+Elissa Hallem just called me out on stressing the wrong syllable of "nectarine". For whatever reason I happened to say "NECtarine" instead of "nectarINE". While looking it up in the dictionary (it lists only the latter version) and wondering whether there is some valid linguistic principle at work here or whether I just made a mistake, I thought of this song.

Nobody eats a lemon because lemons are sour.

"Don't eat a lemon; it might make you sick."

Well, necatrines are the same color as peaches, but texture-wise they are more like plums. So technically speaking, Joe is right.

genius songwriting isnt it, they really knew how to get through to kids.

So, I haven't seen this in 18 years or so. I started singing it right after "What do you do with...". It all came back to me!

Haha! You're right. A nectarine is chemically identical to a peach. The only difference is the lack of fuzz. Also, nectarines tend to be a little more firm and a little sweeter than a peach. Hey, I also take lemons to keep from getting sick. They area a great boost of Vitamin C, they help you salivate more to assist in rinsing your sinus cavities of toxins, and the citric acid changes the pH balance of your saliva, which helps to eliminate certain illness causing bacteria. Right on!

Well, I remember it acutely from my childhood, so much that I could sing along to a bit of it after, oh, 17 years? And I was born in 86, so that depends on how much they were rerunning shows back in the day. Wtf happened to the charm sesame street used to have?

A nectarine is not a cross between a peach and a plum, like he says. Also, I eat lemons all the time, and I think they actually prevent me from getting sick. Hahaha. I love to eat lemons.

I remember this song very well. Especially the squirt in your eye part.

To this day every time I eat most types of fruit it creates a mess most five-year-olds would scold me for...and I think of this song and laugh. :)

I totally remember this. Must have been from either the 70's or at least the early 80's. In this song Joe Raposo reminds me of John Valby. If you do not know John Valby he is a piano player who puts dirty lyrics in popular music. He is hilarious.

Molly Seldon

if you have a dirty mind this song is quite funny! :D
