This article is the third one in my Munch n Music series. The focus of the first article started out with popcorn and other munchies, and took a side trip to main and side dishes. The focus of the second article was primarily about fruits and desserts, with a revisit to more substantial edibles. This article pertains to ingestibles—alcohol and tobacco. Ingestible isn't listed as a noun like consumable is, but the root meaning of to ingest seems more appropriate than that of to consume.

Alcohol

• Lazy Hazy Crazy Days of Summer
• Beer
• Beer Barrel Polka—Chico Marx, Liberace
• Brandy
• Scotch and Soda
• Pina Colada
• Kisses Sweeter Than Wine
• Bottle of Wine (45rpm disc on 33rpm)
• Red Red Wine
• Sweet Cherry Wine
• Days of Wine and Roses

Tobacco

• Benson & Hedges
• Michael Jackson (Billie Jean footage) & Benson & Hedges
• Benson & Hedges 1987 Animation
• Cigarette Commercial late 1960's Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore (Lighting up Kents)
• Tobacco Road
• Smoke Gets in Your Eyes—Platters' record, Fred & Ginger dancing to band performance
• One Toke Over the Line—Brewer & Shipley, "Gale & Dale" on Lawrence Welk Show
• Smoker Face - Lady Gaga Parody (Blink, and you miss Fred, Barney, and Goofy puffing.)

Not wishing to wander too deeply into dangerous territory, I now close without providing links to Doobie Brothers music, the don't Bogart that joint song, and Purple Haze. You're on your own.

Sweet tooth? You've come to the right place for video links of music and sweet stuff. Last month, I wrote about munchies and music. OK, so some of the links pertained to main courses. During my lookups at that time, I ran across more than I wanted to put into one article. This time, I'm listing sweet edibles, in time for Independence Day. Also adding more edibles here rather than in last month's article.

Fruity and tutti frutti

• Apple Blossom Time
• Orange Blossom Special
• Lemon Tree
• Who's in the Strawberry Patch with Sally
• I Heard it Through the Grapevine
• Watermelon Man
• Pineapple Princess
• Yes We Have No Bananas
• Cherry Hill Park
• Cherry Cherry
• Cherry Pie

I must say, the only thing I think sounds sweet about tutti frutti is the phonetic fruity term. It gives me an excuse to paste a link to Little Richard's Tutti Frutti.

Non-fruity sweet stuff

• If I Knew You Were Comin' I'd've Baked a Cake
• MacArthur Park
• Jurassic Park
• Candy (Manhattan Transfer in formal wear)
• Candyman, Christina Aguilera
• Candy Man, Sammy Davis Jr.
• Candy Man, Roy Orbison
• Lollipop (Dig those over-the-elbow gloves that the Chordettes wore.)
• Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbows
• Lollipops and Roses
• My Boy Lollipop
• Sugartime (Perry Como mixing it up with the McGuire Sisters)
• Sugar Sugar
• Honey Honey
• Taste of Honey
• Honey Don't
• Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Huneybunch)
• The Way You Do the Things You Do (quick reference to honey)
• Lollipop (Candyman)

Was in the mood for writing about two of my favorite topics, both rolled into one. My thoughts started out with wanting to pop some popcorn with my quite-old air popper. During the course of popping, melting butter, and mixing the butter and salt into the popped kernels into a large kettle, I thought about having read kernel popping action. I read that the kernel turns inside out. So I decided to look up some youtube videos. Eureka!

• Brainiac Science Abuse - Popcorn Popping In Slow Motion (This video shows someone popping popcorn on a stove top.)
• High speed video of popcorn kernel popping at 5,400 fps
• Pop corn in slow motion

I thought about a song titled "Popcorn" and found a video, which is actually the moog music set to video. Gershon Kingsley wrote in about 30 seconds, according to background info on him. A song that sounds very similar to Popcorn is Percolator.

• Peanuts (theme)
• Peanuts (do-wop)
• Peanut Vendor (Beatles)
• Take Me Out to the Ball Game
• Palisades Park
• Java (Al Hirt)
• You're the Cream in My Coffee

I found more substantial consumables as follows. Of course, themes about music and food must include Weird Al. I did sandwich some of his videos with other food-term songs. Some of these videos are trips down memory lane. Click and get down!

• Eat It
• Chicken Dance Song
• Funky Chicken
• Turkey Trot
• On Top of Spaghetti
• Annoying Orange: Lady Pasta Song
• Rye or the Kaiser
• Bread and Butter
• Turn the Tub Around (I Can't Believe It's Butter/Turn the Beat Around)
• My Bologna
• Famous Alka-Seltzer "No Matter What Shape" TV Commercial - from 1966!
