"Peaches" is a single by the alternative rock band The Presidents of the United States of America. The "hook-filled" song about eating peaches from a can was the second single from their self-titled album, and reached #6 on the United States Billboard Modern Rock Charts.^[1]

The band members have acknowledged that they borrowed riffs for this song from Bad Company's "Making Love". ^[2] The band has also hinted towards the fact that the entire content of the song is a subliminal reference to cunnilingus.^{[citation needed]}
