Boogie and bananas. The perfect pancake accompaniment...

It’s the same every year. We wait…we devour… then we look ashamedly towards the gluttonous individual staring back at us in the mirror…
But fear not! Research has shown that music can influence hormone production, ultimately influencing a person’s emotive state, but can also affect consumption and weight loss. So, this year, why not dance off those added calories whilst flipping the crepe out of your pan-based cakes. After all, it’s a day to be joyous…on this day, thousands of years ago, Jesus ate a pancake.

5. Rapper’s Delight - The Sugar Hill Gang

I’m not even going to justify this.

It’s The Sugar Hill Gang, and funk at its best…what more do you want?

4. Low - Flo-Rida ft T-Pain

Sure, it’s not your conventional food flipping ensemble, but considering the tempo and beat of the tune – and the general dance associated with it – this could provide an interesting variation to conventional pancake action.

3. MMMBop - Hanson

Ok, so they look like the Children of the Corn… but when it comes to MMMBop, there’s no denying the feel good experience it provides.

2. 2Pac/Danny Boy/Aaron Hall/KC & JoJo Hailey - Toss It Up

I’m clutching at straws a bit here, but hear me out.

Toss It Up gives you an excuse to listen to the – wait for it – legendary ensemble of 2Pac and Danny Boy, whilst allowing for a cheeky bump and grind on this, the day of the Pancake.

All together now… “Lemme see you Toss it Up… wayoh wayoh wayoh wayohhhhhh”

1. The Smiths - Bigmouth Strikes again

It’s a great song. It mentions bigmouths and sweetness.And it’s got one of the catchiest rifts of all time. Plus, it’s the closest Morrissey got to being cheerful. Other than this, The Smiths were pretty much a bipolars dream.

Honourable mentions:

“Pancake (in The Streets of London)” – The Smiths
“Oohhh what a feeling…there’s pancake on the ceiling” – Lionel Richie

Vince’s White Cells Pancake Crimp – The Mighty Boosh
