"White and tender surround the center / Cozy, sitting in the crackling shell." What are those high-pitched voices singing about? Eggs! Eggs! So many eggs! Smiling eggs! Ninja eggs! Strawberry eggs! Dear god, this song is now permanently stuck in my head! If you didn't love eggs before, you will after watching this video. Because you won't have a choice. The voices continue to screech, "I love egg!" in your brain long after the video is over. Experience the hypnotizing power of singing, animated eggs, after the jump....

At first I felt bad that I couldn't understand what the lyrics of this rap were, but then neither could the McDonald's employees on the other end of the intercom. So the customers rapped again. And again. At different speeds. Hopefully after those few tries, the order made sense. ("Extra salt on the frizzle," anyone?) Watch the video, after the jump. It's not much visually, but it's funny to listen to the song interrupted by questions from the confused employees. [via Indablog]...

In the web show Cooking With Rockstars, famous rockstars (including Rufus Wainwright, Robyn Hitchcock, and the Raveonettes) are interviewed about food. Jack Black reveals that his favorite dish to make is the Dorito Burrito: "flour tortilla, cheddar cheese, Dorito chips laid down in the middle, microwave, folded up, crispy, burrito." But only Nacho Cheese Doritos will do; Cool Ranch doesn't work because "that's a mixture of tastes—the cheese on top of the cool ranch is a clashing I don't want to deal with." Learn more about Jack Black's food preferences (ketchup is good, onions are bad); after the jump....

Editor's note: This week, it's, like, omigawd, totally '80s for our daily In Videos segment. Big hair, breakdancing, and before-they-were-big celebrity commercial appearances to the max. So kick back your fat-laced high tops and take a chill pill. —The Serious Eats Team If you wanted to make something cool in the '80s, all you had to do was add some rapping. Doesn't matter if you were pushing chicken nuggets, beer, or kid's cereal—make it rhyme and dance and you've got yourself marketing gold! Check out the commercials after the jump, plus a few bonus videos that were too good to pass up—you don't want to miss watching the Fat Boys enjoying an "all you can eat" at Sbarro in New...

San Franciscans, get Funk N Chunk to cater your next backyard barbecue and not only will you have bourbon coffee pulled pork, stuffed Niman Ranch steaks, fresh local oysters, corn-on-the-cob, and more to stuff your belly with, but also an endless stream of hip-hop funk from live DJs to help ease the digestion. A funk-less barbecue would just be wrong. [via SFoodie]...

British DJ Mr. Scruff must really like pie. Why else would he have made a music video portraying a city of potato-shaped people making pies and carrying them around like the hottest new accessory? Even the animals and robots love pie. Watch this animated world of pie excess after the jump....

Who needs guitars, keyboards or drums when you can use carrot recorders, celeriac bongos and leek violins? The 11 members of The Vienna Vegetable Orchestra create music from vegetables—sometimes modified, sometimes not—influenced by electronic sounds in contemporary electronic music. It's serious music that sounds better than anything I could play on a real instrument; take a listen or watch this video of their pre-concert preparations and performance: If you live in Austria you can see The Vienna Vegetable Orchestra perform live tomorrow....

Josh Friedland, proprietor of the über-useful Food Section blog, complied a neat list of 100 songs for food lovers last week for something called "Blogger Radio" on AOL Radio. It's a neat idea, and one that I've been employing almost since the date that Apple launched its iTunes Music Store. I've made mixes, for instance, to soundtrack a number of dinner parties, cookouts, and early-morning brunch feeds....

I love the "Listening With" features in the New York Times even when they don't have cooking references, but this quote by the great jazz singer Dianne Reeves made me fall in love with her. "Explaining how she likes to cook, she said, "It's the same thing with how I sing. I work with my ear to try to make it feel right, or I just keep changing it until I like the way it tastes."...

On NewTeeVee.com, Karina Longworth checks in with a review of new web-based food show Dinner with the Band. The pilot episode features The Cloud Room: One assumes that a partial goal of the Dinner with the Band gang is to get culinary obsessives hooked on new bands whilst simultaneously introducing indie rock kids to gourmet food. They certainly have the food half of the hybrid worked out—I can’t imagine any Cloud Room fan watching the pilot and not salivating over the Lemon Gruyere Gnocchi — but they’ve got a few kinks to work out on the indie rock end. In the pilot episode, the audio quality of the live performances (which are shot, like the cooking segments, in Mason’s apartment)...
