Don't ask me why (unless you want an incoherent answer), but I need a list of songs that mention scones, the tasty semi-pastry of Scotland. What better place to ask than here at ILM, repository of all useless musical knowledge?

Would that include what Americans typically call biscuits?

Either way, I can't think of any.

Monty Python's The Lumberjack Song rhymes "lavatory" with "buttered scones for tea" IIRC...

"Skin and Bone" by the Kinks has a line about scones, I do believe.

Princess Superstar's "The Little Freakazoid That Could" drops a scone simile.

How does one pronounce this word? I eat them, I just don't know how to ask for them.

Scones are just deep-fried bread dough here, much like a smaller version of an elelphant ear. There is an ad for the state fair with a jingle that mentions scones, but good luck finding it.

If this thread proves anything, it's that people need to get busy writing more scone songs. Maybe an entire concept album is in order.

Clarke - it rhymes with "bones."

Fivvy - where do you live that scones are deep fried dough?

Were there any by Ultra Vivid Scone or The Scone is Now? ("How Scone is Now?" - not funny, don't say it.)

― dave225 (Dave225), Monday, 12 May 2003 18:54 (twenty-two years ago)

clarke-there is a bit of disagreement over pronunciation
i,for example,am certain that it rhymes with "tone"
but other would insist that it actually rhymes with "on"

("Freak Scone" is funny tho..)

― dave225 (Dave225), Monday, 12 May 2003 18:56 (twenty-two years ago)

This is a bit like posting a crush tape, but the object of my long game (if in fact I have one) had a friend who misheard a line from an Indigo Girls song - "I'm coming home/with a stone/strapped onto my back" - as "I'm coming home/with a scone/strapped onto my back". Now I can't hear the song (tho I don't really listen to them any more) without changing the lyrics and thinking of the girl.
