Lyrics

For TK, the no-touch-etarian...

Sometimes When We Touch (by Dan Hill)

You often talk of eating
And by that I mean all the time
The Palm, Tail Up Goat or Komi
Chicken parm or a ribeye
Tony, who are we to judge you?
'Cause your show's about your world view
But you can still surprise us by what you say and do

So sometimes when foods touch
It drives you completely nuts
You just don't want your peas and potatoes to collide
Tommy Jacomo would certify
Your plating standards are so, so high
You wanna keep your entrees separate from your sides

    Had a few folks over for home karaoke earlier. They know of my jingling and know TK from PTI. The chick sang Dan Hill. I played this one immediately after. Lots of laughs! Miss you Johnny!

    Jaime and I went grocery shopping today. We went into King Sooper's and she said "I just need to get fruit and meat." I immediately started singing this jingle. The classics never leave you.

    When this jingle came out, I shared this with John on Twitter inasmuch you can do in 140 characters. Here's the longer version. In the 1990s, I lived literally down the street from Dan Hill in East end Toronto by Lake Ontario (he had beachfront property, mine was less desirable). I never met him but people who had mentioned what a great down-to-earth guy he was. (sidebar - he was likely the number 2 celebrity in the area. Director Norman Jewison also had a home there). Bottom line - this song (and the jingle) has a special connection to me. Also it came out in 1977 the year I started High School which also brings back happy memories. More Information for Life - there's also a loose connection to the show. Dan's parent lived in Maryland before moving to Toronto. Thanks John!

    Yes, you had me at "Sometimes When Foods Touch" - so great, John! I've never heard of Dan Hill but Rod Stewart's version is just as bad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1koi4FYewc This one is way better than both of those.

    That title is brilliant, and I started laughing from the first couple lines.

    Thanks for sprucing up a truly bad song. Plating standards. Priceless.
