   ...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

   more full like this?...or like this?
