You've got a Friend (Ode to Laksa)
Sung to the tune of "You've got a Friend" by James Taylor/Carole King
When you feel that something's missin',
Some imbalance deep inside,
And your tongue has got that cravin
you just can't hide.....
You're trying hard to study,
Your exams are 'round the bend
But you just can't satisfy
those hunger pangs.....
chorus
You just get in the car,
and no matter how near or far,
searching for, that bowl of Laksa.......
Hae Bee, Oil, Chilli and Ha'am,
Flows down your throat, its so pa'ang
Hits you right there! Yeah Yeah Ye'ah
You've got a Friend....
So you think you can be a Food Idol Judge? The Polls are open, you can now cast your vote by clicking on the Polls!
If you would like to take part in Food Idols, just submit your lyrics of the food song to me. Even better if you can get it recorded with slideshow and send me the link! But it must be an original song composed by yourself and it has to be about Singapore Food.
Post Script:
Just in case you are wondering. The music was a downloaded midi file and Amagada basically sang in front of the laptop to record it. No post recording work was done, so it is pretty raw.
One of those things you do when you are bored late at night!

That was very well put up!
Nice voice you have, amagada! ... that's a pretty cool idea... :)

Well the invitation is open to anyone who wants to write a food song! Any rappers out there?

This may very well be a revolution in the food blogosphere! *hurhur*
Say, I feel like composing a tune now... *whips out manuscript and pencil*
I found your blog through AsiaOne and saw this ode to Laksa. OMG, that is my favouritest food! I am currently overseas and you are putting to torture with this nicely done video. I would love to say I hate you but I am distracted by the beautiful pictures... *tears*
!!!!! Congrats Ieat and Amgada to the lovely food song using the tune of one of my favourite song by Carole King (sadly she has passed on), to one of my favourite food- LAKSA.
Ieat - I enjoy the lighthearted renditions in your food blog which give sincere and honest personal opinions of each other's experience with food, without any food ego searching trip. Keep up the good work.
Nice singing....good job there.
Hope to meet Amagada 1 day.
Glad you all like Laksa. Got 2 more blogs akan datang.
