"Peaches" is a single by the alternative rock band The Presidents of the United States of America. The "hook-filled" song about eating peaches from a can was the second single from their self-titled album, and reached #6 on the United States Billboard Modern Rock Charts.
The band members have acknowledged that they borrowed riffs for this song from Bad Company's "Making Love". The band has also hinted towards the fact that the entire content of the song is a subliminal reference to cunnilingus.[citation needed]
"Peaches" was nominated for pop performance Grammy.
"Peaches" was parodied in a Bill Nye the Science Guy video (the song was called Farm Food).
"Peaches" was sampled in the Lemon Jelly song 'The Fruity Track'

The music video of "Peaches" features PUSA in a bushy area with peach trees (cans of peaches are growing in the trees). The video is set in autumn. While they are singing the song, they are attacked by ninjas who try to capture them. The ninjas begin to battle with the band until they are finally stopped by all three members near the end of the video.
