In my first installment of Songs About Food I am rocketing out of the gate with the songs of Shonen Knife. I searched for a band that might have more songs about food, but didn’t find another as prolific as  Shonen Knife. They were a 3 piece, all female band from Japan, that started  in the 80’s and continue today to make music. What wasn’t to love about these very cute Asian girls that ripped up the scene, with their 60’s inspired rock and roll, singing about all sorts of delicious topics, especially in the 90’s.

Below is a list of their food related songs. Please feel free to add any I might have forgotten. Oh, and check them out if you have never heard them before or if you haven’t listened in a while. They are sure to bring a smile to your face.
