Camper Van Beethoven - All Her Favorite Fruit

[laughjohnlaugh]

Today: this is my favorite and most melancholy CVB song -

[vivelavidarocka]

Tomorrow!!! Here in New York Fuckin' City....!!!!!

[labyrinthcorridor]

this song will forever remind me of simpler and more beautiful times in my life & the man who was my best friend, co-worker and constant companion..of cooking his favorite dinner, which (at the time) was precisely as described in the lyrics. still brings me to tears after all these years.

[EvaMater]

Excelente banda

I wore my KLP tape out back in the day from playing it so much and this song was a big reason why. Such a subtle little classic with hypnotic guitar work. The verses around the "she pulls her dress over her head" are my top fav. Anyway, CVB is solely responsible for a musical awakening in me in college in eighties prior to which my musical taste was sh!t.. No one I knew back them listened to them.

[sigmund5]

I can't think of a better love song. It didn't work on the first woman I wanted to marry but it was for the best.

[apemanstreetwalker]

Wow I forgot how good this is....The guitar work is just amazing.

[Oldshirt]

Complete musical perfection. 

[jonzot]

Has been my favourite song since the late 80's. Classic CVB.

[MentalTeleprosy]

The absolute greatest love song ever written.

[alwaysengines]

The greatness of song sneaks up on you. I saw CVB at the Starry Plow in Berkeley, CA in 1986. Have loved them ever since

[troyerthedestroyer]

'With corn' .. awesome

[pjbaldes]

the day i hear this playing out the window of a blue volvo is the day...

[mcnameeg]

One of my favorite albums of all time!!

[MissMz555]

such a good song. thank you camper van. I madeout with your bass player once. it was great too.

[seandeeify]

With CORN!!!!!! Roommate came home after hearing this on a mix he put together and raved about the fact that the word corn was used. I rank this as one of my fave love song, regardless of the questionable subject.

[pjbaldes]

I got in an argument with my brother about his copy of this album on a key lime colored tape, it was his, but I wanted/needed it more than anything.....

heart breaking. wish more people knew this album and band.

[7714808]

CVB opening for REM back in the day - wished CVB played more.

[sigmund5]

This is prolly my favorite CVB song. Lyrically their most complicated song.

[TheRuncible]

@sigmund5

Have you listened to any other CVB songs? Cuz this is far from their most complicated. To me, it's a pretty straight forward, sweet, and touching love song....

[kostiner]

thanks for this video bro

[PostmodLovegod]

A sweet and even sexy song, the yin-yang mysteries of Eros

[sigmund5]

Wow, CVB and Modest Mouse...damn

[lapdog1970]

im with ya bro! too bad more people dont "get it" i would consider it a great loss. I almost wouldnt be me if i had never heard this before.

[TheRuncible]

I agree totally with that sentiment lapdog. To think, this came out TWENTY YEARS AGO, and it still gives me goose bumps whenever I listen to it.

Going to see the combo Cracker/Camper show in Chicago in January--I'm beside myself with excitement...

[heywally]

Saw them as the opening act for Dire Straits in 1986 or 87 at SDSU in San Diego. They had so many great songs ...

[idkmybff4]

i love camper van beethoven awesome in concert saw them with modest mouse best concert ever

[BlanksPL]

@idkmybff4 Those are two of my favorite bands ever, never knew they played together. Wish I saw that.

[lcacwelder]

@idkmybff4 That sounds awesome. Saw Cracker at Belly up in Del mar Ca Still would like to see Camper one day.

[theoriginaljeffro]

@idkmybff4 i was there to see Modest Mouse and ended up a bigger CVB fan. They put on a better show, too.

[Bluefalcon3]

@idkmybff4 WHEN WAS THIS?! That would be like The Doors and The Beatles doing a concert together!!!!
