A 1967 Hit for Your Fall Garden Playlist: Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie by Jay & The Techniques

"If you're looking for something catchy and sweet for your fall playlist in the garden, consider adding Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie."

September 24, 1967

On this day, the song Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie by Jay & The Techniques reached number 8 on the Top 40 music charts.

The lyrics are a throwback to a childhood expression,

Apples, peaches, pumpkin pie
Who's not ready? Holler 'I'

When the song was pitched to the group in Maf 1966, the band's drummer hung up on the suggestion.

He wasn't too excited about singing about fruit and pumpkin pie.

After they recorded the song, an Atlantic City radio station featured the song in a contest, and the song took off.

By the fall of 1967, the band performed the song on the Ed Sullivan Show.

If you're looking for something catchy and sweet for your fall playlist in the garden, consider adding Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie.

But I will warn you if you haven't heard it before, it's a total earworm.
