sauce" is oh, so sexy.....

"I like the candy...
I like the chocolate...
The ice cream is very good but...
I just love my lollipop."

Heard this on the radio this morning and had to share:
Will Downing's "Stuff That I Like"--it's a total kick!
I had to giggle at first listen, but shhhh, I rather like it...is it because I'm a food enthusiast?! ;)

Donovan Leitch's Mellow Yellow....electrical banana is bound to be the very next phase. quite rightly.

[Leonardo]

Very old bluegrass song called "Groundhog" where they are supposedly trapping and eating groundhogs :
"Yonder comes Sally with a snicker and a grin, groundhog grease all over her chin..."

[Veggo]

Like it.
Lay down Sally
E.C.

not subtle but hilarious!

[smartie]

Wet Dream by Kip Addotta - watch the Youtube video and laugh

[Kitchen Imp]

Not exactly what you're asking for, but a fun one:
"Music, Sex, and Cookies": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3E2w6E...

[Kagemusha]

Too bad about the copyright jitters. Here's the title of a first-rate collection I posted from:

Includes gems like:
"Sam the Hot Dog Man"
"My Stove's in Good Condition"
"Banana in Your Fruit Basket"
"Butcher Shop Blues"
"Meat Cuttin' Blues"
"Lollypop"

[windycity]

"Sex and Candy" - Marcy Playground
"Caramel" - Suzanne Vega

[hungryabbey]

[smartie]

There is also 'Hey Good Looking' what ya got cooking ..............

[rockandroller1]

How about that Blender song by Bonnie Raitt? That's a pretty good one.

Was looking at a recipe for pound cake this morning and realized there's one more from Van Halen:

[kimmer1850]

Z.Z. Top "Tube Steak Boogie."

[theferlyone]

I can't believe no one's mentioned "Cherry Pie" by Warrant yet...

[goodhealthgourmet]

i can't believe i forgot that one! nice.

while we're at it:
Custard Pie by Led Zeppelin
Pour Some Sugar on Me by Def Leppard
Sugar in my Bowl by Nina Simone
Peaches by Presidents of the USA
Candy Shop by 50 Cent

[goodhealthgourmet]

just thought of another one: "Jack & Diane" by John Cougar Mellencamp...

Suckin' on a chili dog outside the Tastee Freez,
Diane's sittin' on Jackie's lap, he's got his hands between her knees.

[onceadaylily]

Wow. I can't believe I didn't think of that! Kudos, ghg. Damn. Way too many of my childhood memories involve me in the backseat of an LTD screeching, "Tastee Freez! Tastee Freez!", inciting my (usually hostile) brothers into joining my lobby. That beautiful swirl cone icon. *sigh*

And growing up with that song, too. Well played, girl.

[goodhealthgourmet]

ha! well, it's in regular rotation on my playlist for the gym, so i hear it pretty often :)

[onceadaylily]

I guess the message there is to sublimate, and yet sublimate again. The music played in gyms does make the (treadmill) wheels go round.

[goodhealthgourmet]

oh no, i meant the playlist on my iPod - i'm a music nut, and i spend far too much time at the gym to leave the soundtrack up to them. the crap they pipe in would have me pulling a Van Gogh sooner rather than later...

[Tonality666]

"I Want a Hotdog for My Roll" by Butterbeans and Susie (1927)

[catspercapita]

This was the one I thought of. Can't get much more explicit than that.

[catspercapita]

Also, "Sugar" by Tommy James( not sure if it's him)
you remember that "bubble gum" song
Honey....sugar sugar....you are my candy girl....... so on & so on

[Wahooty]

"The Archies," although as far as I'm concerned, it's sung by Andy Kim.

[CocoDan]

Ruth Wallis', "Pizza", and "You've Got To Stay Out Of My Pantry Mister".
Oy,
CocoDan

[beevod]

That old Western standard by Gene Autry, "Touch My Porkchop."

[garlicvampire]

"Sex and Chocolate" by Urban Tapestry

[mariacarmen]

oh and of course, every song by Cibo Matto is about food, and presumably about sex:

http://www.lyricsmania.com/cibo_matto...

[smartie]

Fruitcakes - Jimmy Buffet - there's one verse about relationships

[lotormatic]

"In the Kitchen" by R. Kelly. Choice lyrics: "I'm a put you on the counter by the buttered rolls."

