I was on a quest to find a good non-meat hot dog and I just discovered that you have to put gobs of dijon on and that will make even a "Smart Dog" good.

@dale: Fatty Jubbo's Cake & Polka Parade. Though, IIRC it's not a polka-based show.

Ooooh! PGB's fill-ins: "Klarinettpolka" to start and another polka he always ends on.

Night Al:

1. Beans and Cornbread--Louis Jordan
Cornbread challenges beans to a fight. Just when things get heated, beans astutely averts crisis by reminding cornbread that they go hand in hand.

2. Pass the Peas--J.B.'s
James Brown's band makes peas funky, and not in a week-old casserole sort of way.

3. Bread and Butter--The Newbeats
Things seemed perfect for the Newbeats' strikingly falsetto Larry Henley since his baby always fed him his favorite titular dish--until he caught her eating chicken and dumplings with another man.

4. Junk Food Junkie--X-Ray Spex
Fast food and fast living will make Johnny and Jenny die young.

5. Cherry Pie--Marvin & Johnny
Like a sweet slice of pie, this doo-wop number is so addictive it was covered by Skip & Flip AND George Carlin.

6. Peanut Butter--Marathons
This creamy novelty R&B hit really sticks.

7. I Like Food--Descendents
A passionate and explosive fifteen second love poem to grub

8. Know Your Chicken--Cibo Matto
The Japanese duo's name means "crazy food" in Italian so you can consider them an authority when they advocate knowing your chicken.

9. I Don't Wanna Be No Personal Pizza--Personal & the Pizzas
These New Jersey punkers channel The Ramones and Kierkegaard to philosophically employ pizza as a metaphor for life.

10. The Hamburger Song--Bobby Moore & The Rhythm Aces
This fun dance number proves the origins of rap are with the burger. Now health-conscious diets have put the burger back in a wrap. It's the circle of life.

11. Ham 'N' Eggs--A Tribe Called Quest
Get a tip on lowering your cholesterol from the hip hop luminary's first album.

12. Peanut Butter Jelly Time--The Buckwheat Boyz
Once isolated to listeners of South Florida's Power96 FM, the cloying 105 second track got 15 minutes of fame when it became an internet meme with 21 million YouTube hits.

13. Banana Splits (The Tra La La Song)--The Dickies
The LA punks' do The Banana Splits Adventure Hour theme on a revved up sugar high.

14. Rib Tips--Andre Williams

15. Red Beans--Professor Longhair
The inventor of New Orleans piano offers his signature dish that'll have the women jumping for joy.

16. Vegetables--Beach Boys
Take a peak into the crisper of Brian Wilson's mind with his ode to edible plants that features celery chewing as percussion.

17. Mashed Potatoes--Steve Alaimo
The early '60s dance craze of pivoting heels was also provided a soundtrack by Dee Dee Sharp, Nat Kendrick and the Swans (AKA James Brown's band) and Bill Haley y sus Cometas.

18. Milk Shake & Potato Chips--Bob Marley & the Wailers
Marley complains that every time he takes his lady out she wants a milk shake and potato chips. Sounds like our kind of girl.

19. Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie--Jay and the Techniques
There's a nostalgia in certain fruits, baked goods and seeing the girl you've been trying to tag since you played hide-and-seek as kids.

20. Bar-B-Q--Wendy Rene
Call Dr. Phil. This might be the cure for depression.

21. Coconut--Harry Nilsson
Woo-ooo. Drink this song down, then you'll feel better.

22. Southern Fried Chicken--Bill Thomas and The Fendells
Like this 1966 platter, when chicken is battered and fried perfectly, it's got delicious grooves.

23. Peaches--Presidents of the United States of America
Not since Henry David Thoreau's Walden has there been such a celebrated expression of transcendental living.

24. Memphis Soul Stew--King Curtis
In 1967, the monarch of rock and roll sax gave us a step-by-step recipe for delicious R&B: half a teacup of bass, a pound of fatback drums, four tablespoons of boiling Memphis guitars, a pinch of organ and half a pint of horn. Active Time: 3 minutes. It's going to taste alright.

25. They're Red Hot--Robert Johnson
The bad news is hot tamales are so red hot they'll put your kidneys to sleep. Good news, they're a dime for four.
