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.

I hope you’re not honestly advocating a Prince song over the choices I’ve made.
