The Peanut and the Pea

[Erin K]

I used to sit in the back of Math class and draw pictures of my teacher, a fat guy allergic to all synthetic fabrics, so he had to wear green hospital smocks to prevent him from breaking out in a rash...at least that's what we were told. I was going through some of these drawings and I found a sketch I had started for a comic titled "The Adventures of the Purple Peanut", a story about an outcast peanut who was didn't fit in because he looked different (he was actually purple because he was covered in mold). Anyway, I took this story a step further and made a song about him. Please have a listen.

The story of the peanut and the pea is one of two food rejects finding each other, falling in love and then having to make the difficult decision of whether to stay together, knowing that such a decision will result in both their deaths (eaten by mold).
