The first Friday of June marks National Doughnut Day, folks. True story. Our co-workers over at City of Ate even got Homer Simpson to comment on it.
Anyway, since we love foodie holidays here at the Observer — especially ones celebrating sweet, deep-fried, ring-shaped balls of dough — we thought it appropriate to comprise a list of our favorite music videos that pay homage to the morning treat.
So, sit back and grab a sweet, sugary, glazed, frosted, sprinkle, fried, braided, jelly-filled, bacon-topped or whatever other kind of doughnut you like, and enjoy.

Snacking on some chocolate dunkers before hitting the streets, no big deal.
Man Like Me — “Donut”

Matt “Chainsaw” Chaney — “Donuts, Go Nuts!”
Yes, this is an entire song and video dedicated to the heavenly deep-fried pastries.
