I would make songs up out of the blue about food. One time, I was prob around 16 & was out with my older sister & asked her what mom was making for supper. I think it was meatloaf & out of nowhere, I started singing about mom's meatloaf & my sister is looking at me as if I lost my mind while she's laughing at me. I wish I could remember how it went.
I just realized what your music reminds me of. It feels like the kind of music Phineas and Ferb would make if they still made inventions and songs once they are adults. That's a high caliber compliment.
I did a thing, it makes perfect sense that you are here and idk why it never occurred to me that you would also watch Tom's music. I love both of your videos, Aussie Aussie
If I had a nickel for every time an Australian musician released a bangin' tune about fruit salad, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's wierd it happened twice.
the thing I love about Tom Cardy is that he's a really good musician who makes his own music from scratch, but instead of wanting to be super famous, he wants to make people laugh with his songs, like Bo Burnham.
The most upsetting thing about this song was learning that corn, depending on what part of it you refer to, can be considered a vegetable, grain, AND fruit
The process of hearing this for the first time... 0:01 - Ha! Fruit salad. Funny song. 0:18 - Oh...oh this kinda bops. Cool. 0:55 - What the crap this goes HARD. 1:31 - Why am I getting chillbumps??? 1:58 - *floating* 2:07 - *playing song full blast, dancing around your home* 2:26 - *planets are aligning, my dog can talk, I want this played at my wedding*
It has become abundantly clear to me that not only has fame not gone to Toms head, but he has actually regressed into doing absolutely whatever the hell he wants and I love it and am here for it.
Haven't eaten cereal since I was nineteen, the sugar content makes me feel queazy. Uneasy, about the sausages- so I steal the wrapped snackages. They make great travel packages. Forgot / about the banana that I stole, now it's fermented in the rental car-console. Lactose intolerant, but the only milk is whole - passing gas on the airplane on the way home. I blame it on the old / grandma, buckled to my right: I offer her a yogurt, no spoon, the seal no longer air tight, hot in my cargo shorts- liquidy but full of pro-biotics… She declines; I partake: it was another huge mistake. Joining mile high club, I throw up \ on the seat in front of \ me - a woman screams, I am causing a transatlantic scene. Her fiancé punches me in face. They were happy and on their way \ to a romantic expensive vacay \ all expenses paid \ in the Philippines, but I vomited on their dreams and engagement schemes. Their designer purse will always smell like Activia, I apologize but then I realize- GOD BLESS, I am in distress. Yogurt bacteria made its way to my intest-ine. No change of clothes on my per-son. Spoiler alert: I soon will be undress-ing. Over Texas \ approaching Mississippi, about to be shitting in my manly tightie whities. Only one toilet, currently occupied, been in there a while, must unload my mess in the aisle: monkey style. The pilot is called, a code brown is announced. Like shitting in shower- it was only once. But I am blacklisted from Delta, revoking my visa: I will never return to America, has·ta la vis·ta.
So this is the second time this song has gotten my depressed ass out of bed, to the store and making a fruit salad. I do not understand how a funny little song overrides my shitty brain chemistry but like thanks for the life hack and the absolute banger song.
Your tummy could be full too, with a fruit salad! Listen to the song while you eat a fruit salad, best of both worlds! (Your comment is such a great description of how this song feels though, it makes me feel the same but I wouldn’t have known how to phrase it without your comment. So thank you for pointing out how good the song is in a way that equips other people with the words to describe such a specific feeling 😸)
Yeah, I really do enjoy the arrangement. Especially those tasty synth lines towards the end, plus the vocoded vocals. But really, all of it is very cool.
I love how the tomato makes tom go off about the LABELS OF SOCIETY - brilliant 2 line tangent for social commentary/edginess. XD Like a little capsule of rage against the machine in a fruit salad song.
