Animal Collective - Applesauce Lyrics






I eat a mango and I'm feeling like a little honey can roll
Star fruit so simple and I'm feeling like a little honey can roll
How could I feel so-so when I'm feeling like a little honey can roll
Tart but not total and I'm feeling like a little honey can roll

When I was young I thought fruit was an infinite thing
I'd be sad to wake up and find all of my cherries are charred or they're rotted to ruin

It seems we all can't last
Oh Pink Lady your days so distinguished are a movement so fluid
So smooth against my palm
Reminisce of the days when they all praised your sweet Red Delicious

When a farmer picks a good thing (When you think you don't know you don't know what comes next)
Then a kid he picks a good thing (When you think you don't know you don't know what comes next)
Then a chef she makes a good thing (When you think you don't know you don't know what comes next)
Then a mayor eats a good thing (When you think you don't know you don't know what comes next)

Ripe and whole we can move outside us

Take for me take for me pictures of valleys with lemons hung
Dangling dangling they will be released every little piece does make a one
Brown on the ground can you show me a way I can simplify
Comfort me comfort me after the battles and sleepless nights

I'm just a rush
Rush to blow upon the fire
You're just a rush
Rush to blow open my mind

I eat a mango and I'm feeling like a little honey can roll
Star fruit so simple and I'm feeling like a little honey can roll
How could I feel so-so when I'm feeling like a little honey can roll
Tart but not total and I'm feeling like a little honey can roll

When I want fruit I can find it wherever I please
What if I crack my eyes and find dudes on the street waiting in lines or scrounging for berries?

I'm losing things so fast
One day maybe I'll have a cool kid with a Granny but I don't have a pose for applesauce on clothes
Reminisce of the days when my mom made it all seem delicious

When a farmer picks a good thing (When you think you don't know you don't know what comes next)
Then a kid he picks a good thing (When you think you don't know you don't know what comes next)
Then a chef she makes a good thing (When you think you don't know you don't know what comes next)
Then a mayor eats a good thing (When you think you don't know you don't know what comes next)

Ripe and whole we can move outside us

Take for me take for me pictures of valleys with lemons hung
Dangling, dangling they will be released every little piece does make a one
Brown on the ground can you show me a way I can simplify
Comfort me, comfort me after the battles and sleepless nights

I'm just a rush
Rush to blow upon the fire
You're just a rush
Rush to blow open my mind

Why should I rush?
Rush to blow upon the fire
Why do I rush?
Rush to blow upon the fire

One the eagle
Two the noble
Three the lizard
Four the soul

    big boi poop

  4. J.... C....

    This video is so deep. Not only watching it in the dark is wonderful it's amazing. If you know the words to this then this video has it's point. I eat a mango and I feel a little honey can roll...this's awesome and culturally beautiful.

    J.... C....

    Next Level Beyond Words

    #HAMPARTE

  6. B.... F....

    Gaspar Noe fucked Animal Collective

  7. B.... F....

    sweet song🍎🍏🍐🍊🍋🍈🍓⭐️🍇🍉🍌🍒🍑🍍🥥🥝

  8. R.... ....

    Sometimes you just gotta write a love song about fruit

  9. m.... ....

    that chorus is really beautiful.

  10. m.... ....

    one of my favorite AC songs to be sure!

  11. R.... T....

    Gaspar Noé: OK Domino, let's talk about budget...
    Domino records: Slide a peace of paper across the table...
    Gaspar Noé: Say no more, Barbara bring me the mango please, while putting his phone on "airplane" and open the cam+ app

  12. K.... L....

    Best porn video ever

  13. z.... s....

    I love this song, it's so cute, catchy and nostalgic with really nice imagery. Can't say the same for the video though, lol.

  14. R.... ....

    Good song, bad music video.

  15. M.... ....

    I hope someone gave her a napkin after this.

  16. M.... M....

    This video is fucking gross. Colorful and shot great, but, gross. There. I said it. Something negative about Gaspar Noé. I'll take my crown now as "THAT asshole"

  17. A.... A....

    why is there a mango in a song called applesauce

    A.... A....

