Orange and Songs~

Yum!Yum!ORANGE is a six-member J-ska band formed in 1999. It started out as a seven-member band, with a different vocalist and a saxophone player. Over the years, they changed the vocalist and dropped the saxophone player.


Orange Juice was a Scottish post-punk band founded in the middle class Glasgow suburb of Bearsden as the Nu-Sonics in 1976. Edwyn Collins formed the Nu-Sonics (who were named after a cheap brand of guitar) with his fellow Bearsden Academy pupil, Alan Duncan, and James Kirk and Steven Daly left a band called The Machetes to join them.[1] The band became Orange Juice in 1979. Orange Juice are best known for the hit "Rip It Up", which reached number 8 on the UK Singles Chart in February 1983, the band's only UK Top 40 hit.


"Orange Crush" is a song by the American alternative rock band R.E.M. It was released as the first single from the band's sixth studio album, Green, in 1988. It was not commercially released in the US despite reaching number one as a promotional single on both the Mainstream and Modern Rock Tracks (where it at the time had the record for longest stay at number one with eight weeks, beating U2). It peaked at number 28 on the UK Singles Charts, easily making it the band's then-highest chart in Britain.


Orange is a 1994 album by the punk blues band The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. The track "Flavor" features a guest appearance by Beck. The Village Voice ranked the album #16 of the top albums of 1994.[1] In 2005 the album was performed live in its entirety as part of the All Tomorrow's Parties-curated Don't Look Back series.
