What songs do you want to hear for today's coffee break?

We've been discussing the whole #Grapegate issue this morning. Quick recap: New York Times put out a list of the "traditional" dishes for Thanksgiving in each state and Minnesota was represented with a warm grape salad. Minnesotans would not let that happen without taking a stand, and thus, "Grape Gate" was born.

We thought we would let you create your own fruit salad with today's Coffee Break. What fruit songs do you want to hear? We'll take your song selections and probably make a better sounding salad than the one in the New York Times article.

Songs Played:

Nilsson - "Coconut"

The Presidents of the United States of America - "Peaches"

Darlene Love - "Marshmallow World"

The Runaways - "Cherry Bomb"

Squeeze - "Tempted"

Beck - "Peaches and Cream"
