Isn't That Just Peachy

As requested by Muse-Zach's sexiest subscriber, today we will be looking at songs that mention that most delicous of fruits, the peach. That's right peeps go to your crisper, grab that glob of fruity goodness and mellow out to these ripe peach offerings.

This fist gem comes all the way back from 1996, hey you remember the 90's right? "Peaches" recorded by The Presidents of the United States of America (or just Presidents) is without a doubt the most famous full-on peaches song. The song was nominated for a grammy and even wound up on Rock Band. Proably made pretty awesome because of the stolen riffs from Bad Company's "Feel Like Making Love" (the band admitts this), writer Chris Ballew was supposedly inspired to write the song after sitting under a peach tree to tell a girl he liked her. Nice.

Saw these guys at college my first year, they fucking blew me away. Remember that scene from Animal House were Belushi and the boys rock out to "Shout". Yeah, we did the same shit, except for the togas.

So we all know Steve Miller and his band, the inspiringly named Steve Miller Band, are fucking awesome and full of classic rock uber goodness, no debate warranted. And we all know that without a doubt their greatest contribution to rock and roll was the 1969 out of this world single "Space Cowboy". And I know, dear reader, that you already know that this song is filled with amazingly awesome and hilarious lyrics, and luckily our fruit of the day is lovingly mentioned.


John Prine is one of the greatest singer songwriters living. On this 1971 ode, Prine describes the advise a stripper gives to a army private on how to live his life. Funny, catchy, and while most likely unattainable to the modern man, Prine's life scenario of course involves eating plently of peaches. Feed them to your youngens too.

The other night when I saw John at the DECC, he opened with this.

So from here I was faced with having to comb through millions of songs that simply mention peaches......yeah so far it's not going well. But I did find some interesting stuff

Peaches, is a Canadian electronic singer with backing band Sweet Machine. She does some interesting things with music and videos. Start here:

Weird right, it gets weirder.

Whoa...um...hey Iggy. This Peaches chick is pretty interesting.

Would have figured Andy would have handled the situation a little differently, oh well.


A metal band that opened for Tool back in the day. Tool even covers this song (better than original) and Justin Chancellar left Peach to join Tool in 1995.

Can you believe that James and the Giant Peach was actually a banned book. Dam.
