Don't Eat the Yellow Snow: Songs with 'Snow' in the Title
...and speaking of snow, we have had more than our share here in Pittsburgh. The fourth biggest snow fall in the city's history has left a beautiful, two-foot thick blanket of powdery snow.
So, I have begun to think of songs with 'snow' in the title. One site, http://www.fiql.com/playlists/songs_with_snow_in_their_title1/, has a pretty good list.
I can add Frank Zappa's "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow." http://beemp3.com/download.php?file=3480589&song=Don't+Eat+The+Yellow+Snow The song was the first Zappa song to hit the Billboard charts at #86. It was the opening track on his most commercially successful album, 1974's Apostrophe, which reached #10 on the album chart and became a gold record in 1976.
Apart from Bill Murray's Nick Winter character singing Gilda Ratner's cast "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow" on Saturday Night Live, I don't know of any recorded cover versions.
I did come across a great recipe for yellow snow cupcakes!

Because in a few days, the beautiful white snow here will be yellow, too.
