30 Day Song Challenge, Day 5

Today’s entry is the first truly odd challenge: A song about Food.

First: A song by fave PUNK ROCK band.
I don’t know if they qualify as my favorite punk band, but this is definitely one of my favorite punk songs, so I’ll go with that:

Second: A favorite song by a BRITISH INVASION group.
I’ll assume that they mean the first British Invasion of the 60s, and not the second British Invasion of the MTV-era 80s. I’m not going to go with the obvious choice of the Beatles or the Rolling Stones (although I like songs by both), but rather a true favorite of mine:
