Eat It All Out - or The Madmother Munching Musical

Ladies and gentlemen, before we begin tonight's presentation I give to you one of the greatest Aussie bands EVER:

Midnight Oil!

Yes, the Oils with "Read About It"

Remember the days? Play it right through, go on. Love that driving beat, the anger, the passion. True blue Oils. Shame he didn't stick to what he did best, but that's a whole other blog topic.

Now I can hear you all muttering away there:

(though your heads are still bobbing to the steady beat as the song replays again and again in your head),

what on earth does this have to do with the

Blog This Comfort Food Challenge?

Well, I'm about to tell you.

For this challenge I have decided to do something a little off centre. I could have explained in great detail the comfort foods I turn to for consolation when life throws me more curve balls than I can handle. The love affair with pizza after a bad day at work, the satisfying nights with crispy bacon and homemade chips cooked by a man who loved me and only wished to take away my sorrow about the men who didn't. I could. But I won't.

Instead I give to you, sung to the tune of Read About It

Oh, and you could always download the song, hit play

and keep it running in the background whilst you sing. I have!

Eat It All Out 

Pepperoni pizza, dripping cheese the feature

Cholesterol will hit ya when you’re older dear

Some like fine dining, others prefer wining

For beer I am pining till my order’s here

Comfort food is greasy, digestion is so easy

In the morning I’ll be queasy, hope the bathroom’s near

Bowel motions nasty, face will be pasty

Depression will be all gone and the head will clear

         and the head will clear

You better eat it all out, eat it all out

 Just another consolation binge, trying to forget him.

Cheeseburger men are fickle, kept throwing out the pickle

He sure knew how to tickle though he was so dumb

Just give me the large chips, you know some men are such pricks

Thank God I ended this bit while I am still young

Yes, I’ll have the bacon, is it crispy you’ll be makin’

My hunger I ain’t faking, crap I burnt my tongue

My tummy’s feeling nasty, need alka seltzer fast here

Depression soon forgotten and the headache's gone
                and the headache's gone

You better eat it all out, eat it all out

Food will always help you heal, come on put it all out

You better eat it all out, eat it all out

Fritters are a glorious meal, come on pig it all out

Pepperoni pizza, hot dripping cheese the feature

Cholesterol will hit ya when you’re older dear

 My stomachs really whining, others will be dining

For beer I am still pining, oh my order’s here

Ooooh Ooooh Ooooh Ooooooooohohoho
Ooooh Ooooh Ooooh Ooooooooohohoho

Ooooooooohohoho
