Flowers are a great gift for a girlfriend, wife, or friend needing a quick pick me up. In music, flowers have also been a great pick up me from the radio. Here are some of our favorite hits that involve flowers!
America scored it big with a soft tune that had a woman’s name double as a flower in “Daisy Jane.” The song was a favorite with dentist’s offices as well.

“Sally Go Round the Roses” by the Jaynetts is a song that was way ahead of its time, both in production value and hidden meaning.
