A good title complements a song, they said, but what about a song with food or drink in its title? Have you ever noticed that a song that’s humming in your ears at the moment mentions a food or drink in the title? How many are there, you ask? Apparently, there are a lot of them. So, what's with all these food and drink related songs? What are the stories behind these titles? What does the title mean? Does the title relate to the lyrics? What makes an artist came up with a thought "Uh, Quiche Lorraine sounds cool, why not create a song about it?" (little did I know, it’s actually a song about a pooch and has nothing to do with a certain classic French egg dish), or even with the craziest title you wouldn’t ever think of before, like this one, “The Half-Eaten Sausage Would Like to See You in His Office”? Who would ever think a song with such title really exists? Well, these might be some questions that cross our minds when we find one. All I can think of is that food, drink and music go really well together. Anyway, what’s not to like about food and drink?

What I’m trying to do here is to compile these food and drink related songs into a list. You might as well google them, there are tons of them all over the web but I'm thinking to put them in one list altogether. It doesn't matter if the songs are really about food and drink or just plain have them in the title. I'm not going to give additional note on each of the song either; I'm just trying to keep it simple. Please bear with me, it's going to be a very long, ever-growing list; and if you have a favorite food and drink related song that isn't covered here, please share it in the comments. So, without further ado, here is the list:
