...but I remember we used to help each other construct lists of songs that had
some feature in common...was hoping to get some help on a little project of
mine....

I need songs that mention breakfast cereal...if there are any that just talk
about "sitting down to eat a bowl of cereal" without mentioning any specific
kind, that'd be great, but I'll also settle for offhand mentions like:

"don't spill the cornflakes, they'll break at lunch break"
(from "Saturday Morning Confusion" by Bobby Russell)

"don't want no Cap'n Crunch, don't want no raisin bran"
(from "Eat It" by Weird Al Yankovic)

Those are both comedy/novelty songs, but I'd kind of like at least a few
suggestions that are more mainstream than that....

I'd like to stay away from songs that just have phrases that happen to match the
name of a kind of cereal..."Lucky Charms", "Total" or "Cheerios" will work if
they're actually about the cereal, but not if the words just show up in another
sense...(I don't count "Kicks" by Paul Revere and the Raiders, for example)....

I'm also willing to include references to hot cereals: Malt-O-Meal, Cream of
Wheat, Maypo, even Quaker Oats....r

It's not like it used to be...

Pink Floyd - "Alan's Psychedaelic Breakfast"

Bob Marley's "No Woman No Cry" mentions cooking wholemeal porridge, though
not specifically for breakfast...

The Beatles' "Good Morning Good Morning" is based on a TV commercial for
cornflakes

Frank Zappa's "Flakes" (a bit tenuous...)
