I have somehow managed to compile a list of the top ten food songs of all times. All these pieces are definitely a lot more than just songs with. I am sure you will fall in for the metaphorical references that have associated food with the nostalgias of life. So, here are the top ten food songs list has then covering all from the Beatles' childhood-referenced 'Strawberry Fields Forever to the sexual fantasy 'Custard Pie'.

The Top Ten Food Songs 

1. 'Savoy Truffle' - The Beatles

George Harrison went on to pen down this song about his friend Eric Clapton's fascination with chocolates. And he actually that life is like a box of chocolates through this song. The lyrics and foodie title of the song arrived directly from the box of Mackintosh's Good News collection of chocolate. This has to be on this list. 

2. 'Cheeseburger in Paradise' - Jimmy Buffett

The song describes the true story. Jimmy Buffett was actually eating some canned foods along with peanut butter and dreamt of cheeseburger, while  wrote this song. And his dream came true when he arrived in "paradise" (a.k.a. the Caribbean), as Buffett got burnt cheeseburger. 

3. 'Brown Sugar' - The Rolling Stones

Although, the title sounds very sweet, the lyrical-meanings of the song draw various controversial issues like interracial sex, slave rape, and oral sex. So, this infamous song of Rolling Stones is really not as sweet as the name 'Brown Sugar' suggests. You must listen to the song to get the deeper meaning. 

4. 'Banana Pancakes' - Jack Johnson

I am in love with this lyrics, "Maybe we can sleep in / I'll make you banana pancakes / Pretend like it's the weekend now." This is a very silly love song that Johnson used to play for his wife whenever he needs her attention. What is sillier than Johnson later wrote the song and recorded it for all his fans. This is my personal favorite is perfect for playing during breakfast. 

5. 'Pork And Beans' by Weezer

Released in the year 2008, this food-titled song “Pork and Beans” is a humorous allusion to the popular cultures. Rivers Cuomo, the Lead singer and guitarist, was motivated to write the song after music company executive requested told him to go commercial. The song was the most successful number on the charts in over 16 years for the band. It also helped the band to revert to their conventional power pop sound. 

6. 'Cherry Pie' - Warrant

The song Cheey Pie was writing within 15 minutes of time. The sound very similar to the Def Leppard's 'Pour Some Sugar on Me. Although, the member  the song, the band ‘Warrant’ actually got popular after this cute song. However, the ‘cheery pie’ here is littered with various sexual references.  

7. 'Peaches' - Presidents of the USA

'Peaches' was one of the most successful songs in self-titled debut. It also received nomination for a Grammy Award in 1996. Although, the lyrical meaning is often referred to sexual innuednos, the lead singer Chris Ballew claims that the song is written for a girl he loved. 

8. 'Custard Pie' - Led Zeppelin

You must have noticed that till now all the songs in the list have associated food title and lyrics with sex. Well, here is one more to add on! Led Zeppelin's “'Custard Pie the Chewin' a piece of your custard pie” is another example of food’s association with sex in a song.

9. 'Strawberry Fields Forever' - The Beatles

A depiction of John Lennon's nostalgic childhood is 'Strawberry Fields Forever.' However, the song is quite different from the title. It is basic Salvation Army house right next to where Lennon grew up in Liverpool, England. This is in the memory of a Strawberry Fields memorial resides in Central Park in New York City. 

10. 'Sweet Potato Pie' - James Taylor

Released in the year 2004, James Taylor came up with a duet version of 'Sweet Potato Pie' with Ray Charles.  The song was actually requested by the late singer. You can easily this duet on 'Genius Loves Company,' the Ray Charles’s popular album. 

These top ten food songs is totally as per personal preferences, and I am sure that there are many more food songs left for us to explore. Do comment in to remind me about your personal favorites, whether it is on this list or not.
