Strange fruit (II)

A couple of more fruits

COCONUTS
Songs: “Coconut”, Fever ray; “Koko”, Ween; “Nickee Coco & the Invisible tree”, Of Montreal; “I’m a cuckoo”, Belle & Sebastian
Albums: “I should coco”, Supergrass;
Band: Coco Rosie, although I DO NOT LIKE THEM @ all
Random: I go coo-coo for cocoa pops
People: Coco - Brett’s girlfriend from Flight Of The Conchords. Although I think I prefer Jemaine over Brett. GLASSES R SEXY. I still have 2 watch the 2nd season

Ok, I’m aware mosta these are “coco” not coconut, but “coco” is the word in Spanish. & Cuckoo is not coco but…oh well, it sounds similar : P



KIWIS
Songs: “Kiwi”, Maroon 5; “Kiwi maddog 20 20”, Elliot Smith
Random: Richey Edwards had the theory that kiwis could cure a hangover. This is the only related quote I have.

“…the much-documented Garden festival in Belgium in 1994, when Richey fell asleep on James’ foot during Life Becoming A Landslide. We did a gig in the afternoon & another at night, so Richey had to peak twice, drinking-wise. He had a theory that if he had a kiwi fruit & half a bottle of whisky, everything would be alright. He was asleep for a good 5-6 minutes” - Nicky Wire

Fell asleep onstage...on James' foot?! Passed out seems more likely!
I haven’t tried this "home remedy" but ppl who have say IT DON’T WORK : P
Y AM I NOT SURPRIZED. Kiwis curing hangover. 4 someone as smart as Richey that's a kinda silly idea, innit? But we all have silly ideas. I have my fair share, anyways XD
