Song of the Day 5/5: Trout Fishing in America, “Pico de Gallo”
I chose this song for today because it mentions Cinco de Mayo, but I was just looking for an excuse. I’ve loved it ever since I heard it on WXPN’s “Kids’ Corner” in the early ’90s — not just for its humor, which I appreciated after listening to years of uninspired kids’ music, but because it’s the only song I know of with a complete recipe in it.


I loved ‘Trout Fishing in America’ by Richard Brautigan.
Me too. Also “Revenge of the Lawn.”
