Song Meaning of “Honey Buns” by Bobby Rydell
‘Honey Buns’ by Bobby Rydell uses a metaphor of food to express desperate affection. The narrator is describing his strong desire and longing for his beloved. He compares his intense love to sweet honey buns, saying that he “just can’t get enough because he keeps thinking of her.” He is so strongly attracted to her that it feels like he could “eat” her up. Not only that, he wants to be around her as much as possible, “tast[ing]” her sweet kisses every chance he gets. The metaphor of food expresses how intense and powerful the narrator’s feelings are for his beloved. It can be interpreted as a song about loving someone so deeply that it becomes almost an addiction.
