Last night at le Chateau, [profile] evilfb, [profile] funkyplaid, & I invented a new game. Take any song title that has the word “love” in it. Replace “love” with “lunch”. Now, rewrite the song lyrics appropriately.

If you think of any good ones, please post them in a comment here. If you post this meme in your own LJ, include a link back here so all the songs will accumulate in one place.

"Tainted Lunch", by Soft Cell

Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away
I've got to
Get away
From the pain that you drive into the gut of me
The lunch we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my appetite
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night

Gopher, Fetch Me A Sammich!

Lunch, exciting and new
Come Aboard. We're expecting you.
Lunch, life's sweetest reward.
Let it flow, it floats back to you.

Lunch Boat soon will be making another run
The Lunch Boat promises something for everyone
Set a course for adventure,
Your mind on a new romance.

Lunch won't hurt anymore
It's an open smile on a friendly shore.
Yes LUUUUUUUUUUUUNCH! It's LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNCH! (hey-ah!)

Lunch Bites

If you've got lunch in your sights
Watch out, lunch bites

When you make lunch, do you look in the mirror?
Who do you think of, does it look like meat?
Do you tell lies and say that it's healthy?
Do you think twice, or just munch 'n' see?
Ooh babe ooh yeah

When you're alone, do you let go?
Are you wild 'n' willin' or is it just for show?
Ooh c'mon

I don't wanna eat it too much baby
'Cos eating lunch with you might drive me crazy
I know you think that lunch is the way you make it
So I don't wanna be there when you decide to bake it
No!

Lunch bites, Lunch bleeds
It's bringin' me to my knees
Lunch lives, lunch dies
It's no surprise
Lunch bags, lunch feeds
It's what I need

When I'm with you are you somewhere else?
Am I gettin' thru or do you please yourself?
When you wake up will you walk out?
It can't be lunch if you throw it out
Ooh babe

I don't wanna munch it too much baby
'Cos eating lunch with you might drive me crazy

[Repeat Chorus]

[guitar solo]

Ooh yeah

[Repeat Bridge]

Lunch bites, lunch bleeds
It's bringin' me to my knees
Lunch lives, lunch dies

[Repeat Chorus]

If you've got lunch in your sights
Watch out, lunch bites
Yes it does
It will be hell

"You Give Lunch a Bad Name", by Bon Jovi

Turkey on rye is what you sell
You promise me heaven, then put me through hell
Chains of lunch got a hold on me
From the lunchroom in prison, you can’t break free

It's a turkey club
It's a terrible sub
No one can save me
From this horrible grub!

Chorus:
Shot through the heart
And you’re to blame
You give lunch a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give lunch a bad name
You give lunch a bad name

There'll be moods, for odd foods,
Like a banana wrapped in lean roast beef
Macaroons made from prunes
Or chocolate pudding wrapped in a fig leaf

But when you think I've had enough of this bizarre stuff
I'll take more than another big plateful
Oh, and I'll make a roast pork flan
Just because I can!

Chorus:
Strangelunch
Strange ryes and strange rolls
Strangelunch
That's how my lunch goes
Strangelunch
Will you feed it to me?
Will you take the grain,
Turn it into rue,
Again and again
And try not to burn it?

Forgot the Title

Elephant Lunch Song Medley?

Date: 2005-03-28 11:39 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] sasscat.livejournal.com
It's the tragic tale of one hardened courtesan refusing to share her lunch with a starving man.


(Ewan McGregor)
Lunch is a many splendoured thing
Lunch lifts us up where we belong
All you need is lunch!

(Nicole Kidman, and anyone who has heard me sing this before...over...and over...and over...)
Please, don't start that again...

All I need is lunch
A girl has got to eat
All I need is lunch
You're asking for my meat!
All I need is lunch...

Lunch is just a meal...
I was made for sandwiches, baby,
you were made for cottage cheese
The only way of getting them, baby
is to pay a lunching fee.


Just one meal, give me just one meal
There's no way cause you can't pay
In the name of lunch, one meal in the name of lunch
You crazy fool, I won't give into you

Don't...leave me this way
I can't survive without your sweet lunch, oh baby, don't leave me this way

You'd think that people would have heard enough of silly lunch songs
I look around me and I see it isn't so, oh no
Some people wanna fill the world with silly lunch songs
Well what's wrong with that, I'd like to know

'Cause here I go...again...

