"Peaches" is a song by American alternative rock band The Presidents of the United States of America for their self-titled debut studio album. The track was produced by American producer Conrad Uno. The song was released worldwide as the third single from ''The Presidents of the United States of America''. It peaked at #29 on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart and #8 on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart.〔Stovall, Natasha: "UP AND COMING: The Presidents of the United States of America; At Home in Seattle, Cheerfully Singing Against the Current", The New York Times, April 21, 1996.〕 The band members have acknowledged that "Peaches" borrows riffs from Bad Company's 1975 song "Feel Like Makin' Love".〔Strauss, Neil: "Simplicity and Also Crunch", The New York Times, November 21, 1995.〕 Thematically, "Peaches" also seems to reference John Prine's 1971 song "Spanish Pipedream" ("move to the country / build you a home. Plant a little garden / eat a lot of peaches") though this might just be coincidence. In 1996, "Peaches" was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.〔"ALBUMS, SOUNDTRACKS: PRESIDENTS ON THE RECORD", The Seattle Times, January 30, 1998.〕 ==Song meaning== Lead singer Chris Ballew has stated that he wrote "Peaches" about a girl he once had a crush on. He allegedly wrote this song after sitting under a peach tree she had in her yard while waiting for her to arrive, to finally let her know that he liked her.〔VH1: "Greatest Songs of the 90's", December 2007〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peaches (The Presidents of the United States of America song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