    The whole song is about fruit and an allegory of smoking a joint. Also the lyrics start with "I eat a mango..." so...

  18. R.... C....

    Love this song, love this video! Visually overwhelming.

  19. I.... M....

    I had forgotten about this!

    Ah man, animal collective

  20. D.... K....

    wow, gonna try that in complete darkness.

  21. B.... ....

    they've going at it since 2000 and still are making great music I love them

  22. M.... N....

    Avey Tare is such a poet...

  23. C.... *....

    has anyone else watched this in a completely dark room? it makes all the difference tbh. that pink-mauve color in the background is amazing.

    C.... *....

    alldayHK doing that currently and it’s awesome it really takes you inside the video

  24. G.... G....

    gaspar noe is great

  25. M.... M....

    This reminds me of the boring quality of the Lorde's production of "Tennis Court". Also my favorite song on her album, due to the complex lyrics which create vivid imagery. This ruins all that.

    M.... M....

    Melody Minx You should make a video for this.

    M.... M....

    Honestly this is one of my all time favorite Animal Collective songs, I just don't like how it doesn't transition throughout, like the song does. It's just one image the whole time, which dulls down the words and the tempo of the song. Not hating on the song, just the video. I don't think it even necessarily needs a video, just close your eyes and let your imagination do the trick.

  26. M.... M....

    Oversimplified music videos like this ruin the songs dynamic and constantly transitioning tones! Are they just lazy or think they're being smart? :p Anyway, this is my favorite song on the album regardless.

  27. T.... ....

    bulbasaur!
    bulbasaur!
    bulbasaur!
    bulbasaur!

  28. F.... ....

    I want to hear this sung by serj tankian.

    F.... ....

    That would be nice actually

    F.... ....

    Now that I've read your comment, this version just seems like a worse version of what could have been.

    F.... ....

    Lmao why did this song remind you of him? That'd really be great though

  29. F.... K....

    I know its a little too late but... Siezure warning....

  30. K.... L....

    i had a seizure halfway thru what happened?

    K.... L....

    It's a alien. It's a alien fruit. The albums concept is a alien radio.

    P.... ....

    +Errorlypse The TV oh ok that makes sense... I guess the "fruit" is alien to us & we're just not suppose to know, hmm.

    P.... ....

    Wait, now that I gave it another watch & since then have discovered a new fruit to me which I tried for the first time, I figured it out... It's a persimmon!! +Errorlypse The TV

    link doesnt work but can you repost i wanna see this

    S.... B....

    yeah this, thats actually pretty weird to think about lol

  52. G.... F....

    Revelation, Gaspar Noé is a GOD

  53. W.... S....

    Directed by Gaspar Noe.

    W.... S....

    Irreversible was a disturbing masterpiece. Enter the Void was a jolting, too intense, marijuana viewing experience.

    W.... S....

    +SONA CRUZ LOVE was pure nonsense though and hardly even fap worthy material unfortunately.

    W.... S....

    @Ξενος Αγγελος
    Hardly even fap worthy material? If you wanted to fap watch something else.

    I eat a mango and I'm feeling like a little honey can roll

    D.... B....

    Thanks for posting the lyrics!

  55. B.... ....

    can anyone please post the lyrics? i cant understand a word

  56. B.... G....

    pasa tragando todo el puto video uheuhajja la munchies

  57. C.... B....

    Metaphor.

  58. B.... W....

    My eyes hated it, but my ears loved it

  59. B.... ....

    I don't care if it was directed by Gaspar Noe featuring Lindsey Wixson with elements from Paul Sharits' 1968 short film "N:O:T:H:I:N:G". This is an uninspired piece of garbage. It's so bad that it has to build itself up in the descripition. I watched it in the dark....And I was still disgusted. Great song though.

    B.... ....

    @FueledByPopSicles Will Same for me, it was disgusting... The song is great, though!

    B.... ....