Man even just the drum track has so many layers to it. I’m obsessed with the stutter kick at 0:27 and it sounds like there’s about 3 or 4 different kick drums alone…. His production quality is top notch and he just puts out the most ridiculous bangers about hilarious yet relatable subjects. Thank you for all your amazing tunes and humor Tom they always brighten my day!
bless this legend of a man who, despite possessing immense amounts of musical and comedic talent, continues to deliver us silly shitposts on the regular. Everything on this channel is a masterpiece
I've worked it out: his next album will about a journey towards physical health. At first, our protagonist/hero/cop isn't planning meals, eating whatever he has lying around (frozen bread), but at some point makes the decision to shape up and, inspired by reading Tolkein, starts to include light exercising such as walking in his daily routine. Fruit Salad is the triumphant conclusion to the album, a celebration of eating well and still getting more enjoyment out of life.
The jokiness of these songs is just great, but also the songs themselves are all bangers so I guess I'll just invent a whole new category in my head for things I love in too many ways.
Fun botany fact that nobody will care about but that I will share anyway: the tomato is a fruit AND a vegetable! This is because fruit is a botanical term - it is the part of a plant that contains the seed. Vegetable, however, is not a botantical term! All vegetables actually go under different botanical categories - for example, garlic and potatoes are roots (specifically, they're bulbs and tubers respectively), while lettuce and kale are leaves and corn and tomatoes are, rather famously, fruit. However, culinary terms are different; a culinary fruit is edible and sweet, while a culinary vegetable (which is the only kind of vegetable, to be fair) is typically just a catch-all term for a plant we eat, usually savory. Anyway, other things that are botanically fruit: eggplants, squash, pumpkins, cucumbers, wheat, mushrooms (they're fruiting bodies, the fungal equivalent of fruit), acorns, chestnuts, almonds, cashews, and rice. Also, a bonus botany fact: corn, rice, wheat, barley, and bamboo are all grass. Life is weird.
To all lunatics out there who, like me, are progressively learning each and every Tom Cardy's songs 🙃 : ~~~ Lyrics ~~~ [Chorus: Tom Cardy] Put a bit of fruit and salad together Make a fruit salad, yeah everyone's a winner Sweetness of fruit variety of salad Ooh fruit salad you're the best of both worlds [Verse 1: Tom Cardy] Fruit, it's pretty good to eat Natural sugar make it taste so sweet Love to munch an apple right to its core But about halfway it becomes a chore Salad, yum yum, looks pretty good to me Healthy with variety But salad sometimes gets a little bit bland Unless you're having Caesar with a bit of fried bacon [Pre-Chorus: Tom Cardy] We're in the future, 2021 We cloned a sheep and we go to space for fun We send our billionaires up into the atmosphere But I reckon we should just fund what I got here (Fruit) Oh fruit get it yum yum yum Put it on your tongue down inside your tum Then out your bum (Salad) Eat a salad it can't be wrong 'Cause it makes me stronger Fruit salad mother fucker [Chorus: Tom Cardy] x2 Put a bit of fruit and salad together Make a fruit salad, yeah everyone's a winner Sweetness of fruit variety of salad Ooh fruit salad you're the best of both worlds [Post-Chorus: Tom Cardy] I feel like Rambo with a Mango Fruit salad mother fucker (best of both worlds) Eat a salad it can't be wrong 'Cause it makes me stronger (best of both worlds) [Verse 2: Tom Cardy, *Julia* ] Everybody want to hear you talk When you rock a glass bowl and a big fat fork Get busy mixing kiwi and banana Get the big salad like George Costanza *Step 1* Get a fruit and chop it Depending on the fruit remove the skin of it *Step 2* There are no more steps Eat it up, make another, get your fruit salad reps Be cool when you're talking FS *be cool* And remember Tommy knows best *knows best* One rule for the fruit salad show Don't you dare include the tomato It's a fruit it's a fruit I get it But if it's not sweet then you can forget it Don't believe the labels of society FS does not reward blind compliancy [Pre-Chorus: Tom Cardy] Chilly is a fruit, but don't put it in a fruit salad Corn is a fruit, get it out of my fruit salad Cucumber is a fruit, but is doesn't belong If it's going in the tum tum gotta be yum yum [Chorus: All] x2 Put a bit of fruit and salad together Make a fruit salad, yeah everyone's a winner Sweetness of fruit variety of salad Ooh fruit salad you're the best of both worlds [Post-Chorus: Tom Cardy, *Julia* ] Oooooh lemme hear you sing it *la la* *La la, la la la la* Fruit salad mother fucker *La la, la la la la* Best of both worlds *La la, la la la la* *La la, la la la la* Fruit salad mother fucker *La la, la la la la* Best of both worlds *La la, la la la la* *La la, la la*
I found this channel via the "Mixed Messages" animated video, and the first new song I saw/heard before this was the last one: the 'Fellowship of the Walk' video. I've had both stuck in my head since I first heard them, so what's one more song about fruit salad? All of them slap and are in my 'currently listening' rotation. I even shared 'Fellowship' with my dad, and he LOVED IT. Looking forward to whatever rad nonsense comes next!
