Dear GYA, I guess "Cherry Pie" by Warrant counts and there's also The Beatles "Strawberry Fields" and I suppose "Tangerine" by Led Zepplin is solid, but I think the all-time best song about fruit has to be "Peaches" by The Presidents of the United States of America.

Area 51 sits at the intersection of pop culture and cutting-edge tattoo art.
Dear GYA, Goin to Ziggy Marley at The Depot tonight for one reason and one reason alone, to groove to the Zig Man's all-time best track, "Believe in Yourself." I don't care that it's the theme song from the '90s kid's cartoon, Arthur.