Lunch lifts us up where we belong!
where eagles fly on a mountain high!
Lunch makes us act like we are fools
throw our lives away for one Happy Meal (TM) day


We could be heroes
just for one day

You, you will be full (no I won't)
and I, I'll be short of food

we should eat lunch now
we can't do that
we should eat lunch now
and that's a fact

Nothing will keep you from starving
we could try it, just for one meal
we could be heroes forever and ever
we could be heroes forever and ever
we can be heroes
just because I...........eii will always want lunch...
I... can't help feeding you...
How wonderful life is now food's in the world...

I Would Do Anything for Lunch --Meatloaf

Date: 2005-03-28 11:56 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] sasscat.livejournal.com
See, I mis-googled the lyrics and discovered I was beaten to it:

"I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)" Based on the performance by Meatloaf
"I'd Do Anything for Lunch (But I Won't Chew That)" Parody by Jeremy Otto

And I would do anything for lunch, whether it be baked or fried in fat
And I would chew anything for brunch, I don't care if my tummy isn't flat

But I'll never forget the way you burned that souffle, oh no, no way
And I would do anything for lunch, but I won't chew that, I won't chew that
Anything for lunch, oh I would chew anything for lunch
I would chew anything for lunch, but I won't chew that, no I won't chew that

Some days I don't eat chickpeas, and some days I won't eat slaw
Some days I don't eat at all, and these are the days that never end
Some nights you're cooking chicken, and some nights you're frying rice
Some meals are like nothing I've ever seen before or will again

Maybe I'm hungry, my tummy's rumbling it is true
I know you may crave meat, I know that you've been craving veggies too

As long as the eggs are boiling, as long as the shrimp is broiling
Until I learn to cook meals for myself, you better believe it

That I would do anything for lunch, I'd settle for fries or a Big Mac
And I would do anything for brunch, like Ozzy I'd even eat a bat

But I'd never forgive myself if I didn't get dessert tonight
And I would do anything for lunch, oh I would do anything for lunch
Oh I would do anything for lunch, but I won't chew that, no I won't chew that

I would do anything for lunch, anything you've been cooking up,
But I just won't chew that
(repeat 3x)

Some days I crave for donuts, and some days I crave for ham
Some days just crave for smoked salmon but I'd settle for some spam
Some nights I lose my appetite, some nights I need Peptobismol
Some nights I just lose my lunch from one too many dinner rolls

Maybe I'm not picky, that's something I could never be
But I don't eat asparagus, it always makes you have green pee

As long as the bread is baking, as long as the milkshakes are shaking
As long as I never catch the flu, you better believe it

That I would do anything for lunch, and there ain't no need to raise a fuss
And I would do anything for brunch, and I'd even tip you seven bucks

But I'd never come back here if you didn't make the coffee strong, not strong
And I would do anything for lunch, oh I would do anything for lunch
I would do anything for lunch, but I won't chew that, no no no I won't chew that

I would do anything for lunch, anything you've been thinking of,
But I just won't chew that
(repeat 7x)

But I'll never stop eating cashews every night of my life, no way
And I would do anything for lunch, oh I would do anything for lunch
I would do anything for lunch, but I won't chew that, no I won't chew that

[Waitress]: Will you tip me well, will you smile when you're through?
Can you use your napkin when you finish your stew?
Can you ignore the fact your burger is cold?

[Diner]: I can do that! I can do that!

[Waitress]: Will you be polite? Will you treat me right?
Can you never come here drunk again and try to start a fight?
Can you mind your table manners a little bit more?

[Diner]: I can do that! Oh oh, now I can do that!

[Waitress]: Will you tell me jokes that are politically correct?
If I spill beer on you, will you not get upset?
Will you apologize if you should ever belch?

[Diner]: I can do that! Oh oh, now I can do that!

[Waitress]: Will you eat all your cabbage and your rice and beans?
If I overcook the steak will you not be mean?
Will you be the best diner that I've ever known?

[Diner]: I can do that! Oh oh, now I can do that!

[Waitress]: After a while you'll forget my name's Mary
You'll be complaining to my manager and being contrary
And you'll see that it's time to move on

[Diner] I won't do that! No I won't do that!

[Waitress]: I know the territory, I know the game
You think I'm not as cute as that other waitress Jane
And sooner or later you won't be chewing around (here)

[Diner] I won't do that! No I won't do that!

Anything for lunch, oh I would do anything for lunch
I would do anything for lunch, but I won't chew that, no I won't chew rat

It's not much, mostly because I can't bloody understand Billy Corgan, so I don't know the actual lyrics.

But I can't get it out of my head now, so I may as well post it.

Especially for [livejournal.com profile] angledge, I bring you Elton John's 'Can You Feel the Lunch Tonight?'

There's a warm pastrami in the rush of day,
when the heat of the microwave can be turned away.
An enchanted moment, and it sees me through –
It's enough for this hungry bastard just to be with you!

And can you feel the lunch tonight?
It is where we are –
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
to rape the olive bar.
And can you feel the lunch tonight?
Have you seen the turkey breast?
It's enough to make at least three more sandwiches –
I believe the very best!

There's time for another serving if we only stuff it down;
I'll turn our twisting esophagus into a glorious crown.
There's some rye and asiago in the cupboard below
When the stomach of this Epicurean fool grumbles, you'll know.

And can you feel the lunch tonight?
It is where we are –
My indigestion has been terrible these days;
I'll ride in the back of the car.
And can you feel the lunch tonight?
Have you seen Snickers and Mounds?
It's enough to make a diabetic hyperventilate;
Look out – Bob's coming around!

And can you feel the lunch tonight?
See the difference our cookbook makes?
While I'm fond of our culinary synthesis,
Shuddup and pass the Jaffa Cakes!



Sorry, Elton. Now take off those asinine glasses. You're too old for that, mate.

In the end of the morning when ev'rything is gettin' kind of groovy,
You call me up and ask I if you want to go and meet and get a smoothie,
First I say no, I've got some plans for a bite,
And then I stop, and say, "All right."
Lunch is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you.

You always keep me guessin', I never seem to know what you are thinkin'.
And if a sub looks good to you, it's for sure your little eye will be a-winkin'.
I get confused, I never know what we'll eat,
And then you smile, and buy a sweet.
Lunch is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you.
Spooky!

If you decide someday to stop this little game that you are playin',
I'm gonna tell you all what my stomache's been a-dyin' to be sayin'.

But now I know, it's not all it seems.

I was thinking of doing "Lookin for love in all the wrong places" but I couldn't do it without thinking of Buckwheat. Then I thought of Paula Cole's "Feelin' Love", but that song is just .... yeah. *cough* SOOO, I'll bring some Etta James into the mix instead. Because no songlist is complete otherwise. (What? I swing dance. I can't help it that I listen to Etta.)


"At Last" (An ode to a sandwich)

At last my lunch has come along
My hungry days are over
And life is like a song

Oh yeah yeah at last
The cheese on top wasn't blue
My heart was wrapped up in a pita
The night I looked at you

I found a deli that I could speak to
A deli that I can call my own
I found a bun to press my cheek to
A bun that iiiiiiiiiIIIII've never known

Ooooyeahyeah, you smile, you smile
OHH and then the smell was ohsogood
And here we are in heaven
For you are miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiyiyiyine at last

"I Just Wanna Make Love to Lunch For You"**

I don't want you to drink no Slim-Fast
I don't want you to starve all day
But I want you to be happy, too,
And I just wanna make lunch for you
Lunch for you, mmmmm, lunch for you

All I want to do is wash your clothes
I don't want to keep you indoors
There is nothing for you to do
But keep me makin lunch for you
Lunch for you, oooooo, lunch for you

And I can tell by the way you walk that walk
And I can hear by the way you talk that talk
And I can know by the way you treat your girl
That I can give you all the lunch in the whole wide world

AAAAAAAAAAall I want to do is make your bread
Just to make sure you're well fed
I don't want you sad and blue
And I just wanna make lunch for you
Lunch for you, oooooo, lunch for you


** That line about making bread and being well fed? Didn't make that up. Twas already in the song. I swear.
