The song uses the lyric, “Might as well face it I’m addicted to spuds” no less than sixteen times. Here’s a link the Yankovic lyrics. And here’s a link to his performance.
Enjoy.

I’ve written often about songs related to Idaho. Not surprisingly, I missed one (at least). A reader pointed me toward “Addicted to Spuds” by Weird Al Yankovic. It’s a parody of the 1985 song “Addicted to Love,” written and performed by Robert Palmer. The song uses the lyric, “Might as well face it I’m addicted to spuds” no less than sixteen times. Here’s a link the Yankovic lyrics. And here’s a link to his performance. Enjoy. "Weird Al" Yankovic. (2024, April 28). In Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Weird_Al%22_Yankovic
