SONGS BEFORE 1980 WITH FRUIT(S)IN THEIR NAMES THAT WERE HITS IN THE U.S. OR THE U.K.

1. Cherry, Cherry - Neil Diamond (1966)

2. Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie ~ Jay and the Techniques (1967)

3. Lemon Tree - Trini Lopez (1964)

4. One Bad Apple ~ The Osmonds (1970)

5. Strawberry Fields Forever--The Beatles (1967)

6. Put The Lime In The Coconut - Harry Nilsson (1971)

I changed the title to the Harry Nilsson song.

The song's title is "Coconut".

Okay, I know this one is a bit tougher, so we'll widen it to include 'Mother' or 'Father', but not just 'Baby' or 'Child' - has to be 'son' or 'daughter' . :)

Some great ones there again. I haven't heard 'Brother Louie' for a while. I just found it on one of my 'Best Of' 70s' CDs and I'm playing it now. Thanks Jenny. :headphones:
