Songs About Food: The Flaming Lips

"... she'll make you breakfast, she'll make you toast but she don't use butter, she don't use cheese, she don't use jelly or any of these ..."

The 90s were a great decade for music for a number of reasons, not least of which was that bands wrote novelty songs that were actually funny without being completely stupid. Need examples? OK, here are three: Gary Young's "Plantman," Tripping Daisy's "I Got A Girl," and, of course, this week's entry, The Flaming Lips' "She Don't Use Jelly." Sure, they were silly, but there were real songs behind the smirks - just watch this amazing piano/vocal rendition of "Jelly" for proof of that. Plus, who can argue with a song about toast, tangerines, and Cher?!? [[justin]]
