Can we be told what the food connection is in the entries where it's less obvious? No idea about some of these.​

Certainly (and remember that I was willing to basically shoehorn in any meaning I could find, if it meant not hosting a flop round):

4-3-1 - Animal (animal crackers, and carnivores eat animal meat)
Rainbow Team - Bite The Apple (fruit)
Silver Apples - Oscillations (fruit)
Cibo Matto - Beef Jerky (dried meat)
Candy Girls feat. Sweet Pussy Pauline - Wham Bam (candy)
Evelyn "Champagne" King - Out Of Control (beverage)
Dolly Dots - Keep On Running (candy)
Tanita Tikaram - Feeding The Witches (act of eating/drinking)
Chayanne - Fiesta En América (an event where you eat, and a brand of spices)
Fläskkvartetten & Nina Persson - Som glas (fläsk = Swedish for pork)
Christian Fry - You Got Me (French fries)
Throbbing Gristle - Hamburger Lady (meat and bread)
A La Carte - Ring Me Honey (and “a la carte” also applies)
The Flaming Lips - She Don't Use Jelly (sandwich spread)
Kim Harlow - Allo réseau (Kim is the romanized version of 김, Korean for dried seaweed e.g. kimchi)
Kids In The Kitchen - Bitter Desire (place where you cook food)
Regurgitator - Kong Foo Sing (brand of fortune cookie in Australia)
Luscious Jackson - Ladyfingers (dessert pastry)
Lime - Your Love (fruit)
Milk Inc. - Promise (beverage)
Voice Of The Beehive - Moon Of Dust (Moon Cheese is a brand of snacks in North America, and beehives are where honey is made)
Papaya - Hero (fruit)
Pepper Girls - So Cold As ice (botanical fruit, but culinary vegetable)
Pink Lady - Kiss In The Dark (type of apple)
@tak - Pizza Boy (mangia!)
Joyce Sims - Walk Away (dim sims is a dumpling-like snack in Australia)
Anna Book - Killsnack (in this song snack refers to talking, but in English snack is a category of food)
dEUS - Suds & Soda (beverage) (and Suds is a nickname for beer)
Strawpeople - Spoiler (use a straw to drink your soda)
Wild Strawberries - Trampoline (fruit)
Vanessa Daou - Two To Tango (cocktail)
OTT - The Story Of Love (we love drinking tea and spilling it)
Thomas Dolby - Europa And The Pirate Twins (brand of bread products in North America)


I know this probably doesn’t need to be said, but just in case:
To all voters: All of the entries were deemed by me as the host to fit the theme, so please do not penalize a song if you think it is less apt for the theme than others.

Side Theme

The number 86 is used in restaurants as a way to signal that something should be excluded. A waiter might tell the cook “The customer wants a cheeseburger, 86 the tomato.” Since we are in Round 86, it’s only appropriate that we think about something we’d want to 86.

At some point during the voting period, I would like you to send me the name of a song that you wish you could 86 from one of your favorite artists’ discographies.* Also, if you are a regular RETRO participant, feel free to send me one of your previous entries that you wish you could 86 from your RETRO-legacy. I will share these at the reveal.

*Remember that the artist and song may be from any era, pre- or post-2000!

I would be remiss if I didn't point out several of these have additional theme references in their names:

Cibo Matto = "Crazy Food" in Italian
Throbbing Gristle = Something you don't want to bite into in your chicken pie
Luscious Jackson = A word you might use to describe a juicy fruit
The Flaming Lips = What happens after eating a ghost pepper
Regurgitator = What you are when you've had too many passes at the buffet line
