OJ hit it right on the head with Beatles Savoy Truffle. That song should have been played at either keylime pie or tiramasu contest. Van Halen ice cream man is a great song but Savoy Truffle is the ultimate desert.

Wasn’t this poll discussed before? I remember someone mentioning the B-52’s Rock Lobster.

All right. How about the theme song of former / late WWF wrestler known as The Junk Yard Dog (JYD): “Grab Them Cakes!”
Or if Sonya and Legs ever do another seafood contest in Maine, perhaps they might like “Rock Lobster” by the B-52s.
The next time Koby does cow brains, perhaps he might like to hears “Sick Things” by Alice Cooper.
What about “Fish Heads” by Barnes and Barnes (A Dr. Demento show radio classic)?
I’m getting stupid here, so I’ll stop.

Paul and Pat, great work digging up those old tunes. A candy contest seems like the most interesting and most likely to happen. It also hasn’t been done before (has it?). Maybe chocolate bars. Or licorice. Or taffy. Taffy would be fun.