The obscenely ludicrous amount of production that went into an amazingly hilarious song about, of all things, a fruit salad is astounding and I loved every second of it
possible titles: "The Ballad of the Clipper and the Emery Board" "Long-toenail Sally" "What Kind of Loser Wears Sandals on Moving Day? (ER* Song)" *unless Australians are like Brits and call it A&E? Unsure.
If it weren’t for the written lyrics, I wouldn’t be able to understand half of the lines, but nonethless this is absolutely my jam and it will be on repeat for weeks don’t doubt it. Love your work Tom!❤️
If I ever, ever am feeling a bit down on the day. I play this song at full blast and party down while I drive. This song is amazing. The layering is insane.
I've been going through some depression lately (I mean, it's COVID season still, who hasn't) as I'm stationed overseas away from my wife and family and it's been hard to be happy many days. This song has given me a dopamine hit that I've needed and frankly led me to watch all of Tom's videos (so far). I'm a convert and I hope to see big things from Tom in the future. He's got me as a fan now, so I hope that's cool.
The first time I listened to this, I had just come home from a long day at work, I was tired, and I switched it off because my delusional mind thought that it wasn't good. I am glad that I returned to this masterpiece. I even followed the elaborate 2 step guide involved with making salad. I had so much fun.
First time viewing Tom Cardy and it was delightful, great beat, he has good moves, nice voice and comical words and expressions, AND I loved the banging on the cow bells. :D . Thank you John and Alek
I was enjoying my daily fruit salad.. but little did I know.. it was not mine.. it.. it had.. it had tomatoes in it.. I know that tomato is a fruit.. but man.. it doesn't belong on a fruit salad
Better ask Tolkien what those elves put in the Fellowship's fruit salad so they could sustain their W A L K I N G for 3 entire books. PS: Love the vocoder sound in your vids. Do you just have an inbuilt live vocoder effect in your keyboard or do you record separate vocal and music tracks and mix them together afterwards in something like Ableton/Logic?
I usually have a few vocoders, the main robot voice in this (like near the intro) is a plug-in called “the mouth” from Reaktor over the original sung chorus. Then the chorus has a bit of the Waldorf vocoder, the lil keyboard you can see me singing into.
Well, that just about confirms it. Tom has magic musical powers and can make a good song out of anything. He write a song about the lint in your washing machine and it would still be a banger.
It's a small detail and it might even be done for comedy purposes but I really like how there's captions in the videos. It makes it way easier for me at least to enjoy
Tom Cardy needs to start touring and I need the tickets.

This has amazing harmonies and complexities and it is absolutely the best song about fruit salad anybody will ever make. This is the perfect fruit salad song.

We will learn about this in school once scientific research and mathematics reveal a new field of study: "Objective Art". The study rooted on the discovery of it being possible to make a perfect form of art regarding a particular topic. It will be shown that the set of all possible future outcomes from a given point in time can't yield a better song about fruit salad than this one. September 9th 2021 will forever be regarded as the birth of the field of study known as Objective Art.
