"Tangerine" is a song by British rock band Feeder, released as the band's second single, and the first that was taken from the "Polythene" album. The single managed to gain word-of-mouth success and made #60 on the UK top 75- their first of 23 hit singles to date.cite web|url=http://www.polyhex.com/music/chartruns/chartruns.php|title=Searchable database with chart-runs|work=Polyhex.co.uk|accessdate=2007-03-04]

The track today since 2001 has been given a big dislike by frontman Grant Nicholas. [cite web|url=http://www.geocities.com/feederroom/singles1.html|title="Tangerine" single info|work=Feeder room inactive fansite|accessdate=2007-03-05] Although he was quoted as saying during their May 2008 tour, "we will have to learn it first" when asked to play the song, hinting a return to the live performance of the song in the future. It featured on the original Gran Turismo game as an instrumental. [cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/music/sites/feeder/pages/feeder_memories.shtml|title=Feeder Memories|work=BBC Wales website|accessdate=2007-03-05] Grant once said that the song is about the struggles the band experienced while trying to get a record contract.

Music video

The music video (directed by Toby Duckett) begins with a first person camera sequence of being let in by a doorman to a London building where Feeder are performing in a dingy basement which features rats, several arcade machines, and a man in a bathtub filled with tangerines. Several slow-motion sequences occur during the performance in which tangerines fly at the band as they leap through the air, drummer Jon Lee's bass drum is also filled with tangerines. In keeping with the orange-based image of the song (and of the band at the time) the band wear several orange items of clothing during the video, including their then-trademark orange jumpsuits. At the end of the performance the camera returns to first person, leaves the building and returns to the street.
