I remember when I was young, like 10, and I was watching this video and hearing the song and relating it to the burning of the Amazon that was much in the news then (we've gotten that under control, right?) but I still get that "green" vibe. It's Feed The Tree by Belly and I thought then that the song was about some environmentalists going out to feed trees. If there is a sexual connotation or subtext in the lyrics then I'm incredibly naive but...I think I need a little innocence in my life.
This old man I've talked about
Broke his own heart,
Poured it in the ground.
Big red tree grew up and out,
Throw up its leaves,
Spins round and round.
I know all this and more.
So take your hat off
When you're talking to me
And be there when I feed the tree.
This little squirrel I used to be
Slammed her bike down the stairs.
They put silver where her teeth had been.
Baby silvertooth,she grins and grins.
I know all this and more.
So take your hat off boy
When you're talking to me
And be there when I feed the tree.
Take your hat off boy
When you're talking to me
And be there when I feed the tree.
This old man I used to be
Spins around, around, around the tree.
Silver baby come to me.
I'll only hurt you in my dreams.
I know all this and...
I know all this and...
I know all this and more.
So take your hat off boy
When you're talking to me
And be there when I feed the tree.
Take your hat off
When you're talking to me
And be there when I feed the tree.
But either way it has such a fun melody and a really catchy chorus that lodges itself firmly in that part of your brain that stores music and won't shake free.
So here from 1993 a true "one hit wonder", Your Stuck in My Head Song of the Day, Feed The Tree by Belly
