In that case, the 10,000 Maniacs song should be disqualified as well: "If lust and hate is the candy, / if blood and love tastes so sweet, / then we give 'em what they want."

some of the él records artists liked to sing songs about food, especially bad dream fancy dress and a couple by the would-be-goods. they might have even actually been about food instead of using food as a metaphor for something else.
