More music for j00

[petronia]

Couldn't scrape together the ten minutes necessary to post this until now. ;_; I wanted to call this the "Fruit Flavours" FST, but really it's more like "Italian Soda Fountain Flavours" FST. Or something. Help me out. Of course I could post it to the comm as "FST for this one Juuni Kokki-related discussion on my flist that JUST WON'T DIE", but that would be wrong of me. :D

I, er, forgot that May has 31 days, so you have until tomorrow to suggest/send me songs for fruits I don't have (rampantly sexual metaphors are best). Although no artist repeats, or really this would've been 50/50 Spitz and Chara already.

01. Oranges & Lemons - Raspberry Heaven
02. Gackt - Marmalade
03. Spitz - Cherry
04. Deee-Lite - Apple Juice Kissing
05. SweetS - Tear 'Lemon' Drop
06. Kylie Minogue - Chocolate
07. Hirai Ken - Strawberry Sex
08. Lio - Banana Split
09. Suzanne Vega - Caramel
10. Bonnie Pink - Passion Fruit
11. Hyde - Sweet Vanilla
12. Beck - Peaches & Cream
13. Love Psychedelico - Grapefruits
14. Fiona Apple - Slow Like Honey
15. Cocco - Sweet Berry Kiss
16. Chara + Yuki - Ai no hi mittsu orenji

It sounds kind of like Ice Cream flavors.

Downloading all except 9 and 14. This is so cute. And tasty. And possibly sexy, when I bother to look up the lyrics. Thank you. =D

As for other songs - I don't know how picky you are, but ... "These Apples" by Barenaked Ladies, "Orange Crush" by REM, "Grow You a Mango Tree" by Jaia Suri. I can send you any of those, if you like. ^_^

[petronia.livejournal.com]

Would you please? ^_^; petronia at gmail dot com.

Although not a sexual metaphor by any means, would you like either the original or a cover of Strange Fruit by Billie Holliday? :)

[petronia.livejournal.com]

starlighter sent them to me yesterday, thanks. XD I'd actually never heard that song before.

[verstehen.livejournal.com]

Anytime! Billie's great and that song's one of my favorite songs. :D

eheh ... stuck on raspberries?

[fantabulous.livejournal.com]

How about Prince - "Raspberry Beret"?

Ooh, and I don't know if you're too into Tori Amos (cos I can't remember you ever posting any of her stuff) but "Raspberry Swirl" fits the sexual innuendo/metaphor thing too. :-/ And it's not a bad song. I can burn you a copy if ye like. =)

Re: eheh ... stuck on raspberries?

[petronia.livejournal.com]

I have "Raspberry Swirl" (and I do quite like that track). It's the Prince one I don't have. XD

Re: eheh ... stuck on raspberries?

[fantabulous.livejournal.com]

Here ye go:

Prince: "Raspberry Beret" (http://s18.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2KQE4AQ26PHWA3LMJJYYQVXDS4)

Yay for 80s CHEESE! ;-)

[motorbike.livejournal.com]

THAT'S DIRRRRTAY. I like it.

ERM?
Sandra Lou - Banana Split
Shonen knife - Hot Chocolate
Party Animals - Sugar Sugar (Archies Cover)
Apples in Stereo - Strawberryfire
(or purely instrumental: Black Bottom Brass Band - Strawberry Dance Hour)
Jesus & Mary Chain - Just Like Honey
Alana Davis - 32 Flavors (Ani DiFranco Cover)

[motorbike.livejournal.com]

OK YOU KNOW WHAT. The Sandra Lou track is obviously the other version of the one you already have. Eh. Heh.

[one-if-by-land.livejournal.com]

...This mix is so amazing. XD

[cerisier.livejournal.com]

I'm guessing you're familiar with most of these already, but I thought I'd mention them in case they slipped by.

Top rec:
Kate Bush - Eat the Music
(...it has, among other fruits, pomegranates. Assuming the discussion you're referring to is the one on *my* flist, there should definitely be pomegranates.)

Others:
Poe - Lemon Meringue
hide - LEMONed I Scream
Masami Okui - Strawberry Fields
Buck-Tick - Black Cherry, Kimi no Vanilla, Chocolate, 21st Century Boy (worth a listen regardless of the mix XD)

Much more sugary:
Hideaki Matsuoka - Strawberry Kiss Kiss
Megumi Kojima - Fruits Candy

Looking forward to giving everything a listen later. ^_^

Ooh songs I don't have

[petronia.livejournal.com]

Don't suppose you'd be able to send me the Kate Bush (well, if it has pomegranates I feel duty-bound to track it down XD) and the Buck-Tick, would you? ♥

[vonbrigthi.livejournal.com]

downloaded, danke.

uh, hm, don't known any more fruit songs featuring non-used fruits, although, there IS Tom Waits' Ice Cream Man!

oo, maybe Martin Hall's Tangerine Girl and Burning Sugar, but they're not particularly sexual (i think...). um.

[canis-m.livejournal.com]

"Lime in the Coconut," which I do not have in digital format but will go find RIGHT NOW as am horrified that I don't.

I used to have a "Tangerine" by Do As Infinity or similar, but not anymore, apparently. ^^;

(What, has the flavors thread risen again?)

[canis-m.livejournal.com]

p.s. Turns out the song I was thinking of is just called "Coconut." By Harry Nilsson. But there's lime in it, too. It is wacky yet somehow sexy, and was covered at one point by Kermit the Frog and the Muppets, although I wouldn't suggest using that version.

[helvetius.livejournal.com]

What? No "Cherry Lips" from Garbage? ^^;

The Eel's "Fresh Feeling"? Not technically a fruit song, but hey!

[petronia.livejournal.com]

I dunno? I've never actually thought of that one as a fruit song per se, although it is fruity. *pause* Har har!

[marici.livejournal.com]

Goldfrapp's Black Cherry?

[petronia.livejournal.com]

You wouldn't be able to gmail it to me, would ye? XD
