Play with your food. Or rather, play it. The First Vienna Vegetable Orchestra creates a unique sound using instruments made from vegetables. Then, they make soup.

They should get together with these guys. Now that's an orchestra!

I really liked this idea until I listened to their MP3s. Yikes.

I hope that they empty the spit valve in their tuber before the grand finale. Ick.

I'm with you, Joey, although their choice of relatively annoying skronk-jazz (which they'd probably be doing even if they used non-chlorophyl instruments) may be the real reason for your "Yikes" reaction.

I'm thinking vegetable hip hop.
