Check the video (Whitey Johnson singing); lots of Memphis restaurants. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCWZYEEWMaI

speechpeach Total Posts: 236 Joined: 6/11/2004 Location: Dalton, GA	Re:Your preferred songs about food Tue, 08/11/09 7:36 PM (permalink) I was listening to Diana Krall sing about Frim Fram Sauce with shafassa on the side earlier today, and wondered what the sauce might actually look and taste like..... Peel Me a Grape Poke Salad Annie As much as I dislike catfish, there surely must be a song about the nasty bottom dwelling vile thing.

Sure, my favorite is by the Four Tops in the 70s after they left Motown, Catfish(Makes my Nature Rise) there are amny southern blues and RnB songs where catfish is the subject or mentioned in verse

You say tomato and I say to-mott-oh
You say potato and I say po-tatt-oh
So let's call the whole thing off
Cole Porter

On the Good Ship Lollipop---Surely Temple

Frim Fram is correct---thanks.

Potatoes are cheaper,
Tomatoes are cheaper
Now's the time to fall in love

Tea for Two---and two for tea
Me for you and you for me........

The Coffee Song-----they 've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil. ---a guy named Sinatra had this big hit.

Dinner for One Please James,
Madam will not be dinning

Dinner in a Diner
Nothing could be finer
Than to have your Ham and Eggs
In Carolina

Does the Bubblegum lose it's flavor on the
bedpost over night ???---Theresa Brewer-----
To hear it you must "Put another nickel in, in the nickel-o-dean"

Saw a "hot dog" stand
Heard a rubber band
Saw a needle that winked it's eye----------Dumbo

We'll dine on chicken and caviar
We'll tour the town
In a private car-----------------------------Pinocchio
