Vegetable medley — Music to live by (Pt. 1)

( )

There is a lot to love about vegetables, including the plethora of songs about them. Take a look below to see The Packer's picks of top vegetable tunes. 

1. Let's Call the Whole Thing off — Fred Astaire

"You like potato and I like poTAHto, you like tomato and I like toMAHtoe" — I mean classic, right? This song was originally written for the 1937 film "Shall we Dance." This song will make anyone tap their toes and remember the good ol' days.
 

2. Artichoke — Charming Disaster

This song is upbeat and catchy, with an ominous undertone. The artichoke, a mischievous little vegetable (actually a type of thistle), is a very fitting subject for the melody. 

3. Homegrown Tomatoes — John Denver

This song is remenicent of simpler times and will make anyone miss summer. 

4. Vegetable Man — Pink Floyd

Everyone needs a little 'emo'-tional music every now and then. This song hits all the highs and lows of life.

5. The Onion Song — Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell

There are a lot of songs going around about this popular vegetable. Hopefully this song will not make you cry like the onions it refers to.
