Great stuff...Strawberry fields would be my favorite! I love coffee as well but had no idea that there were so many songs about it.

Comment by Paul King on November 12, 2009 at 1:14pm: Question: How many calories are there if you put the lime in the coconut and drink them both together?

Comment by Jodie Ellis on November 12, 2009 at 12:37pm: I love it! Great post Alyson - I am also reminded of Disney's 'The Little Mermaid' (I have always had a soft spot for Disney cartoons) and a song in that movie called "Les Poisson" - If my memory serves me correctly, the chef is working on some fried fish and some stuffed crab. Both sound delicious to me, but maybe I will let the nutrition facts help me decide... If you want to reminisce, you can find the song here:
