Pun Fun 2: The Contenders

Voting is now open for Pun Fun 2. Readers were challenged to adapt a song title with a fruit or vegetable related pun. Collectively they have contributed some excellent produce. It has been like Harvest Festival here at Leggies HQ this week.

I am particularly pleased to welcome four first-time punsters: Martin, Mister F, Pete From Minnesota and The Swede. I hope your efforts bear fruit (or vegetables as applicable).  

Voting is open to all readers not just those of you who entered. Let me know your top three in order of preference. I'll then award 5 points for your first choice, 3 for second and 1 for third.

You can either submit your votes in the comments section or email them to leggies27@hotmail.co.uk if you prefer to preserve the sanctity of the secret ballot. 

The deadline is next Sunday (14 December) and we will announce the results a week today. 

Here are the contenders, listed alphabetically by artist. 

  1. Guava Little Love - Bay City Rollers
  2. Lettucey - The Beatles
  3. Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Zucchini - Brian Hyland
  4. Beet Beet Beet - The Damned 
  5. The Aubergine Genie - David Bowie
  6. Onion of the Snake - Durian Durian
  7. Kumquat May - Ewan McGregor & Nicole Kidman
  8. I Yam What I Yam - Gloria Gaynor
  9. Changes in Lettuces, Changes in Attitudes - Jimmy Buffett
  10. The Return Of The Los Palm Hearts 7 - Madness
  11. I'd Like To Peach The World To Sing - The New Seekers
  12. Hang On To Your Mango - The Peach Boys
  13. My Cherry Amour - Stevie Wonder
  14. Life Durian Wartime - Talking Heads
  15. Sprout - Tears For Fears

Exercise your vote wisely and remember to join us next Monday when we will reveal who's the top banana. Whoever it is, it definitely won't be Juanita, Lorna or Nana as they forgot to enter.

"Juanita Banana" - Vicent

"Lorna Banana" - Junior Byles

"Nana Banana" - U Roy

  3. Glam is usually a good hunting ground for this kind of stuff; can’t believe I never got T Rex / Solid Gold Peasy Action.

  4. I nearly went with JJ Kale / Plantain.
    It scans, but it’s clearly not a pun. Or is it?
    However, plantains are definitely part of your 5 a day. Cocaine is not. Unless you’re Keith Richards.

    2nd: 15
    3rd: 11
