Top Songs About Food for Your Thanksgiving Playlist

This week on Song Swap Showdown, Chris and Rachel dive fork-first into a playlist packed with flavor, nostalgia, and a few unexpected cravings. From sensual strawberries to breakfast-table metaphors to full-blown candy-coated alt-rock, this episode proves that food songs are way more than novelty tracks — they’re stories, vibes, and sometimes straight-up weird little masterpieces.

Rachel brings the sweet and the strange with: 

 “Cornflake Girl” – Tori Amos (surreal, emotional, iconic)
 “Sex and Candy” – Marcy Playground (90s slacker cool with sugar on top)
 “Watermelon Sugar” – Harry Styles (sun-kissed modern pop bliss)

Meanwhile, Chris rolls in like it’s an all-you-can-eat buffet with picks loaded with attitude:

“I Like Food” – The Descendents (fast, loud, pure punk appetite)
“Hungry” – White Lion (80s power-ballad hunger in every sense)
“Apples, Peaches, Bananas and Pears” – The Monkees (a throwback fruit salad of pure fun)

From grunge to glam, punk to pop, and breakfast cereal to tropical fruit, this showdown serves up big flavor, bigger nostalgia, and plenty of laughs. Grab a snack — you’re gonna want one.