Tom is an incredibly talented musician, and consistently puts on these very impressive displays of not only skill (bringing all of these different sounds together into a single cohesive sounding track) but also versatility (he plays *so many instruments*). He uses this intense musical talent to write songs that make me laugh my ass off. What an absolute Treasure!
I didn’t know I needed a fit Aussie man shouting at me about the importance of rejecting social conventions and keeping Nightshade plants in their appropriate culinary niche, but it turns out I did. And here we are!
"Tommy knows best!" with the pointing to the camera, while a fruit salad fills the background, would make a great image for merchandise. But literally every third line in every song would make great merchandise in my mind xD
Every ime I watch one of these videos I'm blown away by how much time and effort it must have taken to put this whole thing together. His songs are amazing and I can't help but dance to each one, but holy cow!
As a Canadian, my exposure to Australian culture has been The Wiggles, Crocodile Dundee and this man. This makes me assume that 2/3 of Aussies are obsessed w fruit salad.
I can't believe it's only been a week and a day. It feels like this has been around for longer, probably because of how many times I've listened. Certified banger.

~~~ Lyrics ~~~
[Chorus: Tom Cardy]
Put a bit of fruit and salad together
Make a fruit salad, yeah everyone's a winner
Sweetness of fruit variety of salad
Ooh fruit salad you're the best of both worlds
[Verse 1: Tom Cardy]
Fruit, it's pretty good to eat
Natural sugar make it taste so sweet
Love to munch an apple right to its core
But about halfway it becomes a chore
Salad, yum yum, looks pretty good to me
Healthy with variety
But salad sometimes gets a little bit bland
Unless you're having Caesar with a bit of fried bacon
[Pre-Chorus: Tom Cardy]
We're in the future, 2021
We cloned a sheep and we go to space for fun
We send our billionaires up into the atmosphere
But I reckon we should just fund what I got here
(Fruit) Oh fruit get it yum yum yum
Put it on your tongue down inside your tum
Then out your bum
(Salad) Eat a salad it can't be wrong
'Cause it makes me stronger
Fruit salad mother fucker
[Chorus: Tom Cardy] x2
Put a bit of fruit and salad together
Make a fruit salad, yeah everyone's a winner
Sweetness of fruit variety of salad
Ooh fruit salad you're the best of both worlds
[Post-Chorus: Tom Cardy]
I feel like Rambo with a Mango
Fruit salad mother fucker (best of both worlds)
Eat a salad it can't be wrong
'Cause it makes me stronger (best of both worlds)
[Verse 2: Tom Cardy, *Julia* ]
Everybody want to hear you talk
When you rock a glass bowl and a big fat fork
Get busy mixing kiwi and banana
Get the big salad like George Costanza
*Step 1* Get a fruit and chop it
Depending on the fruit remove the skin of it
*Step 2* There are no more steps
Eat it up, make another, get your fruit salad reps
Be cool when you're talking FS *be cool*
And remember Tommy knows best *knows best*
One rule for the fruit salad show
Don't you dare include the tomato
It's a fruit it's a fruit I get it
But if it's not sweet then you can forget it
Don't believe the labels of society
FS does not reward blind compliancy
[Pre-Chorus: Tom Cardy]
Chilly is a fruit, but don't put it in a fruit salad
Corn is a fruit, get it out of my fruit salad
Cucumber is a fruit, but is doesn't belong
If it's going in the tum tum gotta be yum yum
[Chorus: All] x2
Put a bit of fruit and salad together
Make a fruit salad, yeah everyone's a winner
Sweetness of fruit variety of salad
Ooh fruit salad you're the best of both worlds
[Post-Chorus: Tom Cardy, *Julia* ]
Oooooh lemme hear you sing it *la la*
*La la, la la la la* Fruit salad mother fucker
*La la, la la la la* Best of both worlds
*La la, la la la la*
*La la, la la la la* Fruit salad mother fucker
*La la, la la la la* Best of both worlds
*La la, la la la la*
*La la, la la*
Exactly what I needed! Thank you!
