So yea, spring break. I went home, my computer didn’t. Sorry for the long delay, so I’ll post up TWO AT A TIME next time to make up for it.
Topic – Fruit
Lemon
France – Kimya Dawson
“I finally got mine – the lemon-meringue kind”
Cherry
15 – Rilo Kiley
“She was bruised like a cherry, ripe as a peach”
Orange
Orange Crush – R.E.M.
“Got my Orange Crush”
Apple
Big Bang – Cursive
“Some talking snake giving apples away, what would that snake say if he could only see us today? HAHAHA!”
Banana
Bananaphone – Raffi
“Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring… Banana Phone!”
Melon
Tutti Frutti Summer Love – Günther
“Do the naked dance. Bananas, melons, yeah”
Grape
Hey There Fancypants – Ween
“Hey there, sour grapes“
Lime
Lime Tree – Bright Eyes
“Under the leaves of that old lime tree I stood examining the fruit”
Coconut
Bang Bang – Dispatch
“Coconut hit me on the head, jonesing for a fig”
Strawberry
Glycerine – Bush
“When we rise, it’s like strawberry fields”
BONUS – A Pointed Stick
–Yeah, I couldn’t find one, but Google could—
Chill Factor – Theatre of Ice
–I’ve never heard of it either–
BONUS 2 – Peaches
–I’ll see your peaches, Matt and Rebecca–
Space Cowboy – Steve Miller Band
“Really love your peaches, want to shake your tree”
“Orange Crush” actually refers to Agent Orange from the Vietnam War, not the fruit orange from the drink. So, I am calling foul. Give us another orange that is the fruit, LOL!
Fine then Matt, how about I use “Coconut” by Nilsson for Lime, so that I can use Bright Eyes’ “Bowl of Oranges?”
“…we’d stand staring in awe at our still lives posed like a bowl of oranges.”
–OR–
How about the song “Apples and Oranges” by YOUR FAVORITE BAND EVER?
