Breakfast Music

Mmm... breakfast. Delicious, right? But you might ask yourself, what's a good breakfast without some ridiculous music to get yourself going while you eat? That's right, it's nothing without some ridiculous music to get yourself going while you eat. And that's why I'm going to give you this quick guide to breakfast music:

Pink Floyd gives us a decent concept to start with, Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast. A time-honored classic, this song gets major points for actually being breakfast-themed. However, for some listeners the sounds of breakfast are too strange and disturbing to actually allow them to keep their breakfast down. Thus, we don't like marmalade, and shall continue our search.

An energetic morning starts with an energetic track. Kellogg's took this idea to heart when they selected Do Your Thing by Basement Jaxx as the music for their Special K commercial last year. But spend enough breakfasts with that in the background, and you'll easily go insane, thinking it's mocking you for eating your breakfast, "Do your thing" implying that you're just off in your own little world. We are not special, so the search moves forward yet again.

For the forward-thinking man, breakfast songs ought to be about eating, and have only a loose connection to it. Skindred has the perfect track for cleaning your plate: for a speedy breakfast and a happy stomach, look no further than Nobody. Crank it up loud, pull out all the stops and shovel that food down your throat! With this song to pump you up for it, you won't leave a single crumb on your plate.