Absolute LEGEND
Not all heroes wear capes
I wasn't expecting to be this long
Dear God thank you! This is amazing
I found this channel via the "Mixed Messages" animated video, and the first new song I saw/heard before this was the last one: the 'Fellowship of the Walk' video. I've had both stuck in my head since I first heard them, so what's one more song about fruit salad? All of them slap and are in my 'currently listening' rotation. I even shared 'Fellowship' with my dad, and he LOVED IT. Looking forward to whatever rad nonsense comes next!
tom looks likes his music
i love that this is a song by a man who is clearly VERY passionate about fruit salad, he looks so happy while singing
Love how the whole way through the song he looks like he is about to laugh
The obscenely ludicrous amount of production that went into an amazingly hilarious song about, of all things, a fruit salad is astounding and I loved every second of it
You're filling a Mighty Boosh shaped hole in my soul. Crimps are back.
Liam Lynch would be pleased as well
Og yes
Tom, from the bottom of my heart, you’re my favorite shitposter. Love from Canada! ❤️
This sing actually encouraged me to eat fruit. Something about this guy’s songs makes me actually want to get my life together.
I'm humming "fruit salad" to myself in public like a maniac what have you done 🤣
This guy could literally make a whole song about a toenail and it would be amazing
You just know that’s he’s away recording that right now
shhhhh he’s gonna hear you and make a toenail song
possible titles:
"The Ballad of the Clipper and the Emery Board"
"Long-toenail Sally"
"What Kind of Loser Wears Sandals on Moving Day? (ER* Song)"
*unless Australians are like Brits and call it A&E? Unsure.
I love the vertical camera aesthetic with like a 70's grain and text. never change
If it weren’t for the written lyrics, I wouldn’t be able to understand half of the lines, but nonethless this is absolutely my jam and it will be on repeat for weeks don’t doubt it. Love your work Tom!❤️
If I ever, ever am feeling a bit down on the day. I play this song at full blast and party down while I drive. This song is amazing. The layering is insane.
I love that this exists. Being high makes this even better, if that was even possible
This has incredible Mighty Boosh crimping energy.
I've been trying to figure out what the vibe reminds me of and this is it
Good shout. Defnitely has that surreal, irreverent, yet still a banging song, vibe.
It reminded me of Daft Punk
I was JUST thinking this
The chromatic bit on "pretty good to me" around 0:28 is so nice. Also love your masterful use of cowbell. Thank you for this.
This was refreshing. Almost refreshing as...
human pee
vegetable caserole
cucumber
Fruit salad. Yummy yummy!
This man is taking Random shit and making bangers man
Tom could upload a silent video of himself making toast and it would still make my day
don't give him ideas
Cheeky
I'm a simple man Tom, now leave me to dream of you making toast
Forget fruit salad, Tom has more variety 😂
That little dance you do with your hands on your hips really butters my biscuit.
YES.
I've been going through some depression lately (I mean, it's COVID season still, who hasn't) as I'm stationed overseas away from my wife and family and it's been hard to be happy many days. This song has given me a dopamine hit that I've needed and frankly led me to watch all of Tom's videos (so far). I'm a convert and I hope to see big things from Tom in the future. He's got me as a fan now, so I hope that's cool.
Heck yeah dude, I hope that things are a little better for you now :)
this song fucks WAY above its pay grade. legend.
The first time I listened to this, I had just come home from a long day at work, I was tired, and I switched it off because my delusional mind thought that it wasn't good.
I am glad that I returned to this masterpiece. I even followed the elaborate 2 step guide involved with making salad. I had so much fun.
First time viewing Tom Cardy and it was delightful, great beat, he has good moves, nice voice and comical words and expressions, AND I loved the banging on the cow bells. :D . Thank you John and Alek
Friend: Hey Tom, I bet you a hundred bucks you won't write a whole song about fruit salad.
