Sushi Sing-Along! By Todd Inoue SUSHI MIGHT seem like an unlikely inspiration for musicians but some artists name-check it as haute cuisine or as an easy rhyme for "coochie." Here are some of our favorite sushi-related lyrics. I wanna go to a sushi bar I wanna go with you. Ikura, Battera, Salmon Tamago, Saladamaki Which one shall I order first? I just can't choose.                                --Shonen Knife, "Sushi Bar" Admiring my shoes by Gucci I be eating sushi Playing with my coochie.                                --Lil' Kim, "Getting Money" See hoochies pop coochies, for Gucci's and Lucci Find me in my Mitsubishi, eatin' sushi, bumpin' Fugees.                                --Lauryn Hill/The Fugees, "Fugee-La" Suck a tentacle, dip it in sauce Hot green root, it sure is boss My only vice is to slice it nice And wrap it in rice--oh, what a device!                                --The Tubes, "Sushi Girl" I'm not your Chardonnay I'm not your sushi bar I'm nothing but your love.                                --Toshi Kubota, "Nothing but Your Love" Who be, in a Japanese restaurant, eating sushi Drinking sake, it's me and my mami with the doobie.                                --Jay-Z w/Foxy Brown and Babyface, "Sunshine" You'll think you're looking at Aquaman I summon fish to the dish, Although I like the Chalet Swiss I like the sushi 'cause it's never touched a frying pan Hot like wasabi when I bust rhymes Big like Leann Rimes.                                --Barenaked Ladies, "One Week" I don't drink or smoke, ain't into dope Won't try no coke, ask me how I do it, I cope My only addiction has to do with the female species I eat 'em raw like sushi.                                --Gerardo, "Rico Suave" Pretty raw with it Cute sushi lunches Nineteen steps from out under your feet Can't eat won't eat Cute sushi lunches.                                --Sneaker Pimps, "Cute Sushi Lunches" I gave my 24-7 to you Doing everything you wanted to I bought you sushi and yogurt too You bought a wringer just to put me through.                                --2GETHer, "I Gave My 24-7 to You" My heart's in the country My feet's in the city with you All my friends are eatin' sushi Talkin' bad about you know who.                                --Motley Crue, "City Boy Blues" Let's get sushi and not pay!                                --Repo Man Send a letter to the editor about this story via email .
