| | Why not?! Everything that we can eat OR DRINK is fair game. MonkeyMay, Weill is one of my favorite composers of songs!
Isa: well, some people are sqeamish about eating birds. Why NOT "omelette?" |

| | I know too many beer and alcohol songs...I am new, don't want to give the wrong impression
But we had an old record called "Vegetable Love"...can't remember who sang it, off hand, but it went...
Don't you CARROT all for me,
My heart BEETS for you,
PEAS tell me you love me,
Don't SQUASH my heart in two.
It went on and on, it was an old 33...remember those?!?!
Ok, just one more...
"There's a tear in my beer, 'cause I'm cryin' for you dear..." |

| | oh, give the wrong impression, it makes you more fun anyway...
"well my bucket's got a hole in it - I cain't get no beer" - Hank Williams
Yes I do remember 33's cause I've got some 78's...
Anybody that can sing a song about Vegetable Love I'll drink with any day!

Ok...
"Well I got friends in low places, where the whiskey runs and the beer chases the blues away...
And it'll be ok...."
Not in the song title, but worth mentioning!
The sad thing about "Vegetable Love" is that as I type, I am actually singing it...thankfully this is for reading and not for hearing!
(I decorate cakes better than I sing...At least I only get paid for the cakes anyway!) |

| | Darling, I don't know about you -
But I'm very immature for my age...
I've always wanted a wind up Victrola like Sadie Thompson in Rain, complete
with a bottle of bourbon and a stack of Bessie Smith records...
My idea of a good time...

| | | People often think I'm younger than I am. When they compliment me on my youthful appearance, I reply,
"Thanks, but you might be confusing immaturity with youthfulness."
Monkeymay, feel free to use that line whenever you like. Break open that bottle of bourbon and let's toast to all the twelve year olds in middle-aged bodies!
"One Bourbon, One Scotch and One Beer", George Thorogood & The Destroyers
"Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar)", The Doors
And something by Janis Joplin that I can't quite recall. |

| | The Big Frank I am amazed that nobody has come up with Frank Zappas' contributions to food songs. How about "Call Any Vegetable". Or his LPs "Burnt Weenie Sandwich" and the immortal "Lumpy Gravy".....The list is long.
