I dont mean this in the wrong way so take no offense to this. But I thought people here were Dave fans. And I thought the Watermelon Song was a fan favorite from early Dave and Tim shows. I know not everyone knows every song he ever did, and maybe im pathetic becuase I try to find every song... Anyways I know its not a dave song I was just curious if anyone new how to play it. I have a few Mp3's of it. My favorite being how Dave and Tim play the music to Sweet Home Alabama but sing Neil Youngs Southern Man over it, straight into the Watermelon Song. I also like the acapella version Dave sang at 3/28/03 probably because I love this song and I never thought id hear him mention it let alone sing it. Plus I was there. lol. Anyways if anyone knows anything about how to play it let me know. And if you want it Im me Doinkin3.

Peace, Justin.

"...see that watermelon
smiling through the fence
i wish that watermelon it was mine
sometimes i think that old folks
ain't got a little sense
when they leave that watermelon on the vine
well apples are sweet and peaches are good
rabbits so very very fine
but give me oh give me
oh how i wish you would
some of that watermelon smiling on the vine..."

We are all Dave fans, some more than most, some that are more than others may also not know everything or heard everything, we can only attain perfection by spreading the music. So spread the wealth man!? Post that MP3 of Dave and Tim you like so much.
