I'm gonna be round my vegetables
I'm gonna chow down my vegetables
I love you most of all
my favorite vegetable…
So sang The Beach Boys in their song "Vegetables." Beatle Paul McCartney joined the band to chew raw vegetables for percussion effects on the recording. The unusual result ended up on The Beach Boys' album Smiley Smile. Have a listen!

The Vegetable Orchestra is an Austrian musical group that uses instruments made entirely from fresh vegetables. The group consists of ten musicians, one cook, and one sound engineer. A concert of the Vegetable Orchestra appeals to all the senses. As an encore at the end of the concert and the video performance, the audience is offered fresh vegetable soup.

Have a listen to their vegetunes!

And…two brothers in China have caught the vegetable music bug. They've carved out an odd career, turning vegetables into musical instruments. The creative pair began their craft two years ago and spend most of their time scouring food stalls for the perfect pieces.

I'm never going to look at the veggies on my plate the same way again!
