I've certainly enjoyed making music with vegetables. Except that they tend to drool on the rehearsal room carpet and can be somewhat unresponsive when it's time to discuss the finer points of performance style and practice. But they don't complain about the lousy pay, and that's a definite plus.

Seconding (thirding) the praise for the perfect title.

I logged in exclusively to favorite this post, which I did before reading any of the links, because of its title. I am now posting a comment (and thus rendering my previous sentence partially inaccurate) about this to further emphasize the greatness of said title.

I once saw a video of a woman making beautiful music with a cucumber.

I'll be really impressed when someone makes an instrument out of meat.

Weird. I totally searched! At least I have 2 other bands on my post so it's not a complete dupe though.

How about Meat Loaf? I also seem to remember a record called Meat the Beatles.

p.s. Yes, a wonderful post title. (Although the original group Wild Cherry was more a fruit than a vegetable.)

You can get some interesting sounds by using your body as a percussion instrument, just watch Animal House.
