Notable for its absence is "Girls Just Want To Have Lunch", from Dare To Be Stupid, Yankovic's only previously released food-related song not to make the album. This might be due to the fact that the song exists solely because record executives at the time wanted Yankovic to record a Cyndi Lauper parody; Yankovic was resistant to the idea and admittedly put less than his best effort into the song.[citation needed] The executives were reportedly less than impressed with the result.
Since the release of The Food Album, Yankovic has released additional food-related songs, such as "Waffle King" and "Living In The Fridge", both from the album Alapalooza, "Grapefruit Diet" from the album Running With Scissors, and "Trapped In The Drive-Thru" from the album Straight Outta Lynwood.
It should be noted that "Waffle King" was technically released before The Food Album: It was released on the Smells Like Nirvana single.