'Peaches and Cream" by Beck -- on _Midnite Vultures_, the same album as "Hollywood Freaks." (He mentions LA's Zankou Chicken in "Debra," also on that album.)

[pinkprimp]

How about "Milkshake" by Kelis....you didn't say it had to be a good song, right? :-p

[alanbarnes]

How 'bout "Ice Cream Man" by Tom Waits?
"Got a cherry popsicle, right on time
Big stick mama gonna blow your mind..."

[kattyeyes]

OK, how 'bout "Ice Cream Man" by Van Halen? ;)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2RKWJ...

"I'm your ice cream man, stop me when I'm passin' by.
See, now all my flavors are guaranteed to satisfy!"

[goodhealthgourmet]

A rapper by the name of Dru Down also did a song called "Ice Cream Man." The lyrics might offend some Hounds so instead of quoting here I'll leave it to you to Google if you're interested ;)

[Jetgirly]

Ooooh, there is also a "so bad you can't look away" video for a song called Ice Cream Truck by Cazwell (Wikipedia calls him "an American rapper and songwriter. His work focuses on gay and bisexual urban themes"). Not appropriate for children, workplaces, conservative viewers, etc. You've been warned.

[mamachef]

On my own, I could think of ONE, "Brown Sugar,", by the Stones. But then my husband got up, and I turned him onto this thread, and after one (1!) cup of strong coffee, he came up with:
Banana in your Fruitbasket - Bo Carter
Pecan Pie - The Golden Smog
Candy Shop - .50Cent
Peaches &Cream - 112
Sugar on my Tongue - Talking Heads
Breakfast in Bed - Loudon Wainwright
I Want Candy - Bow Wow Wow
And the inimitable Memphis Minnie (those old blues singers had it GOING ON, didn't they?)
Gonna Bake My Biscuits
You Stole My Cake
My Butcherman
Good Biscuits
Stealing my Pork Chops
I'm sure he'll come up with more, because this man is on a MISSION FROM god!
Yep, he did. "You Can Eat My Cherries, But You Can't Shake My Tree." (?) He doesn't know who wrote or performed it, but there you have it.

[goodhealthgourmet]

methinks your DH has his fruit mixed up. it's The Joker by Steve Miller Band, and the line is "You're the cutest thing that I ever did see; I really love your peaches, wanna shake your tree."

[eepi]

Other people have already posted the ones I was thinking of - even the more obscure ones.

I don't see this one posted yet
Naeng Myun
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5pI7O...

It's in Korean, but it's charming - about how a boy is as cold as cold noodle soup but the girl will still persist in expressing her love.

[Delucacheesemonger]

Tanita Tikkeram's 'Hot Pork Sandwiches'

[buttertart]

FINALLY another Tikaram fancier. That is a great song.

[onceadaylily]

Also, there are a few similar threads you could check out, Abbey.

My Kitchen Man. Sample lyrics:

When I eat his doughnuts
All I leave is the hole
Any time he wants to
Why, he can use my sugar bowl
Oh, his baloney's really worth a try
Never fails to satisfy
I can't do without my kitchen man

Bessie Smith's version:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSOYDm...

Or "Candy Shop," by 50 Cent.

[onceadaylily]

I'm unfamiliar with the song that you listed but don't want, and am too lazy to go to You Tube, so I'll just give you what popped into my head. There are a few we like that might fit the bill.

One particular one is Cornbread and Butterbeans: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xOxHy...

A few more that I can think of:
Angel food, Ani DiFranco
Alabama Song, The Doors
One Bourbon, One Scotch, John Lee Hooker
Marvalene's Kitchen, Malcom Holcombe (this may have been a cover
)I Want a little Sugar in My Bowl, Nina Simone
Ice Cream, Sarah Mclachlan
Baker Baker, Tori Amos (depressing one, though, and becomes very discordant toward the end)
Peaches, The Stranglers
Homegrown Tomatoes (I like the cover by Sexfist, but other artists are going to be easier to find)
Black Coffee (I like Ella's cover for this one . . . though she may have been the original artist, not sure)

Good luck.

ETA: I'm pretty sure Peaches is performed by The Stranglers, not The Strangers, and have corrected it.

[goodhealthgourmet]

Presidents of the USA also had a single called "Peaches" - it was one of their biggest hits.
