Two Triple Cheese, Side Order Of Fries...by Commander Cody...circa early 1970's...

This was an early one featuring Bill Kirchen, and was also a very early music video filmed at the Grand Lake Drive In (next to the opulant Grand Lake Theater, next to Lake Merrit in downtown Oakland, CA)...I think the video was released by Blind Pig Records...(???)

Also released on an lp (you know, those flat pieces of black plastic with grooves that went around and around)

"Weird Al" Yankovic has a whole compilation CD of his food song parodies:

1. Fat (parody of Michael Jackson's "Bad")

2. Lasagna (parody of Ritchie Valens' "La Bamba")

3. Addicted to Spuds (parody of Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love)

4. I Love Rocky Road (parody of Joan Jett's "I Love Rock 'N' Roll")

5. Spam (parody of REM's "Stand")

6. Eat It (parody of Michael Jackson's "Beat It")

7. The White Stuff (Parody of New Kids on the Block's "The Right Stuff")

8. My Bologna (Parody of the Knack's "My Sharona")

9. Taco Grande (Parody of Gerardo's "Rico Suave")

10. The Rye or the Kaiser (Parody of Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger")

All classic Weird Al.

And who can forget Butterbeans and Susie's classic "I Wanna Hot Dog For My Roll." Never got tired of that one on Dr. Demento.

Cheeseburger in Paradise, Jimmy Buffet
Stealing Watermelons, Elvin Bishop
RC Cola and a Moonpie, NRBQ
Homegrown Tomatoes, Guy Clark

Here ya go sk bob; Luv this song!

Ain't nothin' in the world that I like better
Than bacon & lettuce & homegrown tomatoes
Up in the mornin' out in the garden

Get you a ripe one don't get a hard one
Plant `em in the spring eat `em in the summer
All winter with out `em's a culinary bummer
I forget all about the sweatin' & diggin'
Everytime I go out & pick me a big one

Homegrown tomatoes homegrown tomatoes
What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes
Only two things that money can't buy
That's true love & homegrown tomatoes

You can go out to eat & that's for sure
But it's nothin' a homegrown tomato won't cure
Put `em in a salad, put `em in a stew
You can make your very own tomato juice
Eat `em with eggs, eat `em with gravy
Eat `em with beans, pinto or navy
Put `em on the site put `em in the middle
Put a homegrown tomato on a hotcake griddle

If I's to change this life I lead
I'd be Johnny Tomato Seed
`Cause I know what this country needs
Homegrown tomatoes in every yard you see
When I die don't bury me
In a box in a cemetary
Out in the garden would be much better
I could be pushin' up homegrown tomatoes
