Weekend Cooking: Hungry Music

•
I have at least four cookbooks out from the library at the moment, plus a backlog of other ideas that I want to post for Weekend Cooking at some point, but instead, this week, I bring you 'hungry' music! I am not even sure what prompted this, but it never hurts to have an excuse to play some 80's classics (and some bonus Patrick Swayze!).









Just don't look too closely at the woman playing doing the sax solo towards the end! I also really like Make Me Lose Control which could be symbolic of my relationship with food, but I couldn't possibly include that because of the shocking 80's hair in the video. My one thing I have learned for today (so far) is that Eric Carmen sang All By Myself too.







It's probably a bit harsh to exclude an Eric Carmen song on the basis of his 80's hair and then include a Duran Duran song! Oh well.






I think my favourite Springsteen song is Glory Days, but this is right up there for me! And no, no comment on his hair, but having said that this does look like a video clip that was made a long time after the song was originally released!

Can anyone think of any other hungry songs?

      Only as much as it dates me to post them in the first place!

    Thanks so much for the great music this morning. I'm going to be rocking out to Clapton all morning now! Love these hungry tunes. You've got me craving a rewatch of Dirty Dancing!

    What a great idea for a Weekend Cooking post! And, like Beth, I might need to watch Dirty Dancing now.

    haha, what a fun idea for a post! Dirty Dancing was on TV a couple months ago and watched it for the first time in ages.

      I haven't actually watched it for ages, but I just need to see a clip to get me into the Dirty Dancing mindspace - which is a good place to be!

      It is, isn't it! It is kind of a forgotten classic though.

    Cool idea for a post!! I LOVE Bruce Springsteen(!)

    It doesn't have the word hungry in it, but there is that song, "I love Candy."

      Oh, that's a good one! I did a post about food songs months ago but didn't think of that one!

    Oh, yes, the 80s, my favourite time music wise (not hairdo and fashion though). Mostly it is better to listen that to watch the video clips, :). Great post!

      Yes, audio rather than visual is possibly best.

    Couldn’t get the first two videos to work from here but I found them on You Tube ok. Great idea for a post. How about that line from ‘Unchained Melody’?

    I can't think of hungry songs but All By Myself is the reason I bought Eric Carmen's album, eons ago. 80s hair was really something, wasn't it? LOL

    I don't know who I thought did sing it, but it wasn't him!
