The hassle and ignorance of diabetes.
Name SONGS that mention something that MAY NOT be good (in terms of effect on blood sugars) for people with diabetes. List as Title and Performing Artist.

Here's my "starter for ten":

Honey Pie - The Beatles
Tequila Sunrise - The Eagles
Candy Man - Donovan
Manic Depression - Jimi Hendrix
The cask of Amontillado - Alan Parsons Project
Biscuit - Portishead
Mars Bars - The Undertones
Sweet Tooth - Free
Heroin - Billy Idol

And my favourite (tongue in cheek, of course :D)
Breakfast in America - Supertramp

I'm sure there must be hundreds more...

How about this one from childhood memories of Saturday morning radio.?
Big Rock Candy Mountain.
' Oh the buzzing of the bees in the cigarette trees, the soda water fountain,
Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird springs in that Big Rock Candy Mountain'

Apparently the Burl Ives version ,I remember is a sanitised version for children (cigarettes were still OK in the 50s but they dropped bits about lakes of whisky and gin

Anything by Michael Jackson, his songs should carry a Government Health Warning ⚠.

They are all pretty depressing too so generally ruin your day.

Anyone remember the glam rockers Sweet?

Suppose any song of theirs would qualify
