what was the one about the Lemon Tree?”
Fool's Garden - Lemon Tree.
I remember this well from late summer 1996. I was on holiday in the Med, a couple of months before it charted in the UK (I remember Mark Goodier saying on Radio 1's chart show that it had sold over 3 million, but it only got to #26 here), and it was being played everywhere, along with Los Del Rio's Macarena.
Both charted in the UK afterwards, and probably because of Brits hearing them abroad during the summer. When I first heard it I thought it sounded like Sting.
