Forgive me, I thought obsession song was about any sort of obsession, only for it to only be about lust.


This generally shows that the person really loves that particular food (maybe it's even their TrademarkFavoriteFood) or [[BigEater food in general]], if not an outright [[ObsessedWithFood obsession]], and in such case, this trope overlaps with ObsessionSong. They may also be a LargeHam, but that's not a necessity. It could also be because they're really hungry for whatever reason.

We all like at least some foods. We like to taste them, smell them, and to a lesser extent, look at them. But some characters like their food so much, they sing about it, and that's this trope.

Often PlayedForLaughs because FoodSongsAreFunny, but when PlayedForDrama, it might be sung by a villain who wants to eat the protagonist or similar.
