[red dog 1]

Cherry Pie (1954) by Marvin & Johnny

[Floyd R. Turbo]

1. Great

Green Gobs Of Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts

[red dog 1]

2. Artist?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

4. :

[red dog 1]

6. "Great, Green Gobs of Greasy, Grimy Gopher Guts"

sung to the tune of "The Old Gray Mare"

(It's a children's public domain playground song)

[Floyd R. Turbo]

10. Best sung around a campfire followed by

"I Found a Peanut"!

[Laffy Kat]

45. "Apple, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie"

Downright catchy. I always have to sing along and toss my head from side to side while I'm driving!

[NCjack]

3. "Bubbles in My Beer" recorded by Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys.

Probably the most important song, ever.

[Glorfindel]

5. Popcicles and Icicles by the Murmaids, 1963 (I was a mere infant, of course)

[red dog 1]

8. I remember that one

and, although I was young, I wasn't a mere infant.

[taterguy]

7. Eight Piece Box

Obviously

[red dog 1]

13. I went to her window, asked her what she got/Said the special today was the eight piece box/

You can eat some now, you can eat some later/You can warm 'em back up with your French fried potaters/

[Goonch]

9. Don McLean- American Pie

[red dog 1]

22. Outstanding song!

With some of the best lyrics ever written.

Don McLean still tours - He'll be at Berkeley's Freight & Salvage on Sat. August 19

11. Oh Honey

[Mrs. Overall]

12. Is alcohol a "food item?'

If yes, "Red Red Wine" by UB40

If no, "Yes, We Have No Bananas" by someone in the 1920s, I believe.

[red dog 1]

14. Alcohol can be a food item, if it's made from grapes (wine) or some other fruit

There's a great winery in Santa Cruz..(I think it's called Bargettos)...where they make dozens of different wines made from different fruits.
The tasting room there is truly memorable...best wine tasting I ever went to.

[red dog 1]

17. Actually, Bargetto's Santa Cruz Winery is in Soquel, CA.

Their fruit wine is sold under the title "Chaucers"

I guess they don't make that many different fruit wines anymore, like they did back in 1974 when some friends & I visited the tasting room.

"Chaucers Mead, Raspberry Mead, Raspberry, Blackberry, Pomegranate, and Apricot are produced from 100% pure fruit or honey without the addition of artificial flavors."
http://bargetto.com/our-story/our-wines/

Too bad they apparently don't make Pear wine anymore...(it was my favorite one), but Pomegranate wine sounds good to me.

[FSogol]

41. If alcohol isn't food, I've been doing something wrong.

[csziggy]

49. "Red Red Wine" by UB40

[Doreen]

64. That was originally written and recorded by Neil Diamond.

I like UB40's version the best though.

[mia]

15. A Taste of Honey

[FSogol]

40. Just like Honey

[mia]

16. Strawberries

[wryter2000]

18. Squib Cakes

[Tikki]

19. Not necessarily a favorite song, but one of my favorite bands "Beef Balogna"....FEAR

Tikki

[red dog 1]

23. Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band - Trout Mask Replica (1969 album) is up on You Tube..

...the entire album.

Captain Beefheart, aka Don Van Vliet, died in 2010 at age 69.

(Of course, this has nothing at all to do with Beef Balogna)

[Skittles]

20. Blueberry Hill

[Lebam in LA]

56. You win as far as I am concerned

Love this

Really great list here but this is it

[Skittles]

74. I love that song too

it is very calming

[MiltonBrown]

81. Only Elvis sold more records than Fats Domino during the 1950s, today he is mostly

forgotten. Pre-Beatles American music has been delegated to the 'oldies' circuit since the late 1960s but classic rock acts have never been labelled as such. A dirty shame IMO.

[Skittles]

82. I was lucky

my dad was a huge music fan, mostly country but he really loved, Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, Otis Redding, Fats Domino - along with the Beatles and Rolling Stones, so I got to hear a lot of great music

[TlalocW]

21. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes

I know I'm going to miss heeeeeeer
A tomato ate my sisteeeeeeeer

[/font]

Oh I wish I were an Oscar Meyer wiener

...

[/font]

[WePurrsevere]

32. Other than a few already mentioned... Java Jive - Manhattan Transfer

Summer Wine sung by Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood would be up there too but mostly because a few years ago DH & I made a very kick butt but very tasty wine and mead inspired by the ingredients in the chorus. I was hoping to make another batch this year but Dandelion season this year was short and very rainy so I couldn't rally my young helpers.

[VMA131Marine]

&list=RDx1Cvg5VCpT4

He'll never amount to anything.

This is the wax cylinder remake of the tin foil original.

My Favorite Spinal Tap songs are:
- "Gimme Some Money",
and
- "Big Bottom"
Big bottom.
Big bottom,
Talk about bum cakes,
My gal's got 'em,
Big bottom drives me out of my mind
How can I leave this behind?

[jmowreader]

123. They cut it as the Thamesmen

[Tikki]

96. "Cherry Bomb"....the Runaways

Tikki

[apkhgp]

107. This song has my vote n/t

[red dog 1]

110. I love The Runaways

In the 2010 movie about them (The Runaways), Dakota Fanning plays Cherie Currie and sings "Cherry Bomb" in her own voice.
Fanning looks a lot like Currie.
I definitely want to see this movie
(Directed by Floria Sigismondi....Kristen Stewart plays Joan Jett)

[Tikki]

111. I saw the movie..I believe I rented it

on Amazon..actually better than most of these music-bio-type movies.
The movie was well cast.

And one of the non-Runaways characters in the movie has my exact real name..kind of cool.

97. MISO SOUP

[IcyPeas]

98. Christine the Strawberry Girl (Banana Split Lady) - Siouxsie and the Banshees

[IcyPeas]

99. Cherry Coloured Funk - Cocteau Twins

[betsuni]

100. Bread and Gravy

[Zen Democrat]

101. Tangerine - Led Zeppelin

[Miles Archer]

102. Dave Van Ronk, "One Meatball"

I was born too late to experience the "folk phenomenon," so I discovered this one long after it was released.

It's clear that Jefferson Airplane / Hot Tuna's Jorma Kaukonen heard some DVR along the way.

Captain Beefheart also tapped into this vibe.

Weird little song. Sticks to you like a tick while walking through the woods. Loved it when I first heard it, love it now.

[red dog 1]

113. I'm a huge fan of Dave Van Ronk

but my favorite version of One Meat Ball is by Josh White (On his "Josh at Midnight" album)

I'm not sure if this one is by Josh White or not

[JDC]

103. Chili Dog outside the Tastee Freeze - Jack and Diane

John Cougar Mellencamp song about an interacial couple, although record companies couldn't get past it then and squashed the concept.

[catbyte]

116. Serious drugs must've been involved: " Fish Heads " 80's MTV video by Barnes & Barnes

[red dog 1]

117. Eggs and Sausage - Tom Waits

[red dog 1]

118. Quiche Lorraine - The B-52s

The B-52s are scheduled to play at a winery in Saratoga, CA on Friday Aug. 11
This should be a great concert!
Because it's such a small venue, (and not an arena or someplace large), all the seats are likely to be fairly close to the stage.

Coincidentally, Willie Nelson is playing at another Saratoga, CA winery 4 days later, on Aug. 15

If someone could afford to stay near Saratoga, CA for 4 or 5 days next month, they could go to
two great concerts- each one at a small venue with all seats close to the stage.

[red dog 1]

119. Sixteen Saltines - Jack White
