Today is Mardi Gras — also known as Fat Tuesday. It's a day for overindulgence and feasting before the fasting of lent.

Indulgence can come in many forms, but in the case of Mardis Gras it most often signifies the eating of rich, fatty foods.

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what are songs that feature indulgence?

Thanks to Matt and Kayleigh for the idea and Happy Fat Tuesday!
