Welcome to the 6th installment of food/eating tune of the week.

One of my first memories of food in music was watching Peter Combe’s music videos on the ABC. My parents then bought us an ABC for Kids VHS with a few of his songs on it, and we must have watched it quite a lot, because my sister and I revisited it recently for nostalgia’s sake and we still somehow know all the songs by heart.

When Peter Combe visited my primary school and sung us some songs I think I experienced my first bout of pop-idol worship. It still hasn’t passed, really – I still reckon he’s a legend! (Though I’m sure my eldest sister – whose nearly 30 – sung ‘Toffee Apple’ too, and the boy ’schwein seems to remember Combe teaching at his school, or at least also remembers the songs.. so I do sometimes wonder just how long the guy has been around for!!)

Here are a few of his classics…

Toffee Apple

Spaghetti Bolognaise – Live (you can’t hear much other than the chorus, but check out the crowd! hilarious)

Wash your face with Orange Juice (again, check out the psyched crowd! makes my own admiration of him seem kind of normal! lol)

And lastly, a non-Peter Combes one that was also featured on the ABC for Kids VHS we had. I also think this still rocks – Dancing in the Kitchen by Franciscus Henri.

White Pyjamas by Franciscus Henri is my favourite by him, though – not food related, but still awesome. If I ever have kids, this will be a staple for them too

Hooray for the ABC!!!!
