I EAT CANNIBALS

(chorus)
I eat cannibal
Feed on animal
Your love is so edible to me
I eat cannibals
I eat cannibal
It's incredible
You bring out the animal in me
I eat cannibals

What can you do
You're in a stew
Hot pot cook it up
I'm never gonna stop
Fancy a bite
My appetite
Yum yum gee it's fun
Banging on a different drum

(chorus)

I like a spice
Tasty and nice
Roastin, vitamin
Forget the dietin'
Mmm such a dish
I can't resist
Healthy recipe
What you got is good for me

All I wanna do
Make a meal of you
We are what we eat
You're my kind of meat
Got a hunger for your love
(Hot pot cook it up, I'm never gonna stop)
It's all I'm thinkin' of
(Yum yum gee it's fun, I'm banging on a drum)
Give the world a bone
(Roastin vitamin, forget the dietin')
I got steak at home
(I eat cannibals)

(chorus)

Roastin', toastin', you're the one I'm boastin'
Eat me, eat you, incredibly delicious too
Gourmet, flambe, serve you up an entree
Intake, home bake, you're the icing on the cake

Eat me, eat you, incredibly delicious too
Gourmet, flambe, serve you up an entree
Intake, home bake, you're the icing on the cake
Full up, can't stop, dicing on a chop chop

Also one of the greatest examples of a song with silly lyrics about things not usually found in pop songs making you think it's better than anything ver because you ENJOY waiting to find out what the fuck they're gonna say next/laughing at what they said last.

Cf 'I'm On E' by Blondie and the un(re)discovered (?) classic 'Hey Potatoes' by Claude Francois.

Anyway, aside from being catchy, the song's notable for partially inspiring a memorably stoned conundrum: whether a cannibal who ate non-cannibals could really be considered to be a literal "cannibal".

The video made me realize just how talentless they were

RITE

Y'all know the rat salad re-edit of this right????

Some of those cheap 80s videos are more artistic than the shit we've been watching for the past fifteen years.

cocaaaaaaaaaaaine

I love how their hair color is like candy and comes in different colors.

It's like Girls Aloud fell into some weird time warp.

"I Eat Cannibals" vs. "I Want Candy" fite!

I can't seem to put one on a mix-tape without the other.

Oh, I Want Candy wins in a heartbeat. Not even close.

I totally forgot about the existence of this song until just now. Indeed one of the 1980s all-time greats! And I had no clue they were called TOTO Coelo everywhere but in the US. Here's some uncharacteristic snarkiness on Wiki re: the matter:

"The group was renamed Total Coelo in the United States to avoid confusion with the American group, Toto. Apparently the difference between one word and two is a bit much for the colonials."

This is a stupid song and I'd rather be shot in the head than listen to it, thanks.

Toto were better. LOL

it's not your right to be
so much my enemy

One of the girls from Toto Coelo and Nick from Alien Sex Fiend were both offspring of Bob 'I'll Have A P Please Bob' Holness of Blockbuster fame. (Rubbish 'cult' student quiz favourite in the UK.) Who of course was sampled in comedy 'Ardkore track 'I'll Have An E Please Bob' but never played sax on 'Baker Street' by Gerry Rafferty.

And, overloading factually now, Bob was the first ever James Bond, playing him on a radio 4 adaptation of an Ian Flemming novel.
