'Money (That's What I Want)' was a 1959 hit single by Barrett Strong & was co-written by Berry Gordy of Tamla Motown. It was also covered by The Beatles, The Kingsmen (of 'Louie Louie' fame) and also the Stones (hold that thought).
It was used by Taco Bell in their TV adverts for pseudo-Mexican food. One of the (ahem) nutritious and delicious options on offer at said fast food chain might well be something like a burrito.
I understand that some airlines are thinking of introducing this wonderful delicacy into their in-flight food services and that, curiously, it is the favourite food of many male siblings.
Ladies & gentlemen, I give you the Flying Burrito Brothers!
The Flying Burrito Brothers - 'Wild Horses'
Now then, Gram Parsons co-wrote 'Wild Horses' with Keith Richards and the Stones recorded it for their album 'Sticky Fingers'.
Sticky Fingers is what you might get if you don't eat your Burrito carefully. However, it's also the name of a restaurant in London, which is owned by Bill Wyman.
You know where I'm going with this, don't you?
That's right! Hey hey, I've just checked the menus of our Bill's place and he sells Burritos!!!!
Burritos
Slow roasted pork OR chicken with mixed peppers wrapped in a flour tortilla, grilled and served with a spicy bean rice, guacamole, salsa and sour cream
Pulled Pork £13.65 // Cajun Chicken £13.45
He also does a 'Beggar's Banquet', which is a 20 quid ribs & chicken monster plate (rather than a place in the queue at the soup kitchen down the street!) Sadly, there is no 'Goat's Head Soup' on offer though.
One intriguing, dish on the menu is the Cajun Blackened Salmon, which sort of reminds me of:
The Doobie Brothers - 'Dark Eyed Cajun Woman'
