The other popular one with a similar theme is Rujak Uleg (Indonesian Salad) with lyrics in Javanese. The ingredients for both include fresh and boiled vegetables like long beans, bean sprouts, sliced potatoes, tame-pay (fermented beans), fried tofu and prawn crackers. The gravy is pound fried groundnuts with chilli sauce.
Gado-gadonya, Bung, (Gado gado brother, is from Jakarta)
dari Jakarta
Sangat digemari (Loved by everyone in the country)
rakyat jelata…
Satu bungkusnya, Bung (A packet costs half a rupiah)
sa-tengah rupiah
Bang Achmad pulang, Bung (When husband Achmad comes home his gado2 is ready)
sudah sedia…
Jika Mpoh minah, Bung (If wife Poh Minah is too lazy to go to the kitchen)
malas ke dapur
Semua ada: (Everything's in: fried tofu, fried prawn-crackers)
tahu goreng, kerupuk udang,
campur-campur… (a good mix)
Bila Mpok Minah, Bung (When wife Minah is too lazy to market)
malas belanja
Beli gado-gado (She buys gado-gado, Jakarta styled).

Thanks Andy. "Gado Gado" is my favorite Indonesian ketupat with satay gravy! Didn't know the song of the heritage food (foodage) has been composed. Good food, good song...Cheers!
I don't know about the foodage song being composed but I do know that gado gado is my favourite salad too. Hot and spicy with lots of vegetables.
And the song is just as delicious.
A new video has been attached to this posting. You can listen follow the lyrics provided as you listen to the song.
The Emnglish translation is in orange.
The song came about as a very typical 1950's song (or many other songs for that matter)written around or after WWII, they were very poetic love songs(as we know them well) as well as it could be a song about fruits(Papaya Mangga Pisang Djambu from Pasarminggu,) marketplace, train, beautiful cities, lakes (Telaga Sarangan, Ditepi Sungai Serayu), Beautiful river (Bengawan Solo), also about the sleek personification about city in a romantic way(LENGGANG SURABAYA)Es Lilin (about Ice Cream-Bandung)