Tom: Hold my fucking monster truck
He would never let someone touch his monster twuck
"I feel like Rembo, with a Mango" Is now my favorite line I never knew I needet to hear. Thank you very much Tom
If i had a penny for each song ever written about fruit salad, I'd have 2 pennies. Which isn't much but it's weird that it happened twice.
This feels like a potential animation meme that is going to be surprisingly angsty. I'm sure someone could turn this into a heartbreaking story.
I was enjoying my daily fruit salad.. but little did I know.. it was not mine.. it.. it had.. it had tomatoes in it.. I know that tomato is a fruit.. but man.. it doesn't belong on a fruit salad
a true tragedy....
Better ask Tolkien what those elves put in the Fellowship's fruit salad so they could sustain their W A L K I N G for 3 entire books.
PS: Love the vocoder sound in your vids. Do you just have an inbuilt live vocoder effect in your keyboard or do you record separate vocal and music tracks and mix them together afterwards in something like Ableton/Logic?
I usually have a few vocoders, the main robot voice in this (like near the intro) is a plug-in called “the mouth” from Reaktor over the original sung chorus. Then the chorus has a bit of the Waldorf vocoder, the lil keyboard you can see me singing into.
@@tomcardy1 kudos to you for sharing your Wizardry white singlet wizard!
Now go f**k with a Balrog.
Well, that just about confirms it. Tom has magic musical powers and can make a good song out of anything. He write a song about the lint in your washing machine and it would still be a banger.
Ngl, I’d love one about washing machine/dryer lint!! As long as it derails part of the way through, of course
It's a small detail and it might even be done for comedy purposes but I really like how there's captions in the videos. It makes it way easier for me at least to enjoy
“Tommy know’s best”
This is my fav TC song.
Tom Cardy needs to start touring and I need the tickets.
This has amazing harmonies and complexities and it is absolutely the best song about fruit salad anybody will ever make. This is the perfect fruit salad song.
We will learn about this in school once scientific research and mathematics reveal a new field of study: "Objective Art". The study rooted on the discovery of it being possible to make a perfect form of art regarding a particular topic. It will be shown that the set of all possible future outcomes from a given point in time can't yield a better song about fruit salad than this one. September 9th 2021 will forever be regarded as the birth of the field of study known as Objective Art.
Tom is an incredibly talented musician, and consistently puts on these very impressive displays of not only skill (bringing all of these different sounds together into a single cohesive sounding track) but also versatility (he plays *so many instruments*). He uses this intense musical talent to write songs that make me laugh my ass off. What an absolute Treasure!
Uninronically made me start eating FS. Thanks Tom!
I didn’t know I needed a fit Aussie man shouting at me about the importance of rejecting social conventions and keeping Nightshade plants in their appropriate culinary niche, but it turns out I did. And here we are!
Really like Julia's harmonies in this one, gives the song that little bit extra
"Tommy knows best!" with the pointing to the camera, while a fruit salad fills the background, would make a great image for merchandise. But literally every third line in every song would make great merchandise in my mind xD
Every ime I watch one of these videos I'm blown away by how much time and effort it must have taken to put this whole thing together. His songs are amazing and I can't help but dance to each one, but holy cow!
As a Canadian, my exposure to Australian culture has been The Wiggles, Crocodile Dundee and this man. This makes me assume that 2/3 of Aussies are obsessed w fruit salad.
why does the stupid hand circle on the leg always get me, tf! .. love this song..
Tom really did say: “Wiggles, your move.”
A tear literally came to my eye watching you live your best life making this. Your channel is the best man :'D
I can't believe it's only been a week and a day. It feels like this has been around for longer, probably because of how many times I've listened. Certified banger.
OH GOD ITS BEEN 3 YEARS
4 months ago, i listened to this song fpr the first time and diddnt really enjoy it
Now its one of my favorite Tom Cardy songs ever
There's something soothing about watching an Australian in shorts, a vest and rocking a mustache sing at you to eat a fruit salad.
