"I heard it through the grapevine..."

Wait—grapevines are not trees!

[Marduk]

Was gonna point that out myself, Katya. I think C is for was a bit confusing when she said tree fruits, but then gave the false assumption that that only discluded berries.

Well, it's not like "I heard it on the grapevine" is 8 words or anything.

[Marduk]

"Millions of peaches, peaches for me. Millions of peaches, peaches for free."

Edit: Presidents of the USA, "Peaches"

Yeah, I thought I'd leave that up to you to enforce.

"Two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree."
--"12 Days of Christmas"

Nooooo!

Fine, then, I'll use my backup song:

"We all want a figgy pudding, we all want a figgy pudding, we all want a figgy pudding"
-"We Wish You a Merry Christmas"

Darn you!! I was completely going to use that one today. Luckily I thought of this backup:

"One banana two banana three banana four, four bananas make a bunch and so do many more"
the Tra-La-La- Song, Banana Split, by Ralph's World

This means, I believe, that Banana is out for the count. Don't nobody go using bananas as your song anymore.

Hey! That's my backup song!

And, just for fun, I'd like to sing a little song from a computer game:
Yes, we have no bananas. We have no bananas today!

What computer game? This song is an actual classic found in Readers Digest Songbooks because of its timelessly quirky nature. It's one of the Songs of the Century, even.

[Dead Cat]

I can't remember the title, but it was a cartoon churchish game. I think it was a Book of Mormon one and if you clicked one of the fruit stands, this cartoony voice would sing that song.

Don't figs grow on shrubs, not trees?

Don't figs grow on shrubs, not trees?

Apparently some plants can become either shrubs or trees, and the common fig (Ficus carica) is one such plant.

"Oranges and lemons say the bells of St. Clement's."

Lemon is out for the count. It is not recommended that anyone try to use lemon as their fruit of choice.
