On That Note: Appetite For Music

[cyclones500]

For this segment, we’ll explore songs with lyrics/title that reference SPECIFIC names of establishments that provide food as a primary or significant offering, including these categories of convenience store, restaurant, bar&grill and grocery store.

We DO NOT ACCEPT generic references to those terms. So, something like “I went to the restaurant” wouldn’t count.

It must involve a real-life establishment, not fictional. (Defunct eateries are fair game).

OTN is presented each week on Cyclone Fanatic by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500.

This is probably the most challenging. Love it.

We had a little time, we were real hungry
We went to Dairy Queen for something to eat
She had some onion rings she had a pickle
She forgot to tell me that she didn't eat meat

“Takin' care of business at 7-Eleven.”

I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of SoHo in the rain
He was looking for the place called Lee Ho Fook's
Gonna get a big dish of beef chow mein

(Yes, it's a real place)

Double it up with:

I saw a werewolf drinkin' a piña colada at Trader Vic's
And his hair was perfect

We had a little time, we were real hungry
We went to Dairy Queen for something to eat
She had some onion rings she had a pickle
She forgot to tell me that she didn't eat meat

New one on me. That's very cool. Thanks

As I think about the past
And all the fun we've had
We'd eat at Denny's after three
Watch the werewolf on TV

 

[ozone]

The other night I was
Walking down the street
I was getting kinda hungry
I decided to get me something to eat

Now I passed up all the chain
Franchise joints on Hamburger Row
And stopped at a little greasy spoon place
I always eat at called Eat, Sit and Gulp

 

[MeadForMyHorses]

I suppose Kum & Go With Me by The Del-Vikings and Kum & Go Blues by the Allman Brothers are out of the question.

 

[Kinch]

Not a song, but one of my favorite albums covers. Head East, Flat as a Pancake. Restaurant was Rite-Way-Diner and still in business seven years ago.St. Louis.

Not sure if such a place by this name existed when the song was written but it surely inspired some restaurants to be named this after it became a big hit in the 80's

"Tonight I'm gonna meet her at the Hungry House Cafe"

Applebee's
