Peaches and Herb


Breakups are funny. Not so much in a funny-ha ha way but funny-strange. What's funnier is reunions. They can be so awkward. Not for me so much but I'm trying to imagine what it's like to be in your shoes. What I like to do is sing the popular Peaches and Herb song "Reunited". This always breaks the ice. Follow it up with a high-five with your ex and you can't help but have a good time.

I considered giving you a taste of all the lyrics but I think they're probably too intense for you. Maybe you'll start reminiscing or something; maybe you'll cry a tiny tear. That would be unpleasant for everyone involved. So I've included the chorus below because it was the only part I could remember and thought fit to copy and paste. Peaches and Herb would probably want some royalties and I'm not emotionally mature enough to pay out.

Reunited and it feels so good
Reunited 'cause we understood
There's one perfect fit
And, sugar, this one is it
We both are so excited 'cause we're reunited, hey, hey

Don't you feel better already. Don't get hung up on Peaches and Herb's promise though. This is not a foolproof plan. Sure, many an ex would melt at the sweet sounds of some P&H. Hell, who wouldn't? There's probably someone out there who could resist the lambchops of one Herb and the soothing click of Peaches' braids. In those cases, you just keep on singing and say "Nuts to you. Nuts. To. You."

In conclusion, Peaches and Herb are awesome. "Reunited" is an invigorating, feel-good song. However, "Reunited" cannot and should not be used willy-nilly nor should the lyrics be interpreted as a reflection of one's true feelings but rather just pretty solid lyrics that generally melt hearts. Peaches are also delicious on their own as a food group; as is Herb.