    +Elfen Ignis Yeah, I agree.. This is a video featuring flashing epileptic flashing and a woman with plump lips eating a mango at an irritatingly slow pace. I don't see the appeal or it's relation to the song.

    B.... ....

    +RiskyFrisk PapyrusPants We meet again!

    B.... ....

    Elfenignis foul.

    B.... ....

    The song is about eating fruit. The video is simple to the point and does what it’s supposed to: be a visualizer for the music.. it’s not that deep dude get over yourself.

  60. �.... �....

    men are living completly in darkness as far as the women are surrendered to theirs insatiable pleasures

    �.... �....

    I've already Heard that from what it is?

  61. H.... T....

    Whoever Gaspar Noe is, he did a horrible job. This is the worst music video I've ever seen.

    H.... T....

    +Joseph Stalin You probably missed most of the '80s then;lucky you.

    H.... T....

    @Ξενος Αγγελος I wouldn't have survived anyway, I got a seizure just watching the video.

  62. t.... ....

    I FUCKING LUVE THIS BAHNDNDDD

  63. N.... ....

    she eats a mango and she feels like a little honey can roll

  64. k.... ....

    what is the maximum effect?
    just wonderful colors

  65. J.... B....

    It probably took them a long time to come up with this music video, unless they were on acid..

  66. I.... ....

    I love this song but jesus fucking christ

  67. N.... J....

    this is a masterpiece

  68. A.... M....

    I don't know why I'm turned on right from her eating a fruit! lol

    A.... M....

    because its directed by Gaspar Noé

  69. n.... ....

    wow gaspar really shat this one out

  70. R.... K....

    Diospiro! not a mango, not a peach, definitely not an apple either. Saucy for sure.

  71. �.... �....

    Какого-то дохлого коня в подвале доедают.

  72. N.... M....

    That's surely a peach....

  73. A.... L....

    5 minutes to increase appetite & lust.

  74. b.... ....

    Somebody get this woman a napkin. 

  75. J.... M....

    the video infuriated me such that i put my foot through the screen and sent avey the bill

    J.... M....

    I know this is an old comment, but the director is one of my favorites, so this video is even worse for that. It’s a great song and an interesting visual, but there should be more to the video.

  76. A.... C....

    its a mango

  77. E.... H....

    My favorite song of 2012. AC are my modern day Beatles circa 1967-1967

  78. R.... R....

    if you´re from a tropical country you just know that THIS IS EXACTLY HOW IT FEELS TO EAT A TOTALLY RIPE MANGO

    R.... R....

    In summer. God

  79. E.... O....

    First time I've seen this video for this great song, Have to admit it, any idea I had of what the video might of been was blown out of the water and then eaten by that mouth, 

    E.... O....

    Lewis Ashley Music when this video first aired, I felt the same. I was imagining some spacy ODDSAC stuff with Avey screaming

  80. A.... ....

    Does it bother you that the song is called "Applesauce" but the girl in the video isn't eating an apple?

  81. S.... C....

    When I listen to this song, I feel like I am in a washing machine.

  82. a.... ....

    Not really

  83. s.... n....

    you sure are

  84. D.... S....

    a peach bro got found in a dinosaur wing

  85. L.... ....

    This video is weird, creepy... and completely mesmerizing.

  86. J.... ....

    "The video is intended to be viewed in complete darkness from maximum effect."

    Friends now have seizures

  87. L.... ....

    FULLSCREEN

  88. p.... ....

    This was a collab with a famous director who has made a movie called Enter the Void. you seem like you would enjoy it....

  89. S.... L....

    Lol the comments on animal collective videos are priceless

  90. K.... M....

    Chingon si eres de México.

  91. U.... ....

    pretentious shit

  92. D.... J....

    She's feeding it to herself, clearly.

  93. D.... J....

    It looks like a tomato she's munching on

  94. J.... F....

    could have knocked that up in my shed

  95. T.... N....

    its b but its i eat a mango

  96. T.... N....

    its b but insteade of peace its mango
