Top five songs named after fruits

Jump to Comments

I’m pretty fuzzy at the moment, which means I’m not exactly capable of providing you with thoughtful essays about Grand Theft Auto IV or The Vogue tonight. What I can do is supply you with a bunch of YouTube videos. Without further ado or explanation, here is my list of the top five songs named after fruits, perhaps the most underrated food group of all.

5. ” Peaches” - Presidents of the United States of America

4. “Banana Co.” - Radiohead

3. “The Lemon Song” - Led Zeppelin

2. “Strawberry Fields Forever” - The Beatles

1. “Tangerine” - Led Zeppelin

It’s worth noting that two of these ace songs come courtesy of Led Zeppelin. Robert Plant was truly the king of “food-as-sex” metaphors. If you don’t believe me, listen to the Zeppelin B-side, “Young Cherries with Juicy Melons.”  

It can be found on the band’s rarities collection, Euphemisms Are Always Funny Regardless of Context.
