I'm in 'drinking songs' mode for the RPM Challenge, so Half Empty/Half Full is a fat pitch right across the plate. Hope I can hit it.

"...Tomatoes' status as an aphrodisiac may be due to a mistranslation. Legend has it a Frenchman on his travels ate a meal with tomatoes in it and was fascinated with the new taste. He went back to the chef, who was Italian, and asked him what this new ingredient was. The chef said "Pomme de Maure" (Apple of the Moors), but the Frenchman misunderstood and thought he said "Pomme d'amour" (apple of love). The modern Italian word for tomato however is "pomodoro", which means "golden apple". Also, there is no plausible connection of the tomato to the Moors."http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomato

warning: my tomato song has about as much to do with a tomato than the smashing pumpkin's song mayonaise has to do with mayonaise. if i wasn't knee deep in fawm, i'd have time to think of something more clever (like i did for mr. sandwich), but as it is, my first idea was the one i developed. back to fawming...

yeah, what he said. You'll be lucky if I get time to polish up the vox.

I hope Doug Martsch doesn't hear this song.
